Hey gang! I’m so excited to announce that I am participating in my very first blogathon! *THROWS HAT IN THE AIR* Eva of Coffee, Classics, & Craziness and Hamlette of Hamlette’s Soliloquy are hosting a blogathon in honor of the 75th anniversary of D-Day. The blogathon began yesterday and will be completed on June 8th. The blogathon will cover a variety of topics…
Hey howdy hey, my people! How did the Merry Month of May treat you? I went through most of May looking something like this – But I survived – so that’s always fun. 🙂 But I woke up this morning not just to discover that I survived May, but that it’s now JUNE. CAN WE HAVE…
It was hard to know when to schedule this experimental blog post, because Spring is such a relative term for so many people.Some of you are still recovering from freezing cold and are holding onto the hope of spring because of a single feeble patch of green in your yard (poor babies!). Some of you are already so embroiled (emphasis…

Hey-howdy my fine citizens! I have seen this period drama tag floating around the blogosphere for a bit and as I read the various posts, something scary came to my attention. Most of the answers involved things like Jane Austen, When Calls the Heart, and Anne of Green Gables! Come on guys, we don’t want to scare away…

Plus an older group of girls that fall into the “the trap of love” themselves! The 30s style costumes are yet another treat in this movie. …
As many of you may know – I accept challenges. If I reach certain amounts of subscribers on my blog, I will complete that challenge. A month or so ago, I decided to watch the much lauded Pride and Prejudice (as well as reviewing it) after reaching 50 followers. Well, I have reached 54 subscribers on my blog and I…
