It’s hard to believe that we’re only a little more than a month into summer. Maybe it’s the fact that I’m currently editing magazine articles about pumpkins and fall foliage (my favorites). Luckily I need only walk outside for Arizona to remind me of exactly where we are on the calendar. Nothing screams ’tis the season more than cookies […]

Happenings (viii)
1. I turned 27 back on May 9. Similar to last year, part of my birthday weekend was spent in St. Louis, where I had the chance to spend some time with my Grandma Gige. We attended an early afternoon showing of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, which was really good. I watched Ace Young’s […]
Happenings (vi)
Whew. It was definitely not my intention to take a two-week hiatus from blogging. But between extra work projects (always a good thing), endless Christmas shopping (officially done!) and a desire to make the most of the seemingly fleeting weeks of December, it was necessary. Here are a few particularly fun things that have been […]
Reading Between the Wines: The Compound by S.A. Bodeen

Reading Between The Wines: The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern
Last night’s meeting of Reading Between the Wines was so much fun! Between the circus-themed goodies provided by Shanley (our hostess) and the Bacardi favors provided by Nicole (more on that in a bit), we had a great time. Oh, and the book discussion was fun, too. 😉 I actually read The Night Circus at […]
Reading Between The Wines: The Paris Wife by Paula McLain
This weekend marked the second meeting of Reading Between the Wines. Our book selection this time around was a lot different than our first pick, but I love variety and jumping from young adult to historical fiction is pretty much my normal reading routine. Plus, I’d been wanting to read The Paris Wife by Paula […]
