A writer, a poet and all around book lover. I write for the same reason that I read, because it fills my life with joy and meaning. Books and a love of words has given me a career and once a trip abroad.
A dear friend suggested that I turn my love of books into this blog. So, here we are. As a full time teacher, you can expect me to do my homework and post at least once a week.
Probation
I had the opportunity to do something today that I have been meaning to do for months. I paid off another debt. It won't help me achieve my goal of going back to school. It was small as debts go, but I feel better knowing that this one is taken care of. I am a …

Another Momma Song
She gave me life, She never let me know how insane I was, Or made me grow mean instead of up, She still takes me to the dentist, And lets me get teddy bears to hold and cuddle, She laughs with me, and loves my friends, bears with my animals, She talks and cries with …
Gluten Free and Budget Friendly
This week the budget is going to get tight, skinny jean tight. So I thought I would share how I make it through on weeks like this without pushing my bank account into the red or throwing my diet out the window for some cheap processed food. It is time to get smart. The first …
New Year… New Lessons
A chilly Florida day and Luke was ready to get out and go. Literally. His morning walk was rushed due to an cold snap. I was freezing while Luke was hunting for the perfect spot. Once this was achieved we ran back to the house as my cat, Jack, jogged behind us. It was kind …
