Currently....

{I read Jamie Morrow's Currently every week and I always want to hop on board because it seems like such a fun way to keep you guys updated on the stuff going on in my life so here I am.}

Loving...

Having the desire to blog again, now if only I had the time to get to some of the longer posts that I want to get up. 

Reading...

Still working on Immortal Flame by Jillian David which was my first ever Goodreads win.  I have read a few books in between for reviews that I have promised which is why it is taking so long.  I so rarely read for just pleasure anymore.



Watching...

I have been too busy to watch television all week but we took the kids to see The BFG last weekend (mostly because Finding Dory was sold out) but it was fantastic and I highly recommend it.  Especially if you have a gap like I do with a preteen and a little one who never can agree on a movie, they both LOVED it.



Listening To...

As I have been at work 12 hours a day I have been listening to our super spotty radio, it is driving me super crazy as it keeps cutting in and out. 

Thinking About...

My good friend's family is going though a difficult time right now and I have been concerned for her.  
Anticipating...

Taking a really, really long nap on Friday night and going to Centre Island with the kids this Sunday.

Wishing... 

That my kid's did not take turns having clean rooms, seriously just both of you clean your gosh darn rooms at the same time!

Making Me Happy...

That summer weather brings such great opportunities to get out and make memories with the kids.

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...
