Celebrate The Small Things: June 17, 2016



Celebrate the Small Things is hosted by Lexa Cain along with wonderful co- hosts Writing Off The Edge and The Cyborg Mom.

I have been MIA for a while, since before the A to Z Challenge, I have not been feeling the blogging bug so I have just been doing my book posts and ignoring the blog.  We spent the weekend away and after the short R & R I have gotten my grove back so to speak.  Yay!

Also on my list of celebrations this week is Cat's performance in the choir for Blanche Niege at school yesterday.  She has been practicing for months and it really paid off.

Before Rehersal
What are you celebrating this week?

    I'm getting back into the groove myself lately. Gave myself a break from blogging to deal with real life things like cats having kittens and such.

    But today I am not only blogging and doing Celebrate, I'm going to submit some poems to a literary magazine.

    Aw, what a beautiful smile in that pic! I have one kid in band and one in orchestra and seeing them perform is so awesome. I'm about to lose all my quiet writing time next week with summer vacation starting on Tuesday. Waah! So I'm celebrating the last moments of peace.

    Your daughter is adorable! It's wonderful when parents enjoy and support their kids' activities. It's so important to the kids. Yay for getting your groove back, and have a lovely weekend! :)

Making Mac and Cheese

Image
One of my favorite vegetables is butternut squash so when Chatelaine  posted this yummy looking recipe  for mac and cheese brimming with squash I immediately pinned it to make at a later time.  Now, before Pinterest  I am willing to admit, recipes got saved in my e-mail, but they never got made.  They just got lost in the shuffle; now they get neatly organized and displayed where I can go through them on a regular basis.  More importantly than that I can try them.   This recipe worked out well for me, I thought the cheese and squash tasted great together, the kids however did not agree.  They like their squash on the side, where they can control how much they ingest.  Next time I will definitely use less breadcrumbs though.

Spooktacular Giveaway Hop

When I was much younger than I am now, I loved nothing more that a good "spooky" story.  I spent many nights laying up in bed reading books that were designed to make your skin crawl and leave you with goose bumps. My personal favourite author for Young Adult Thrillers was and probably still is Christopher Pike.  Twenty years after reading his books some of them still stand out in my mind in perfect clarity.  The top one would be Remember Me. Something about Shari's story struck a chord with me that has echoed through the last twenty years, as any good book should I suppose. Sadly when I was a teenager I didn't hold on to as many books as I do now so I spend a lot of time hunting to replace the ones I really wish I had kept. (Sweet Valley High anyone?) I am giving away a $15 Amazon gift card in the hopes that you can use it to buy a book to be loved as much as I loved this one. a Rafflecopter giveaway This post is part of The Spooktacular Giveaw...
