Still Standing by Kristen Ashley

I have a love/hate relationship with Kristen Ashley's books. I've been reading her stuff since 2012. Some of them, I have absolutely LOVED - The Gamble, I am looking at you. Some I have quit reading without even making it to the half way point - the Honey series *shivers* just NO. I have felt that the last few books I have read/attempted to read by her just haven't been in her style. Kristen Ashley is wordy and descriptive. Her characters are some times so aggravating, but at the same time you love them. Well, with Still Standing I think she has gone back to that type of writing that her followers all across the world fell in love with.

Yes, Clara was a bit trying at times. She seemed a bit lost, and with good reason. But she had such a good heart. And let's not forget Buck and his alpha-ness. But under that jerk he was sweet and loyal. I loved that he spoke in full sentences - if you are a KA reader, you TOTALLY get that 😂

Anyway, this comes out tomorrow. Grab your copy on Amazon . I really think you will enjoy this. I am looking forward to more from this series. It has lots of possibilities.

If you are a Kristen Ashley fan, let me know which one of her books is your favorite! And if you pick up Still Standing, let me know what you think when you finish it!

Until next time...

Hello October!

Hello friends! It's been a while since I've been on here. I've read a bunch of books, eaten some yummy foods, sewn a lot of quilt blocks and stitched a lot of stitches. I've also had a wonderful vacation to Disney with the WHOLE family! Let me just tell you, it was HOT there. Yes, I know it's Florida and it's supposed to be hot. But ya'll. I'm originally from south Louisiana, I get heat and humidity, but this was overwhelming lol the heat indexes were upper 90s and hit 101. In mid-September. But we still had a marvelous time. We rode all the rides we were aiming for and ate most of the snacks we planned for. And we got in two of our traditions-Boston Lobster Fest and mini-golf! I totally went off any eating plan while there. Mind you, I am not really on an eating plan right now, but I didn't overthink food. If I wanted the fish and chips from the England pub at EPCOT, I ate...

Crafty Round Up for mid-October

Hi friends!! I figured I needed to come share my sewing/stitching/quilting updates with you because it's been a while. So, let's get started... First up is quilty goodness. And it comes with a story. Christmas 2021 I bought myself a block of the month subscription from Fig Tree Fabrics for her Manchester by the Sea Mystery BOM program. If you are not familiar with Joanna and Fig Tree Fabrics, go check her out. Her stuff is GORGEOUS!!! I've bought her fabric forever for clothes for the girls. Joanna does the block of the month programs and sends out fabric and patterns each month and you end up with a beautiful sampler quilt. Manchester by the Sea was scheduled for April 2022 thru March 2023. I got a beautiful envelope of fabric and instructions to make blocks each of those months and did not touch a one of them until we came back from Disney last month. I'm a member of her BOM group on Facebook and have seen the fin...

Long Time No See

Hi there! It's been a hot minute since I've visited with you. Let me catch you up on what's been going on. I think the last time I was here was back in October. That would totally make sense because I got a new full time job at the end of October that had me working 50 hours a week. With all that work going on I had little time for anything else. Good news (or bad, depending on your point of view) is that the job is over and I am back to being a stay at home wife again. There will be plenty of time to catch up on cross stitch and quilting. My needles will be happy since my poor sewing machine has not been touched since November! Once again, I am back to tracking food. I gained back 10 pounds while working. My body hurts again and I don't want to ache. So, I am taking it day by day. Positive thinking. Good food choices. I got this. The holidays came and went. All the girls are doing good....

Until Next Time...
