My Advice for Millennials

Beth Ann Chiles/ Thoughts, Writing/ 33 Comments/ 5201

What is a millennial?  Most sources agree that a millennial is someone who is born between the early 1980’s and the early 2000’s.  Which means that Chris and I are parents to two of those types.  So that makes me an expert, right? It makes Continue reading →

To Caucus They Go – It’s What Iowans Do

Beth Ann Chiles/ Thoughts, Writing/ 16 Comments/ 3289

It’s Caucus time in Iowa.  What does that mean?  It means a lot of my Iowa friends are making visits to hear the various presidential candidates speak.  It means there are a lot of selfies being posted on social media with politicians in them.  It Continue reading →

Beth Ann Chiles/ Photography, Thoughts, Travel/ 9 Comments/ 2865

Old Girls in Low Cotton
by Helen Childress
This short book was one that looked like it would be a fun read. I honestly did not enjoy it all that much---it was a lot of characters bickering and while some of the writing was witty and funny it was not that kind of book that made m...

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...
