Back to the grind...

I am back to the grind today... Monday our office was closed for MLK day. It was great to have a long weekend, even though I spent the whole day Saturday working with my family. My sister snapped a picture of the sunset on our drive down to our parents.
My family is very self sufficient when it comes to food. My grandpa raises cattle, so we butcher cattle each year for our families to split. I couldn't tell you the last time I bought beef from the grocery store. Needless to say I am still sore from standing for 8 hours cutting meat!

 The Hubby and I are going to have a super busy week. We have ball games Tuesday-Saturday. We took the opportunity last night to have a date night to see the movie American Sniper. 
It was a great movie. I could never imagine being in a war zone and what every solider goes through on a daily basis. I am thankful to those who serve our country. 

 The Hubby and I tackled making homemade flour tortillas for tacos last night. I got the recipe from Brown Eyed Baker. 

They were really easy and good. The Hubby was in charge of browning them, while I rolled them out. 

 The Hubby and I have been playing the MyVEGAS app. It's a free app to play and you earn loyalty coins and points to use on real life purchases in Las Vegas. The Hubby and I got 3rd row seats to see Zumanity in March. That is a Cirque du Soleil show at the New York, New York. 

 We are super excited. We are hoping to get another show with our remaining loyalty points, but we can't decide what we want it to be yet. Even Bella likes to watch us play!

 We have a busy week ahead! I am looking forward to February when basketball is over and we get some free time back!

 Until next time,

 Kara

Book & Movie Review- Molly's Game

Joe and I recently read the book Molly's Game. We decided we would read the book while we waited for the movie to come out on DVD. photo credit link It is hard to believe it was a true story and just not made up. I am not one who likes biographies or reading to "learn." I like a good dramatic up and down story and this fits into that category. It's an action packed book about poker, greed, and knowing who to trust.  Molly Bloom- photo credit link The book details Molly Bloom's rise to run a secret celebrity rich poker game in back rooms and fancy hotels. The book drops some big names that many will recognize from many movies we watch on the big screen. IMDb's description of the movie is, "The true story of Molly Bloom, an Olympic-class skier, who ran the world's most exclusive high-stakes poker game and became an FBI target." photo credit link I would highly recommend reading the book first, because the movie does not use names ...

Book Recommendations for October

Here are some recent books that I enjoyed. Mythos Academy Series- by Jennifer Estep I really enjoyed reading this young adult series. It incorporates action, adventure, romance, mythology, and mystery all into one high school! It's an easy read that keeps you wanting to know more.  picture source PLUS, it helped me answer a recent mythology Jeopardy question...Can we say invaluable information?!? First Frost is the first book in the series. Here is the description: I am Gwen Frost, and I have a Gypsy gift. It's called psychometry – that's a fancy way of saying that I see images in my head and get flashes of other people's memories off almost everything I touch, even guys. My gift makes me kind of nosy. Okay, okay, maybe a lot nosy—to the point of obsession sometimes. I want to know everything about everyone around me. But even I don't want to know the secrets my friend Paige is hiding or the terrible loss that will send me to a new school – Mythos Ac...

Book Recommendations for December!

I know, I know....it's been too long! But I am back with some book recommendations for that book lover in your life (just in time for Christmas)! I absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to read. I just think it's so important to start kids at a small age of loving to read. I have a tub of all my childhood books. Many of them are from my great-grandma. She would get me a new book for my birthday, Christmas or special occasion. Many kids today are always on their phone and need a quick fix for their attention spans. However, a kid that reads can spend countless hours in fantasy lands, learning a new hobby, or having an adventure! For the adult book fans, I have some new books that I really enjoyed! Fever Series- Darkfever by Karen Marie Moning I started this book and was like where is this going?! But I kept reading and I ended up really enjoying the series.  source I enjoy fantasy books that just keep you guessing and this series really did that! It had mystery, adventure, he...
