March's Literary Adventures

March was really an underwhelming reading month for me. I only finished three books, and they were all just so-so for me. This month has been absolute madness, despite all the self-isolating. Being involved in healthcare law 100% has really thrown my job into a tailspin throughout this COVID-19 pandemic. Between working from home virtually the entire month, and all of the home projects we are trying to finish up, there isn't much time left for reading....sadly. Hopefully April can be a little more calm?

Kendall yball

I would have to say that this debut season of basketball was a total hit for Kendall. She improved quite a bit, as did her entire team, and I saw a great amount of aggressive play by Kendall. I think she has the right temperament for this sport, and I hope she comes back for another season!

February's Literary Adventures

February was another good reading month. I worked my way through seven books. Surprisingly, the first one I dove into was one I ultimately gave up on. Karin Slaughter is a favorite author of mine. She writes a series I am totally devoted to, and has also written a couple stand-alone novels that have been amazing. This one fell totally flat for me.

Every other book for February was amazing. The Rockton series (Kelley Armstrong) is always an epic adventure and one that I wish they would turn into a TV show. 

I also explored a new-to-me author, Tosca Lee, who wrote a two-book series that gripped me from page one. I am bummed that she's not adding more to the series - or maybe she will? 

Volleyball Tourney #2

After the first volleyball tourney went so poorly, we were excited for Addie to get back out there and have a better tourney. And they sure did! They took second place and it was definitely a morale booster for Addie and her entire team. This is the momentum they need going into the next one!

January's Literary Adventures

I have a feeling I'm going to obliterate this year's reading goal.  I have been cruising through books in January - some by my regular authors, some new-to-me. Some psychological thrillers, one very emotional read.  Ruth Ware always spins a creepy, suspenseful book. Rachel Caine's Bitter Falls was an intense (per usual) thriller. All were great books!!

Basketball, Volleyball, and Road Trips, Oh My!

Yesterday was jam packed with sports from the moment we got up to late into the night. Both girls had stuff going on, here in Boise and down in Twin Falls.  

Kendall had her very first basketball game and did such a great job!

Addie also had her first tourney with her volleyball team down in Twin. It made for a crazy long day and we are definitely thankful all of the other tourneys are here in town!
