Hello :)



Hey ya'll! :) Long time no speak. Well, i have been just super busy, busy, busy. I bet most of ya'll have been the same way. I have more school shopping, haircuts, dry cleaning, house cleaning, and sports registration to do. Ales and Enzo will both be playing soccer. AAAHHH!! My little baby is going to be on a soccer team for the first time. It's a special moment. Ales has been playing for at least four years now. He will also be swimming on Sundays and Tuesdays. It's a nice balance. He loves, loves the water. He has accomplished a level 5 swim rank. That means he can tread water and do freestyle swim for 25 meters.
Okay...enough gloating over my boys. They are great though. :)
So, i see alot of ya'll are reading like crazy. Well, let me give you a recommendation or two---if ya'll have time.


By Lee Gutkind


This book is a creative nonfiction book. Very easy read and smart. WARNING: this book can be a tear jerker to some.

By Gregory Maguire

This book is one of the best reads i have had. It is a retold version of the 'Wizard of Oz' by L. Frank Baum. It tells of the birth, teenage years, and adult life of the wicked witch of the west. It is so great. I am such a fan of Elphaba (a.k.a. Wicked Witch of the West).
