Wednesday Weekly Blog Challenge - Overused Character Stereotypes

Wednesday Weekly Blog Challenge – Overused Character Stereotypes

Helpless Female/Damsel in Distress – while I understand why it is used, it is also overdone a lot – as is a Strong Female lead which can actually cause the opposite effect of what it is trying to do. But the helpless female/damsel in distress is clearly overused – especially in old literature and movies – and is annoying because most woman are not stupid enough to fall into the traps the damsel…

Top Ten Tuesday - Thankful Freebie

Top Ten Tuesday – Thankful Freebie

Today’s topic for Top Ten Tuesday is Thankful Freebie. I sometimes get a little flustered with the freebie topics because than I have to come up with something on my own. So, for the first time in a long time, I read other’s answers to this topic to get some direction on where I wanted to go with my list today. (I usually read them after I have written mine because we are given direction with…

Music Monday

Because I feel like sharing some music today and remember when Music Monday was a thing in blogging (am I showing my age now?). Also I missed Sunday (that’s two so far) in this madness of blogging everyday and I’m not overly stressed about it like I have been before during NaBloPoMo. PS the genres here are all over the place kind of like my mind but I like it that way.

Let's Pretend Is Actually What Matters?

Let’s Pretend Is Actually What Matters?

A few years back, I was listening to CBC Radio, and the guest on was speaking about unstructured play. His point was on how today we have children who don’t necessarily have the tools that equip them for today’s world. Unstructured play? What is that? Unstructured play*,†  happens when children follow their instincts, ideas, and interests without an imposed outcome. It may include challenging…

Fourteen

That is currently the number of posts I have in drafts folder on this blog. ·        Fourteen. Of course, one of those is a list of possible blog topics to write about. And there are at least twenty different topics listed there as possibilities. ·        Fourteen. Seems like such a small number in the scheme of things. ·        Fourteen. Three of them should be on my devotional blog. ·…

Of The Absence And Longing For It, I say

Of The Absence And Longing For It, I say

Life comes at you quickly. Sure. However, it also creeps along, molecule by molecule, seeps in quietly unbeknownst to you. Sometimes, before you know it, life has sucked your creative energy dry, and left you wordless. The spark sparks up every now and again, but is snuffed out by ‘the life‘. By the slow creep of blah. By too much solitude. By a myriad of chaos monsters on the take. By the…

11/15 - Top Ten Tuesday - Favorite "Aww" Moments In Books

11/15 – Top Ten Tuesday – Favorite “Aww” Moments In Books

Today’s topic for Top Ten Tuesday is Favorite “Aww” Moments In Books (Share those sweet/cute moments in books that give you warm fuzzies.). Not gonna lie, this one took me a moment. I have read a lot of books that I know I love but it’s been a while since I read them so the exact part of the book when that “Aww” moment happened isn’t necessarily fresh in my brain. But I was able to pull them up.…

Every year in November, there is a challenge for bloggers known as National Blog Posting Month (NaBloPoMo). I try to participate every year but don’t always live up to the challenge. Posting daily can be stressful and sometimes feels forced. A few years ago, I was introduced to NanoPoblano which is a similar challenge but a little less rigid. So, I try to participate in both. This year I found a…

All It Takes Is A Little Organization

All It Takes Is A Little Organization

My washer has been having some issues so yesterday my husband and son took it apart and got it all situated for me. It wasn’t draining correctly so we cleaned out some clogs. That is what happens when you have a dog that sheds massive amounts of hair; and three people living in your household with long hair, drains tend to get clogged. In the process we cleaned out and organized the laundry room…
