We've made it to the end of another month and there are only two more more left to go in 2023! My goal of ready twenty three books throughout the year is a bit laughable now, although when I sat down to think about the new year, I had no idea how much reading would be my go-to. The next two months will be busy with the holidays and I don't envision huge book hauls for November or December, but we will see when we get there! Until then, I read two books each in two series that I really ... continue reading...

Boo at the Zoo: A Frozen Family Costume
The Mayberry Five is back at it with a new family costume this Halloween - and you'll never guess who it is!! (Did that sound like Youtube clickbate or what?! ;) ) We've talked about being Frozen for years but it wasn't until this year that we Let it Go and went Into the Unknown.

Which was confirmed a couple years later when he won a prize ... continue reading...
Halloween Homemade PlayDough

September Booklist
September has already come and gone, can you believe it? Thankfully I read Anne of Green Gables this month for the first time so I can quote all the Anne October lines without feeling like a fake - "I'm so glad we live in a world with Octobers!!" For most of the month I found myself in the 1800's and I didn't mind it one bit, in fact, those were all my favorite ones! The three more modern storylines were not my cup of tea this time around - maybe I should have stuck with a good thing ;) A ... continue reading...
Breckenridge on Film
Remember when we got into film last year? I've been meaning to document it more here but really it is more Bruce's thing than my thing and I've been busy with three kids. Although, we've had some recent developments over here in the film world - a medium format camera addition & Bruce developing our own film - so I'm sure I'll share more on all that! We took a couple rolls of film on this trip but unfortunately our Ilford HP5 400 didn't turn out which is just one of the things that can ... continue reading...
