Just a stay-at-home mother of four writing about books, parenting, and life in general. I hope you enjoy the ride.
Well hello April! I can’t believe we are already in April?! It seems like yesterday we were celebrating New Year’s. Before I jump into how awesome April is going to be I need to recap how my March 2024 went. March was a little bit like a snail. I was…
This is one of Luke’s favorite dishes of all time. He LOVES lasagna and I make it for him every year on his birthday. I have been wanting to share this easy and delicious lasagna recipe for a while. I have tried many lasagna recipes and have found most of…
This is my sixth year of blogging (yes, this is my 6th year!) and I can’t believe I never wrote a spring bucket list post before. I love making bucket lists for my family of all the fun activities we are going to try to do that season. This spring…

2023 was an outstanding year for me enjoying some awesome books. In 2023, I read or listened to 115 books. There were some I loved and others that I think about and cringe. I thought what better way to start 2024 than sharing 10 books that you NEED to check…
