After putting Project Baby to bed Xander and I made a promise to each other to make a point of enjoying our freedom. To take time out together and take little getaways when we can and splurging on ourselves when we are able. We had had such a stressful year in 2013 that we really wanted to find a place …

One thing about TV is that it can sometimes surprise you. Sometimes you are so excited about a show and when it gets started, it’s disappointing. Other times, you go into a pilot thinking it’s going to be terrible, and walk away pleasantly surprised. This happens to me all the time, and one recent, rather extreme, case came to mind …

Ok, this has been a long time coming but I think I’m finally able to write about it! haha I don’t know if you followed my love of the Stephanie Plum series but this is something I’ve been discussing for a while. I used to daydream about a movie being made from this series and came up with my own …

Below is a trailer for a new ABC Family show called Switched at Birth. It is still in its first season but I’m crazy insane over it already. I won’t get into who is in it or what it’s about because if you clicked play on the video you already know all that. So I’m just going to tell you …

The 19th Wife by David Ebershoff My rating: 2 of 5 stars I found this book to be too all over the place for my liking. It says it’s all fiction but parts of it rest heavily on historical facts. To me, it felt like a decent fiction story stuck in between a lot of historical documents. The story of …

This is a post that was originally written for Canadutch, my personal blog. Seeing as it pertains to nails, I thought I would copy it here as well, as I think some of you will get a kick out of it! Last week my friend Penny and I got together for pedicures. It was my very first pedicure ever, can …
