Links and Things

Reading is one of the first things that I actively seek when I have some down time. That usually is between the hours of 11pm and 2am because if I try to stop and read during the day there is usually so much chaos going around that I end up reading the same page 10 times before I quit so it is pointless.

1. I downloaded the Kindle app to my 11 year olds iPad to cut down on the amount of book in the house. Honestly tons of books is a good thing but when they are taking over and you have no place to put them then reading an e-book sometimes is a better option (unless of course your truly love the book and want a physical copy). When I downloaded the app I warned her not to make any purchases without permission because it’s pretty easy to buy something with one-click. I did all that before bed, downloaded her the first book in the Chronicles of Prydain series and then settled down in to bed myself. Not 15 minutes later I get an email notification thanking me for signing up for Kindle Unlimited. So I went in the room where she said it “accidentally” happened. Since you get a free month trial I thought I might as well give it a shot so I searched out a book that was recommended based on my interests to see if it was available and it was so I “borrowed” it. I’m almost done and if you like historical fiction, specifically the medieval Mystery genre than I recommend the book The Colour of Poison: A Sebastian Foxley Medieval Mystery by Toni Mount. I am really enjoying it. Continue Reading

Life Lately

#threepiobuddha #threeepio #modilicious
My husband works a lot. Not just a lot but really long hours each day sometimes up to 80+ hours a week. So to say we don’t get a lot of family time is an understatement. What we always find time to do as a family is something that we all enjoy immensely, ComiCon or FanExpo. These each hit Toronto once a year usually in March and then again around Labour Day weekend. My kids love to get dressed up so we let them go all out in their own sort of Cosplay way and make a day of it. Sometimes there are people that they want a photo-op with sometimes there isn’t so we just go wandering around the vendors looking for cool stuff and checking out the amazing costumes. The girls decided to resurrect their Halloween costumes this year so Merle was Cruella de Vil and Roo was a Ravenclaw student dress in her Harry Potter garb (go figure). Continue Reading
