    Books For You Ears – Audio Book Recommendations!

    Ah, audio books. How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. Truth be told, almost 1/3 of the books that I finish every month are audio books.

I’m here to share some of that knowledge with…

    Oh look, it’s July! Am I writing this while snacking on hot dogs and hamburgers? Yes, yes I am. Am I already woefully behind because it’s the 4th, and the month has already kicked off in a massive way? Yes, yes I am. June flew by, my birthday has come and gone, and I feel like I’m scrambling.  I always hit a mid-year slump when it comes to the blog. Coming up with new content every week is tricky stuff. Especially when you’ve been doing it for 7 years. I shouldn’t complain though, because the fact remains that I love…
