    Photo Challenge: Rise/Set

    April 6, 2018 /

    I love a good sunrise or sunset photo and can’t resist taking photos of the gorgeous sky during them. When I saw that last week’s photo challenge was “Rise/Set” I looked through my photos to see what sunrise or sunset photo I wanted to use and hadn’t already shared before – at least not for a photo challenge. Last summer I went to Cape Cod for vacation and on the last night I went to dinner at Mattakeese Wharf and was lucky enough to get a table by the window so I could see the view and the beautiful sunset. Luckily it was good weather! I took a whole series of…

    Photo Challenge: Glow

    October 27, 2017 /

    We made it to Friday! The week didn’t feel too long but I am more than ready for the weekend. I’m feeling run-down lately and drained both mentally and physically so I definitely am looking forward to using this weekend to recharge! Last week’s photo challenge from The Daily Post was “Glow” and the photo I picked definitely helps put me in that rejuvenated mindset. I snapped this photo with my phone when out for a walk a few weeks ago. I took this photo in the evening before the sun went down. As I was about to turn a corner the sun was at that stage where it’s just right…

    Photo Challenge: Waiting

    September 15, 2017 /

    “Waiting” was a good photo challenge from The Daily Post last week for me because I was doing a lot of waiting last week. As many of you know, my full-time job is a teacher and you may have seen me mention in a post last week that the beginning of my school year was delayed due to our moving to a new facility and it taking longer than anticipated. So last week was a lot of waiting for updates. I didn’t have a photo to symbolize this waiting game though. I did, however, have time to go through my photos to find one I thought would be a good…

    Last Day on Cape Cod

    July 9, 2017 /

    We’ve reached the last recap post of my vacation to Cape Cod! But fret not, it’s not my last post altogether about my trip because I have a food post coming up later today and I’ll be making a few short videos with highlights of my trip. But for today, I’m talking about my last full day on Cape Cod. My last day there was really laid back and relaxing. After eating our hotel breakfast, my family and I drove about 15 minutes to the Cape Cod Potato Chip Factory! The factory has self-guided tours. “Tour” is a bit generous, you pretty much just walk through and can look through…

    Photo Challenge: Transient

    June 30, 2017 /

    Transient – even just the sound of the word gives off the feeling of impermanence. When The Daily Post challenged participants to post a photo response to the challenge “Transient” a few photos came to mind. Coincidentally, two of the photos I had in mind were of birds. One was of a bird that was perched on the railing of my porch for a really long time and I was able to get a close-up. I like to think he/she was thinking about where to fly off to next. The other photo was taken from my bedroom window of hundreds of birds in my yard. It’s the creepiest and coolest…

    Photo Challenge: Pure

    June 17, 2016 /

    It’s hard to believe today is my last day of work before my summer break. That’s right, today is the last day of school! It’s been a busy and tiring school year so I’m welcoming this break with open arms. All that stands between me and summer break is a half day of work, a staff lunch, and graduation tonight which I’ll be hosting again. Hopefully I don’t mess up while speaking or saying names for diplomas. Wish me luck! In keeping with the idea of summer break beginning, my photo response to this past week’s The Daily Post’s photo challenge for “Pure” is a picture I took in my backyard…

    Photo Challenge: Ephemeral

    April 3, 2015 /

    I’m officially on spring break! It was much needed and hopefully it isn’t ephemeral (see what I did there?!). So obviously, the latest photo challenge from The Daily Post is “Ephemeral”, which means lasting for a very short time. Some of the most beautiful photographs are ones that capture something that happens so quickly that you think you or the photographer was so lucky to catch that at just the right moment. This is another one of those photo challenges where it’s really helpful if you already have a photo in your archives because it’s not something you can really look for or force. I thought about pictures I’ve taken…

The Do-Over by @lynnpainterkirkle follows high sch The Do-Over by @lynnpainterkirkle follows high school junior, Emilie. Emilie is smart, friendly, and always follows the rules. Having divorced parents that fight more often than they pay attention to her, Emilie has lived her life trying to be highly organized and never cause any problems. She plans the perfect Valentine’s Day for her and her bf, Josh, but the entire day is a disaster and includes finding out Josh is cheating. Wanting nothing more than for February 14 to be over, she is not happy to find out she is living in a time loop and every morning is Valentine’s Day all over again. After multiple repeat days with nothing changing, she decides to have a DONC - Day of No Consequences - where she will do and say whatever she wants. Going along with her on the DONC? Her grumpy chem partner, Nick. 💗📚🗓️

I loved this book! It was so adorable. Emilie was such a good character and I loved all the days she spent with Nick, even if he didn’t remember. Such a cute book! My full review is on the blog ✨📖

I like reading a good thriller every once in a whi I like reading a good thriller every once in a while, but I don’t naturally gravitate towards them. So when I tell you I was hooked on Dark Obsessions by @marie.sutro , it’s a big deal! 📖

Dark Obsessions is the second book in the Kate Barnes series, but can be read as a stand-alone. While Kate is on leave from the San Francisco Police Department, she goes to a small town in Washington State to try to get some closure with her estranged mother. While there, a gruesome murder is discovered and the sheriff asks Kate to help him investigate. Their investigation uncovers an ever larger and more sinister crime ring. 🕵🏻‍♀️

The story was so good and I loved Kate and Tony (the sheriff). My only critique is that it was a little long, but that didn’t stop me from reading because I needed to know the ending! My full review is on the blog ✨

Finale was a great ending to the Caraval series. I Finale was a great ending to the Caraval series. It picked up right where Legendary left off and I loved being back in the magical world of Caraval ✨. 

The Fates have been released from the Deck of Destiny and the worst of them all - The Fallen Star - has taken Scarlett. Now they need to all work together to save Scarlett. I loved the book! I just wish I could’ve spent more time with Tella, Legend, Scarlett, and Julian!! 💖😍📚My full review is on the blog ✨
