People who write regularly seem to enjoy putting together {best of} lists. Especially around the new year. You know, best songs of 2014. Best books. Best movies. In times past, I posted a blog entry every Friday entitled Flapjack Friday Faves. That was back when I made my kids pancakes every Friday morning. And I took the … More favorite things
It’s once again……….FRIDAY! Yay. In my pledge to keep the Flapjack Friday Faves comin’, here’s the latest… I am fortunate in the fact my kids love to read. Alexandre Dumas to John Green. Dostoyevsky to Veronica Roth. And lots in between. So it saddens me that perhaps not as many young people are reading anymore: … More Flapjack Friday Faves [05.16]
I enjoy reading but am having a hard time getting through books this year. I began reading The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt earlier this winter. Because it’s 784 pages long, weighs approximately five pounds, and is a 14 day loan from my library, I only made it halfway through before having to turn it back … More no focus
My daughter and I are magazine people. By that I mean what probably seems obvious. We like magazines. She actually subscribes to Vogue, Elle and Harper’s Bazaar. I check House Beautiful, Martha Stewart Living and an occasional Vegetarian Times out at the library. Today I even picked up an American Craft. It’s not that we … More magazine people
Happy last day of February, the year’s shortest month. And speaking of happy……… I recently created a Spotify playlist. I named it Happy 2. Why 2, you might ask? Well, simply because I already had a Happy. At this point though, some of the songs under Happy do not make me happy. So, I started … More Flapjack Friday Faves [02.28]

I like warm days, sunshine and being outdoors. I don’t enjoy shopping, hustle and bustle or the … More Flapjack Friday Faves [11.15]
TGIF and all that jazz. Hope your November is off to a good start. It is below freezing outside this morning in central Kentucky, which is colder than I prefer. But the weather gods didn’t ask me for input. [No, I do not really believe in nor worship weather gods.] Here’s a few interesting [to … More Flapjack Friday Faves [11.08]
It’s finally November! Despite October being one of my favorite months, I’m really glad it’s over this year. It brought a lot of work. Now I can prep for Thanksgiving, in my opinion, one of the best holidays Here’s my FFF for today. Enjoy and be informed, friends! Do you know what your favorite apple … More Flapjack Friday Faves [11.01]
Happy Friday! Lately, I’ve been on a YA lit kick. That means young adult literature, in case you didn’t know. My husband, daughter and I saw the movie, The Spectacular Now last weekend. It’s based on the book of the same title, which I have yet to read. Pretty good movie, especially relating to the … More Flapjack Friday Faves [10.25]
TGIF. I’m unabashedly glad it’s Friday. How about you? Here are my FFFs for the week. I am not a shameless self promoter. Or maybe I am…. This week I finally [as in it took me 3 years] posted some items on my Etsy store. I wouldn’t mind if you meander over and make a … More Flapjack Friday Faves [10.18]
