Before we start, I have to apologize. This was supposed to be a vlog, I said it was going to be a vlog, it WAS going to be a vlog. *sniffs* Unfortunately, there was an oversight on my part. I thought I could use a really lousy editing program to cut edit my video. Well, it took…
Best Reads Of 2018 – 3rd and 4th Quarter
I originally wasn’t going to do this post. I was so behind and would be posting this so late . . . well, it would be pretty lame. However, one of my followers said on a recent survey that they would like to see more about the books I’ve been reading lately, so I changed my mind. I MUST MAKE…
January in a Nutshell
This might possibly be one of the shortest Nutshells I have ever written because so little happened in January. But it wasn’t by choice. Starting around New Year’s Day, I had a bug so nasty I dubbed it Zurg. That way, when the sickness left I could quote Toy Story. *grins* Not sure what it was, but…
The Children’s Giveaway
I have always been drawn to children. If friends ever came over, it wouldn’t be long before I was on the floor with the younger ones. I often walk into the children’s section of a library or bookstore and page through the books. Sometimes I’ll just sit in the corner and watch the children play or talk. It’s such…
The Live Without You Blog Tour
I have some exciting news for you today, people! My honorary lil’ sister, Sarah Grace Grzy, is published her first book and I am literally going – I’m always proud of my Sarah Grace, no matter what she’s doing, but today I’m especially excited for her and so happy I could participate in her very first book blog…
The Reverse Bucket List
It’s January! This is usually the month where everybody posts a recap of their previous year and talks about their goals for the upcoming year. Yes, you read that right. I’m not going to do a recap of 2018 (if you want to know what happened to me in 2018, read over all my old posts!) …

I missed blogging and I missed YOU so much! *gathers everybody into a group hug and squeezes and squeezes* Secondly, I’m really sorry this December in a Nutshell post is so ridiculously late. I got…
Hope For The Holidays – A Short Story
WELL, LOOK WHO LIED ABOUT LEAVING YOU. *looks at self in mirror* What is going on, Alli? You just heard the call of the limelight and couldn’t stay away? You simply couldn’t bear the pain you were inflicting on your followers by leaving them behind on a hiatus? Okay, so what HAPPENED is that my…
Holiday Hiatus & a Gift for You!
PLAY THE MUSIC: this is Mandatory – millions of screaming monkeys will descend upon you if you don’t hit play. I’ve decided to take some time off from blogging to enjoy the holidays more thoroughly with my family, like I normally do every year at this time. I’m going to miss you guys, but I’m…
10 Things I Want For Xmas . . . But Probably Won’t Get. # 3
The title is pretty self-explanatory. Oh, I wanted more run-of-the-mill things for Christmas – books, music . . . that kind of thing. But I have these deep longings for something else for Christmas (things that very likely won’t come to pass) but are still lots of fun to think about. Thus, I have compiled a list for the third…
