Forty Years Later

Beth Ann Chiles/ Family, Writing/ 7 Comments/ 170

. That is one of my all time favorite pictures. Micah at about a day old just chilling in his bassinet in the hospital. He slept like that often and I think that is how he was all curled up inside of me and it Continue reading →

No Lid? No Worries on Teapot Tuesday

Beth Ann Chiles/ Tea and Teapots/ 39 Comments/ 582

A repost from a few years back. The shop I got this at is now gone and the owner has moved to another spot but it is still a fun teapot to use for some different uses. Enjoy. Lots of teapots lose their lids along Continue reading →

Dreams DO Come True

Beth Ann Chiles/ North Carolina, Writing/ 13 Comments/ 175

Straight from the Gram

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 8 Comments/ 161

Some of you may have Instagram accounts and I must admit that I get pulled into all of the Instagram silliness on occasion. It is a nice diversion and when Chris hears me laughing from the next room he naturally assumes I am looking at Continue reading →

It’s time for strawberries and what better way to honor this time of year than to feature a strawberry themed teapot that I found in Raleigh a few years ago. It’s the perfect teapot for this time of year and I love the set I Continue reading →

The Good Girl
by Mary Kubica
I loved this book! It had my interest from the very first page and was my "airplane" book on a recent trip. Author Mary Kubica created believable and interesting characters that the reader learned to identify with and care about. Mi...

All the Light We Cannot See
by Anthony Doerr
This is quite a book! I had it recommended to me by several people and while I thought it might be a little dark and depressing it made me have a better understanding of what life in this time period was like. The strength of the huma...

Another great book by John Green. I have become a huge fan of John Green since my reading of A Fault in our Stars and this book was another that did not disappoint me at all. It was a story of a child prodigy, a lot of anagrams, and a b...
