I don’t give five star reviews out without making the author earn it. Stories need to be more than just great in order to earn them. Because of this, many authors who write books I enjoy still don’t get all five star reviews. Davalynn Spencer is one author who has […]
It’s hard to know where to start in putting my thoughts down regarding this story. There are so many facets to it! First, let me say that it is a deeply spiritual story, as Valerie struggles with the idea that God cares about her at all. And both she and […]
I enjoy watching the look on the face of someone when I have given them a gift I know is just perfect for them! It is such a satisfying feeling to be able to bless someone in this way. But even more than this, I love being able to bless […]
My dad cooked a handful of things when I was growing up, and only that handful. Pancakes – which he cooked but didn’t mix the batter. He always had fun making them into shapes for us. Looking back, I wonder if this was to cover up the fact he couldn’t […]

The concept behind Mistletoe Kiss was cute and is a trope I enjoy a lot – best friends for life decide to be part of an attempt to set a world record.

Each time we have wandered the trails, the overgrowth and destruction from previous hurricanes have prevented us from finding the correct path to get there. Yet we’ve been told (and seen the pictures) that the 200-year-old […]
My eyes grew big at the beautiful antiques my friend had inherited from her family. My “heirlooms” are mostly handcrafted knickknacks and a handful of old jewelry. I have a ceramic lady about 8 inches tall that my great-great grandmother made in the very early 1900s, a vase my aunt […]
