Celebrate The Small Things: August 5, 2016



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

This week I am celebrating being smart enough to use the fact that my cough is keeping me from sleeping to read Harry Potter and the Cursed Child instead of just suffering.

Also that I am blessed to have family nearby to help me out with my children when I am in a bind.

What are you celebrating this week?

    So sorry you are not well. I hope the reading takes your mind off your misery. And that you have people to help.

    I have a lot to celebrate by me including new sales of my book and the fact that my missing mother cat came home to care for her kittens, so I didn't have to make another mother cat raise 11 kittens which I suspect she'd prefer not to do.

    Hope you're feeling better soon (and that you're enjoying The Cursed Child).

    Hope you're better soon! But at least the cough is being used as a great excuse. And glad to hear you have some help.

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 Giveaway Hop
