2018 Blog All About It

This is a new challenge is created by Herding Cats & Burning Soup 

January's topic is Winter 

I'm not a huge fan of winter. I grew up in Idaho so winter was always frozen cold and snow. I actually hate the snow it's cold wet and it makes traveling harder when you have things to do. Thankfully I live in beautiful California where our weather is chilly down to the 20's on a bad day but most of the time it's light jacket weather. Right now it's 41 with a high of 68 and mid 70's by the end of the week. I can see the shorts coming out in the next few weeks. 
I did have an amazing winter adventure.

I had a great moment's this winter from Squadron Christmas parties to family parties. We attended my husbands Christmas party at the Budweiser brewery they had a lovely jazz band. Lots of good company, food, we had games. 


I baked 4 cheesecakes for the family Christmas Eve party. Another night of good family, food and even games. I do love every chance I can get to bake for the family and this year after 2 cheescakes wasn't enough I baked 4 this year. 

On Christmas day I baked my first Prime Rib. I was a little nervous but everyone said it was very good. My little girl who's super picky even ate it. I did decide that I'm not a huge fan of fatty meat and next year I'm going to start a new tradition for Christmas dinner. We will see how it plays out. 

I decided in 2018 that I would become a wine drinker. I know that sounds kind of weird but everyone I know loves to drink wine and I would like to be able to join in. So far this is my favorite wine that I have tried. I may just be a fan of pink mascotos but I'm going to work my way up to red wine. 
I have lots of blogging, reading, crafty plans for 2018 which happens every winter. I spend a couple months planning and starting off the year with a bang.

Almost a month into 2018 and the winter is quickly turning into spring here. Onto a new year.

Spread The Love Challenge

I found this challenge on instagram thanks to Jennifer 

I'm a huge fan of romance and this list is full of romance genre's I've never read before. As I read a lot of romance I figured this one would be fun. I may not get to read them all but I'm hoping to read at least half of them.

52 - Week Blog Challenge

52 - Week Blog Challenge 
I found this on Pinterest (here) it looks like fun. I'm always looking for new blog related challenges and this has a great list of options. I figure since it's once a week I'll do on the same day of the week kind of like a weekly meme for the year. I'm also going to share on Instagram since I think most of them will require a picture of two and don't forget to follow me (here).

I love this challenge I'm falling behind in lots of series and hoping if I have a goal of reading at least one a month that maybe I can catch up. 

I'm hoping to finish or be current on at least 12 series by the time it's all said and done. 

Starting list

Beautiful Bastard series by Christina Lauren - I've read the first 2 and have the rest to finish. 

The Dark Queens by Jovee Winters - I've read the first one so far. Currently up to 7 but I have a feeling 8 is just around the corner. 

Accidentals by Dakota Cassidy - I'm 6 into the series and it has lots to catch up on. 

I'm excited and looking forward to this challenge.

2018 Discussion Challenge

Sign up (here
Use the Hashtag #LetsDiscuss2018 

I failed the last few years at this challenge. So I'm hoping 2018 will be my year. This seems to be my weakest part of blogging but hopefully one of these days I'll be better at it.  

I'm doing level 2 Creative Conversationalist because I'm going to ease my way into it. 
My goal is to do at least one a month but secretly I'm hoping one a week but I'm going to plan for 12 so that way if I don't get one every week I won't be disappointed.

I plan to track them here. I need to make a list of ideas that I want to chat about.
