Strange day today. Today we met with Matthew, of Puddletown Talent here in Portland, and walked away with an agent for our daughter. Well, he didn’t come with us… he stayed there, because it would have been awkward to take him with us. But with the exception of crossing a few “T”s and dotting a … Continue reading
So, obviously, my New Year’s resolution is to blog more. Why have I taken such a long break? Not sure… but, here we are again. Like the new look? Good lord — has it been a year! Right?! Rowan has gone from being a baby…. To being a full-on young lady. Rowan & Santa, 2010 … Continue reading
Here’s my first review for the Harry Potter Book Challenge. If you’re just now tuning in, here are the details. ________________________________________________ I wish I could go back and read Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone again for the very first time — to relive that first glimpse of Rowling’s magical world, experience again the thrill … Continue reading
Getting started a little late here, but am super excited to have found this challenge and wanted to invite you all to do it with me! Dun-da-dun! The Harry Potter 2011 Book Challenge, put on by Daemon’s Books. It’s true… I’m a huge Harry Potter fan, always have been, always will be. And this is … Continue reading

Turning, forehead wrinkled against the rain, he was pleased to see a small shop, which, though having walked the route every day for six months, he’d never noticed before. Ducking inside, he … Continue reading
So, it’s late at night after a long day, you’re hot — all you want to do is shove some delicious carbs in your face and watch 24 Hour Restaurant Battle. Okay, maybe I’m projecting a little, but insert *read book*, *play video games*, *go to bed*…whatever. We’ve all had those nights when easy food … Continue reading
It’s true, no sense in denying it — I’ve totally been slacking on the blogging. It’s funny, I actually got so overwhelmed by all the stuff I wanted to write about…that I didn’t write about any of it. That, combined with newly acquired chickens (more on that later), sick baby, yardwork, actual work…well, it’s been … Continue reading
You’ll notice that I refer to this being Part 1 of an undetermined number of posts regarding our recent trip to Montana. There’s just too much to cover in one single post! To start off with, I present a photo journal of the first leg of our journey. I was really excited about this trip…Rowan … Continue reading
