There are so many things about England that I wish I could bring home with me. But meat, cheese, cakes, coffees, and people don’t fit well in suitcases and tend to raise red flags when trying to get through TSA. Every year as we settle back into our American life my husband and I alwaysContinue reading “An Ameri Brit Brunch”

Weasel Words: The Irresistible Novel
I’m back home now from my month long excursion to England. I’m still nursing a bit of jet lag and have been feeling a little under the weather. But no powers of exhaustion will keep me from taking a look at the seventeenth chapter in The Irresistible Novel, a book by Jeff Gerke to helpContinue reading “Weasel Words: The Irresistible Novel”
English Wardrobe on a Budget
This summer during my stay in England I spent a fair amount of time in Primark shops in Winchester and Southampton. To give Americans a comparative to understand Primark it is most similarly like a giant shop full of Target clothing (Merona). The clothes are of decent quality, fashionable, and easy on the wallet. OverContinue reading “English Wardrobe on a Budget”

English Costa
In America, you can hardly go three city blocks without encountering a Starbucks Cafe. Although Starbucks is present in England it’s prevalence is much less than that of Costa. Every year that’s one thing I look forward to–a warm mocha (pronounced mock-uh in the UK) topped with cream and drizzled with cocoa. Nothing beats theContinue reading “English Costa”
Breaking the Fourth Wall: The Irresistible Novel
Before I started seriously engaging in the authoring world I lacked knowledge about breaking the fourth wall. Not to say I used it all the time, but if I’m being honest I included such practice in some of my writing. This is one dramatic way in which blogging and writing fiction differ. One is indisputablyContinue reading “Breaking the Fourth Wall: The Irresistible Novel”

Hoola Fit
One of my favorite parts of this summer’s stay in England has been my weekly Hoola Fit class with my Mother-in-Law. She has been taking the class since January so she has been kicking my butt. My first week was a bit rough, but each week I’ve progressed. I was bound and determined after a sixtyContinue reading “Hoola Fit”
Dear Daughter (Part 2)

Along with Mommy and Daddy you take in the sights and enjoy the scenery with a big, beautiful smile. You understand several cultures, and get that justContinue reading “Dear Daughter (Part 2)”
