Day 31: Free day. Whatever you like! I’m so tired writing this now (and Coraline just threw up in her crib) that I’m drawing a blank as to what to write about. Aha — how about some of the stranger search terms that have brought people to my blog? In…

Day 25: Something you are looking forward to. In the near future, I’m looking forward to both a long weekend getaway with Rich and Miss Baby, maybe to Biltmore in Asheville (my strongest preference), or Charleston, Savannah, or Charlotte. Then later in the summer we’ll likely take a week-long vacation…

31 Day Blog Prompt Challenge Day 24
Day 24: Your favorite book or author. I have to say, I really can’t pick just one author, so I’ll break it down a bit. As a kid, I devoured books by Beverly Cleary. The Ramona Quimby series was my favorite. And when I read Ramona Forever and the Quimby…
