I haven’t been writing… …because I have been reading! Non-stop. I have not been this addicted to a series since my Pillars of the Earth spree a while back.

Over the past several weeks she has delved into and become addicted to reading novels about Amish communities.

Watch and love. hahaha Shop Girl*

As you know, I am a lover of music. I recently discovered a new group that has absolutely stolen my heart in every way possible.

They rock my world. I hope I’m this cool when I get older. :) Shop Girl*
