We all know that a fruitcake is a crazy person. So what kind of crazy person have I become? The food kind. Everybody either knows a food fruitcake or is one. And they come in many different flavors: you've got your keto fruitcakes, your vegan fruitcakes, your vegetarian fruitcakes, your Whole30 fruitcakes, your Atkins fruitcakes... Continue Reading →
I never thought I would go back to school. I was very pleased to have finished college the first time and had no desire to upgrade my education. But after six years of teaching in private and public schools, I was not only beyond ready to stay home with my kids, I had no desire... Continue Reading →
For some time now, I have wanted to organize my books more efficiently. I have quite a few. I still don't know exactly how many.

A couple of years ago, I read Marie Kondo's book, The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up. It really helped me evaluate my possessions more clearly, and I lightened my load of stuff considerably. Now that I've finished reading her latest book, Spark Joy, I am continuing the work that I never finished before. I tackled... Continue Reading →
...in Ravenclaw. *sigh of contentment* Years ago, when I first joined Pottermore, I was sorted into Hufflepuff. Now I'm not one of those people who look down on Hufflepuffs. *cough, Hillary Sears, cough, cough* It just didn't make sense to me that I would be sorted into a house whose main descriptor is that they're loyal....

So, on Sunday of this past week, I decided I was taking a little break from Facebook. I recently finished reading 7 by Jen Hatmaker, and it has made me even more aware of how much time I spend on it. I like for people to think well of me, so I generally keep my... Continue Reading →
