    You can’t tell it here from all the recipes and book reading, but this girl likes to dance. Lately, I’ve been jamming out to this little song by Ms. Ariana Grande. It is exactly the sort of thing I would have rocked out to in college at The Hawk.

    When it comes to reading, I’m a sucker for anything related to Pride and Prejudice or love stories set in England. Like clockwork, I find myself picking up something that falls into at least one of those two categories every few months. My most recent read, Longbourn by Jo Baker, fit the bill in both areas.…

    Need an excuse to dance? Try this song. It is infectious.

    Reading with Ellie is one of my favorite things, but I am the first to admit some children’s books can be a little obnoxious. Difficult rhymes and lackluster illustrations become pretty tedious after you’ve read a story a hundred times in one sitting. Over the last year and half, I’ve found some books we both…

    I am a Judds fan. You didn’t know that? Well, I’m not entirely sure I realized it until a few weeks ago, but it has been confirmed by the four or five “new” Judds song I downloaded to my phone. So, now,  you can see me “rockin to the rhythm of the rain” pretty much…

    For book club last month, we read Attachments by Rainbow Rowell. The Plot: The story takes place in 1999. The Internet is still relatively new. The clothes are phenomenal. The  male lead, Lincoln, has been hired to monitor emails at a newspaper. (Big Brother is watching.) While at work, he starts following the correspondence of two of his…

    Oscar night is both parts fantastic and frustrating. Every year, I look forward to the red carpet, but then, end up shaking my fist at the T.V. asking them to pan down or show me a dress. I am quite the heckler when it comes to award show coverage. It’s not pretty people. After looking at the…

    I don’t think we’ve talked about it here, because it’s not something I typically go around sharing with people, but I love romance novels. In my mind, they are the best escape from every day life. When I’m stressed or bogged down, nothing quite like a formulaic romance will take the edge off my day. Will…

    Lately, I’ve been reading up a storm. It has been wonderful. So has Ellie. Here she is reading her first romance novel. One of my favorite books was Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell. It’s about high school love and is told from each of the main characters’ points-of-view. The book is charming and nostalgic and…

    I’ve been a reading machine lately and have three, new recommendations. The first is Midnight in Austenland, a sort of sequel to Austenland. It’s part romance, part mystery – very dishy. Overall, it’s a light and lovely read. The second book was recommended to me by the real, Kim K. (Ok, not that Kim, but…
