I hurt my shoulder so I wasn't able to help dig us out from the latest snow. Snowblower broken + 300 feet of gravel to reach the road means a lot of work!

So I made the boys and the husband gourmet (real) hot chocolate as a reward when they came inside. Milk, semi-sweet chocolate chips, a little vanilla, some marshmallows, whipped cream, and a few chocolate chips on top.

I'm glad I didn't burn it since I was also making the newly-17-year-old a mint Oreo fudge cake with marshmallow swirls!!

Ready to dive into fantasy with unique settings and imaginative plots that are more than a typical quest? Befriend main characters who aren't the classic heroes/heroines of fantasy with the 28 incredible books in this collection (including my #books Between Starfalls and Windward).

While we love the classics, it's also amazing to go off the beaten track.

All set up for my first solo con! It’s very cool that Puff the Foggy Dragon puffs smoke all around Windward.

#QuadCon

Gearing up for another con, and I have decided to lean in to the DRAGONS (because you can't have too many, right?).

I found this absolutely delightful model from IK3D (https://thangs.com/designer/IK3D) and it was a super easy, super detailed print (even if it took 2 days!)

My amazing husband is going to try to put a mini fog machine inside this guy so that he puffs smoke. Isn't he awesome?

I've named him Draig Lliw, and he looks incredible on our geek shelf!
