    What ‘Wild’ Can Teach You About Straying During Your Hike

    March 1, 2019 /

    If you’re planning a hike any time soon, there’s a chance that Cheryl Strayed’s memoir ‘Wild’ has played some part. Strayed’s memoir of her 1,100-mile hike has become something of a cult icon. And, women across the world now plan copycat hikes. Some go straight to Strayed’s very own Pacific Crest Trail. Others head to similar iconic destinations like the Lost Coast Trail in California. Either way, they go with the idea of self-transformation and ‘Wild’ in mind. Of course, there’s nothing wrong with this copycat approach. Whether you read the source material or watched the film, you’ll know that the memoir has an ultimately positive message. It’s proof that…

    Rediscover The Pleasure Of Nature

    January 30, 2019 /

    With every generation, it seems that western civilization is moving away from nature. When your grandparents probably still knew the flowers in their garden by name, most adults today wouldn’t recognize a potted geranium. Admittedly, you don’t need to know the name of each pant to appreciate its beauty. But in our fast-paced society, nobody has time anymore to enjoy the marvels of Mother Nature. I have house plants, you say, I love nature. And while this might be true, you need from time to time to rediscover your connection with nature. You have to physically dedicate time to engage and interact with the life around you, in its mineral…

    Photo Challenge: Silence

    January 26, 2018 /

    Friday I thought you’d never come! I’ve had a cough all week and I desperately need some downtime this weekend. Unfortunately, I have to go in to work tomorrow for an open house event, but at least I can sleep in a bit. Last week’s photo challenge from The Daily Post was “Silence” and I decided to go with this photo I took during (well technically after) a snowstorm back in 2016. I love the end of a snowstorm when everything is silent, still, and peaceful outside. Do you know what I’m talking about? You open your door and everything is completely still outside. The snow plows haven’t started yet.…

    November 17, 2017 /

    I can’t believe that Thanksgiving is next week! It feels like November just started. I’m not a fan of time going by so quickly, but I am excited for the holiday! Last week’s photo challenge from The Daily Post was “Temporary“. Most of the beautiful autumn leaves have fallen from the trees now where I live but there a few stragglers still on the trees. Of course, the ones left are not looking too pretty after withstanding downpours and gusty winds. But, a few weeks ago the leaves were looking gorgeous with their fiery, autumnal colors. When I was out for a walk in my neighborhood I saw this tree absolutely…

    Happy Friday! This week has felt so weird. With the long weekend I kept losing track of the days and then yesterday felt like a Friday. Plus it’s the end of the school year with a little more than 2 weeks left so things are just crazy! Last week’s photo challenge from The Daily Post was “Evanescent“, which means a fleeting moment in time or something soon passing out of sight. For my photo I used a photo I took last week when I was out in my yard cutting some peonies. I look forward to these flowers blooming every year but they all bloom so fast – faster than…

    Happy Friday! This week has been weird. I feel like I didn’t know what day of the week it was all week. Anyone else feel out of sorts this week? Last week’s photo challenge from The Daily Post was “Danger!” and the example was pretty funny. I thought about what photos I had that might be good for the challenge and I finally settled on one. Now, two things to preface this photo. 1) This was actually a video and I screenshot it for the purposes of this photo challenge. 2) It was taken by my brother and not me although I was sitting right next to him when he took…

Quarterback Sneak by @kandisteiner is the third bo Quarterback Sneak by @kandisteiner is the third book in the Red Zone Rivals series and focuses on Holden and Julep. If you read the first 2 books then you know Holden is the star quarterback of his college team and is 100% focused on football. That is until Julep transfers to his school. Not only is his immediate attraction to Julep a distraction when he’s trying to get drafted this season, but she’s also the coach’s daughter and completely off-limits. But it’s hard to avoid her when she’s on the athletic training team and she gets assigned to care for him when he injures his shoulder 😳🩷🏈

Holden and Julep try to keep some distance between them but when they learn they both have tragedies in their pasts they find they can understand each other better than anyone else can 💕. 

I loved this book and Holden and Julep!  This book is definitely darker and heavier than the first two in the series because of the tragedies and loss Holden and Julep went through when they were younger, but there’s still a lot of hope, optimism, and of course love in the story 🩷. 

Read this if you want a spicy sports romance with the forbidden romance trope 📚. My full review is on the blog ✨
