reeling our way to virginia: part one
We started out bright and early at 12:30pm on Wednesday afternoon, asking ourselves why we hadn’t both just taken the whole day off of work and left that morning. Continue reading reeling our way to virginia: part one
breakfast club, pretty in pink, even st elmo’s fire
I never saw any of the popular 80s movies everyone has seen until I was probably 21 years old and watched Dirty Dancing. And that’s probably a good thing. These movies are not good. Here’s a few I’ve watched this year: Continue reading breakfast club, pretty in pink, even st elmo’s fire
Post Roe America
Considering how Roe v. Wade was overturned nearly three months ago, you would’ve thought we’d have posted something about it by now. I Continue reading Post Roe America
book review: keeping secrets
Enough time has passed that I feel mentally ready to conquer another book in the Sadie’s Montana series by the esteemed Amishwoman and weight awareness warrior, Linda Byler. Continue reading book review: keeping secrets
catherine’s take: vocations
I got annoyed by a blog post that said for women a M.R.S. degree is the highest degree they can attain besides the religious life. I’m all for stay at home moms, or being a religious, but some women are called to be single or be married and still have a career. Continue reading catherine’s take: vocations
book review: the history of henry esmond

Then I caved even further and started to read The Lopsided Christmas Cake, the preceding book to The Farmer’s Market Mishap. In the prologue Elma and Thelma are left their grandparent’s house and store in Topeka, Indiana after they died … Continue reading book review: the lopsided christmas cake

Our last major stop of the trip turned out to be my favorite. After a freezing cold, windy, and rainy day before, we couldn’t have asked for better weather for the day we hiked at Teddy Roosevelt. Continue reading theodore roosevelt national park
book review: the long road home by lori wick
The Long Road Home (more like The Short Road to the Insane Asylum) by none other than the infamous enabler Lori Wick. I don’t often read Lori Wick books, I leave this particular hell to Catherine. But, I was bored so I said, pick a Lori book and I’ll read it. She chose a horror that she hadn’t read. Continue reading book review: the long road home by lori wick
