Happy Wednesday,

Oh man, I am behind again. It’s been a busy few weeks. My birthday came and we had a small celebration at a local Italian restaurant. Sadly, the service wasn’t great, but at least the food was good. Then it was Jackson’s birthday. He also chose Italian and this time we went to Olive Garden. The food wasn’t as good but the service was amazing.

This last weekend, Kayleigh performed in Alice in Wonderland. She did a great job. It was so fun watching her grow and do more facial expressions than she used to. I can’t wait until she gets a little older and starts getting solos because she has a beautiful voice. I’m hoping she’ll do the next play but she also wants to do basketball, which will conflict a bit.

Jackson’s basketball season ended last night with a nail-biter of a game. 29-28, but it was a nice win for their final game.

Today was supposed to be their Christmas concert at school, but a massive wind storm blew down a bunch of power lines last night and school was canceled. It was nice to get to sleep in, do some cleaning, and wrap some presents. Maybe I’ll even get a few words on the story tonight.

Friday starts our winter break and shortly after, we’re heading to Texas to see my family and celebrate Christmas with them, so it’s definitely going to be a busy few weeks, but a nice break from school.

I hope you’re enjoying December and maybe binging on some Hallmark movies or books. If you need some good ones, be sure to check out the sales below.

Looks good

I helped all my roommates find love. Now they want revenge.

When my besties present me with a plan to find the man of my dreams, I pass. Easily. Until my recent ex of five years very publicly announces his engagement to someone he just met. If dating shows him I’m happy and thriving, I’m all in…

Sounds fun

Sedona Reeves’s life as a singer has a dark side: someone out there wants her silenced. Mac Durham is hired to protect her, but the closer he gets to uncovering the threat, the deadlier it becomes. With danger closing in, Mac must stay one step ahead to protect the woman he realizes he can’t live without…

Yes please

She said yes to a fake relationship.
She didn’t expect to fall for the wrong brother.

Piper’s had a crush on her coworker for three years. So when he asks her to join him on his family’s Christmas holiday as his fake girlfriend, she can’t turn down the opportunity to show him how good they’d be together for real. There’s just one tiny problem…

Sounds great

When I asked Santa for a Christmas miracle, dropping my ex’s hunky brother on my doorstep wasn’t exactly what I had in mind.

After my last breakup, I swore off dating military men once and for all.

So when a dreamy K-9 handler for the U.S. Army came into my clinic with an injured dog and bedroom eyes, you better believe I was sending him packing as soon as my work was done.

It’s not like I planned we’d get stuck together…

Yes please
