Birthday Traditions

Beth Ann Chiles/ Family, Life stories, Writing/ 6 Comments/ 268

My mom spoiled me for birthdays. She always made a big deal out of them growing up and I know I have shared that before. Growing up in a family with 4 kids we did not get a big party every year but instead every Continue reading →

Photographs and Memories

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 20 Comments/ 1975

I have been going through old photographs recently and it has been a blast from the past. My siblings and I are lucky enough to have had all of my daddy’s slides converted to digital files so that we can look at them and have Continue reading →

The Perfect imperfect Nativity

Beth Ann Chiles/ Holiday, Writing/ 18 Comments/ 2158

Growing up in a minister’s family was a good experience for me.  I have heard many bemoan the fact that they were preacher’s kids but not me.  I loved it.  I loved the church potlucks, the parade of people that passed through the parsonage doors, Continue reading →

I posted this picture of mush on Facebook the other day because you know–that is what I do.  Post pictures of food. Along with pictures of cats and beaches.  But this picture struck a chord with some of my followers. You see a lot of Continue reading →

You Call It Juglans Cinerea—-I Call it Agony

Beth Ann Chiles/ Blog, Writing/ 43 Comments/ 4074

A simple object triggered a powerful memory this week. Memories are pretty amazing things and even though I might have exaggerated the horridness of mine a little bit today it is still a memory from my childhood. What about you? Do you have any vivid memories ? Continue reading →

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

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...

An Abundance of Katherines
by John Green
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...
