Potts N Paints is the perfect place to go to spend some time with your family or best friends. We ended up here because my search for a unique Christmas gift for one of my daughters led me to their pottery wheel lesson. I purchased it way back in the fall and we just got …

The Fishermen

by Hannahupdated on March 7, 2023March 7, 2023Leave a Comment on The Fishermen

Tangled in the Net I read this book quickly, finishing it in one weekend. The language is not complex. It’s a fast read and would be described as an easy one, if the content wasn’t so heavy. Set in Nigeria, the author Chigozie Obioma strings a story called The Fishermen that’s hard to walk away …

I mentioned Barbara Walters to a class of high school students once and they had no idea who I was talking about. I couldn’t believe it! How could anyone not know such an incredibly famous icon of American journalism? She was humble, talented, and she became a part of the homes that turned on the …

Is Buying an Elf Kit a Good Idea?

by Hannahupdated on December 24, 2022December 24, 2022Leave a Comment on Is Buying an Elf Kit a Good Idea?

Why Not? Is buying an elf kit a good idea? For the first time ever, this year I bought one. An ad popped up on Facebook and it looked fun and I was tired so why not? For starters, even with a discount, I felt the cost was too high. The original price was $99.00. …
