How I Did on My New Year’s Resolutions in 2018

February 13, 2019 By Jessica Filed Under: My Reading Diary Leave a Comment

Here’s the resolutions I set for 2018.  I highlighted in Green if I actually accomplished it, Orange if I worked on it, and Red if I didn’t do it. Blog Blog at 6:30 am for an hour each weekday. This started out great but I use this time to work on my bullet journal instead. I'm trying to ... Read More »

Book Review: Cress by Marissa Meyer

February 11, 2019 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review Leave a Comment

Book Review Cress Marissa Meyer

I liked Cress much better than Cinder or Scarlet. In fact, it took me a few years to even finish the series because I didn't like Scarlet very much. I'm so glad I didn't quit the Lunar Chronicles series! My favorite thing about this series has been the subtle tie-ins to the fairy tales. In ... Read More »

Aurora at Evermore Park: Part 3 – Girl’s Night Out

January 25, 2019 By Jessica Filed Under: My Reading Diary 2 Comments

Even though I went to Evermore Park the day before our girl's night out, I had a vastly different experience despite the events in the park being largely the same. That's the beauty of Evermore Park - it will be unique to you every time you visit. If you would like to read the other ... Read More »

Aurora at Evermore Park: Part 2 – New Year’s Eve Party and Decoding Secret Messages

January 19, 2019 By Jessica Filed Under: My Reading Diary 2 Comments

I've been to Evermore Park a total of 8 times, 5 of them just in the Aurora season. A big part of the experience for me is actually sitting down and blogging about what I did. It took me a while to figure out why. As I was leaving the park the last time I ... Read More »

Aurora at Evermore Park: Part 1 – Christmas Magic with Goblins and Dragons

January 16, 2019 By Jessica Filed Under: My Reading Diary 2 Comments

Evermore Aurora

My first visit to Evermore Park during the Aurora season was in December, before Christmas. We went as a family and even though it turned into family fight night, we still had fun. But I think from now on I'll just go on one-on-one outings with my kids. For those of you who don't know ... Read More »
