The Bit

When is this month going to be over! It feels like it's just been dragging on and on and the weather has been absolutely horrible. As I predicted, I was only able to put away two books this month because we are moving. Like, tomorrow. The house is a mess, there are boxes everywhere, and the weather hasn't been above freezing in a week. I'm over it. 100% over this move. *Deep breath* Moving on. These two books were exceptional this month, I mean, really really good. I'm so happy to share them with you guys, if maybe only to distract myself from all the packing and last minute things that need to still get done. These two stories have given me a much needed break from the stress of this month. Seriously, go to your library today and check these out, you will not regret it. "Living Dead Girl"- Elizabeth Scott Everybody needs to read this book. Men, women, boys, and girls, seriously read it. It's short, and you can easily finish it in one sitting. It'...

I Have Something to Share I am a mother, a college educated woman, my family is not traditional, I move a lot because staying in one place can seem claustrophobic, I married young, I stay at home with my kids, I have dreams and ambitions like everyone else on this planet. And like everyone else, I feel like I have something to share. My blog is a perfect p...

Lately, I have taken a direct interest in stepping up my blog game. I miss writing, and I wanted to rededicate more time to blogging. My sister, who also has a blog , asked me how I still come up with blog posts. Well, lately, I haven't been, and most months I just blog about what I've been reading; which is always popular amongst the crowds. I very much enjoy writing and have recently decided to work on self-publishing one of my books. Yes, I have written a book! I also enjoy many other types of art including, visual, musical and cooking/baking (it's considered an art!). So, I've compiled a list of five things I do to help me keep my creative edge in my writing. This will be the first post of a series of ways I stay creative. We all need a creative outlet, whether you feel gifted or not, creating content is like food for your mind. And we could all use a good dose of mental stability every now and then. 1.
