Okay – it’s coming tomorrow. Today, Jan [my ‘other mom’] and I did a Five Minute Flash Fiction exercise. We had a prompt. We had five minutes and… GO! We spent five minutes writing about Alice tried to remember who had given her the key. then we exchanged our version Read more
YAY! I’m finally getting to post a review on Wednesday :). I’ve been planning to do this for like a month and a half now, but things like Christopher’s ‘let’s play the stop breathing game’ and hospital visit stuff then school got in the way. I have about fifteen books Read more
Yeah so this is late. Internet was floofy last night. I really did enjoy Out of Her Hands though I’m not sure that comes across in the review. I think I need a new review numbering system… Five stars just doesn’t have enough nuance, I don’t think. So here’s to Read more

After three days in the hospital, we’re headed home. The general consensus is that Christopher doesn’t tolerate the codeine very well. After mentioning that, Matt’s mom and aunt both mentioned that they can’t take it :p. Would have been good to know but now we do :). It’s not bad Read more
