There are many things that bring me peace. My dogs bring me peace. Reading for me is peaceful. Believe it or not, going to Disneyland brings me both joy and peace. The last thing that gives me peace is traveling to new places and taking beautiful photos.

I'm a Disney-loving dog mom who devours books and chugs coffee. I love going to the movies and concerts. I'm addicted to Friends, Funko Pops, Instagram, and TikTok (obviously, because COVID happened). I'm full of sass, much to the chagrin of my loving and patient husband.
The Most Admirable Professions
I feel like I’m in the profession that I admire the most. I’m a history teacher. I’ve also taught English. I don’t think there’s just one admirable profession. I admire doctors and how they can save a life. I can’t do that. I admire writers. I wish I was one. Writing on this blog satisfies…
Read MoreRanking the Movies I’ve Seen in 2025
I haven’t seen too many movies this year (only 9). Circumstances have made it so I couldn’t. I’ve also included one Netflix movie, which I count. It doesn’t have to be in the theater. Believe it or not, I haven’t seen Wicked or Snow White. I read Wicked in 2001 and saw the musical at…
Read MoreIn a Holidaze
In a Holidaze by Christina Lauren My rating: 2 of 5 pink Gerber Daisies I feel bad for having to write this review. I enjoyed the Un-Honeymooners it was a cute read, In a Holidaze wasn’t as good. I guess I was looking for something too magical. First off Mae and Mandrew (Andrew) both annoyed…
Read MoreMy Store
This is another wonderful question. If I could open a store, it would be a bookstore. I’d also have a coffee shop attached. I’d want it to be a place where people could hold their book club meetings. I’d make the place feel like home for those who need to escape from life. I read…
Read MoreExploring National Parks: History and Fun Facts
Eyewitness National Parks by D.K. Publishing My rating: 5 of 5 pink Gerber Daisies So I read this for my students in the Academic Decathlon. I was their coach for this subject, history, and I had to make tests up based on their reading. I read it at the same pace they did, sections were…
Read MoreMy Important Things
The most important thing I carry with me at all times would be my reading glasses. I once had better than 20/20 vision, but that of course has changed a great deal. Without my glasses, I wouldn’t be able to read my phone (my 2nd most important carried object), my books or anything that would…
Read MoreMusic for Tigers
Music for Tigers by Michelle Kadarusman My rating: 4 of 5 pink Gerber Daisies I read this to support my literature group for the academic decathlon. I’m very happy I read it. I thought it was very well written. I love animals. The entire time reading it, I kept thinking about It’s a Small World…
Read MoreChanging the World
There are so many things I would want my blog to change in this world. I would want people to love knowledge as much as I do. I would want people to see there is still some beauty in humanity. If we stand together and encourage one another to stand up against tyranny, we could…
Read MoreHome Before Dark Review: A Spooky Mystery
Home Before Dark by Riley Sager My rating: 4 of 5 stars It was good. I liked Survive the Night better. It was spooky but not overly scary. It was more of the ambiance. It reminded me of and combo between House on Haunted Hill and Amityville Horror with much less horror. I have to…
