As I mentioned sometime last week, one of my favorite authors, Karen Marie Moning, is releasing the fifth and final book in her Fever series this January. To celebrate, and to try and lure a few more fans to the “dark” side, she has asked some of her readers to “spread the fever.” That’s how…
It’s noon on Halloween and I’m bichok in my bathrobe. It’s one of my nicer robes actually, and I had a wonderful hot shower this morning while the husband took care of the girls and emptied the dishwasher. (How’s THAT for a Halloween treat!?!?) The bathrobe thing isn’t a costume, though I suppose frazzled mom…
I’m super busy today – Miss A’s class Halloween party is this afternoon and I’m “in charge.” Of course, my crafty side went a little nuts and I probably took on more than I should have – but I think the results will be very cute. I’ll post them soon, you might find a new…
Last Friday I posted a plethora of giveaways flyin’ around cyber space. Guess who won one of them? (say that fast, love those homophones!) Yes, me, I won. One. Of them. Prizes, that is. A little birdie dropped by to tell me that the Miloushka necklace I admired is mine for the taking! Yippee! (This…
Now that Miss A is back in school, Lil’ G and I have resumed our daily walks together. I am a total outdoors girl, and since birth, Lil’ G is as well. When she was still a little baby, the husband and I coached Miss A’s flag football team (ok, THAT was a learning experience,…

You know those songs that make you tap your fingers on the steering wheel, pump your foot (hopefully NOT the one on the gas/brake) and just sing at the top of your lungs? Love those songs. Love how it makes me feel better, even when I’m stuck in the purgatory of Chicago-land traffic. Sara Barielles…
I am amazed by all the giveaways floating around blog land today! First, a fun creative site, Bird Crafts, is hosting a giveaway from a teacher who moonlights as a jewelry designer. To enter to win one of her gorgeous unique necklaces, take a peek and comment on which is your fav. Then, another one…
Ooooh, be still my lil’ book loving heart. The girls over at Book Binge are serving up a sweet give away that would make my spring lovely indeed: a Nook (e-book reading device for those of you who reside under a rock) from Barnes & Noble! Speaking of spring, check out the gorgeous colors these…
(and hopefully get lucky) (in the prize dept) (and hell, in other depts too – we are talking romance after all!) The Smart Bitches and the Dear Author girlz are at it again with a sweet little contest to help spread the word about the awesomeness of contemporary romance in general and author Julie James’…
