Hello there! Thanks for checking out my blog. Fun Facts: • I'm in my early 30s! • Writing is a HUGE part of my life—I'd be lost if I couldn't express myself through words. (Growing up, books were a source of comfort for me. I’m still drawn to bookshelves & read as often as I can.) • My other hobbies include knitting, gaming, & coloring. • I have two "Golden Girl" Retrievers, Charlie (4) & Lily (almost a year old! How time flies). My family, friends, dogs, & fiancé Rory are all very important in my life. I honestly wouldn't trade them for anything! Happy blogging, everyone! 💙

Dear Jim Cummings,

Your voice is my childhood. Ever since I found out who voiced Winnie the Pooh and Tigger, I learned that you’ve given your voice to so many characters I recognize from my childhood.

Happy 5th Year Blogging!

Hello, everyone! Today marks my fifth year blogging! My very first blog, On the Prairie, was a huge undertaking. I mostly wrote about my time in college, the films I watched, the books I was reading, and other things that interested me, like my favorite bands. This is my second official blog, and I loveContinue reading “Happy 5th Year Blogging!”

Afloat

you keep me afloat as we drift through choppy knives of blue-green waters,the sea-salt stinging like a ray you hold my numb hand,thick and calloused at the knuckle, when our small boat takes on icy water, burbling up from a hole in the hull you promise me, “it will be alright,” through the forest’s coldContinue reading “Afloat”

Northern Lights

Raymond Strom’s debut novel takes place in a teeny tiny town called Holm, Minnesota. As desperately as I’ve tried, I cannot for the life of me find this town on a map. Even Googling the town leads me to people with the last name Holm. So maybe Holm is very, very tiny or doesn’t exist.Continue reading “Northern Lights”

Dear Lin Manuel Miranda,

Thank you so much for writing about “the ten dollar founding father.” Your acclaimed Grammy, Tony award-winning, Pulitzer Prize musical Hamilton has not only educated but inspired thousands of people, including me.

Tariffs, Mexico, & Trump

If you know your history, you’ll know that the tarrifs on items from Mexico is like the taxation on tea.

Gmorning, Gnight: little pep talks for me & you

Lin Manuel Miranda is a writing genius. In Gmorning, Gnight, he’s created witty, meaningful little boosters after you’ve had your morning coffee, or your evening tea. He continually reminds his readers that they are worth something to the world, that they just need a little pep talk to help them keep going.

#gameofthrones

I heard who gets the Iron Throne and now I can’t get it out of my head. Seriously. Now I just want to read the books and forget said spoiler. Kudos to The View for telling me who wins. I won’t spoil it for anyone else.

ASoI&F: A Clash of Kings (#nospoilers)

It’s hard to write reviews for books that may contains major spoilers. Especially if the book you’re writing about is A Song of Ice and Fire: A Clash of Kings. So, instead of talking about the plot, I’m going to talk about the series as a whole, and who my favorite characters are and why.
