Friday night was always our pizza and family TV night. We would order a pizza, place our tray tables in front of the television, and queue up our favorite kid’s shows, like Rugrats, Rocco’s Modern Life, or Doug. It was so much fun just to spend time together like that after a busy week at work and school. We still keep some of those traditions alive by using our special pizza plates when we are getting together for a casual Friday! How about you? What’s one of your favorite Friday or family rituals?
We love Williamsburg, Virginia!
My family used to go to Williamsburg, Virginia pretty often. My mom was big on us knowing America’s history because she believed that was essential for us to be good citizens, especially since were truly blessed to be able to immigrate to the U.S. This Nation gave my family so much and for that, I am eternally grateful. Like my mom, I wanted my daughter to know American history and the gift that is America so we also have done a number of trips to Williamsburg and other historic places. But who says you can’t have some fun along the way although truth be told, I was worried that our daughter might not let us out of the stock! LOL! Have you been to Williamsburg or another historic location? Share your fav history place!
THANK YOU for your support
THANK YOU to all for your support for Cold Case Reopened! Thanks to you I’ve been offered a four-book contract for Harlequin Intrigue and I’m so excited! Especially since you’ll get to see more of Jackson Whitaker’s Miami cousins Sophie and Robbie and get to meet the rest of the family behind the Liberty Agency. I can’t wait to write that series for you. Today and I’m sharing one of the reviews for you from Cloth Diapering Mama who was kind enough to leave this review: “This is a fast moving suspense romance that was so engrossing. I love the characters in this book…” Reviews really do help authors so if you like a book, please take a moment to leave a review. It’s one of the greatest gifts you can give your fav authors!
What do you do to avoid dangerous burnout?
Burnout. There’s an old Chinese proverb that says “Choose a job you love and you will never have to work a day in your life.” But even if you love what you’re doing, it can feel like too much sometimes. Too many pages to write, too many e-mails to check, too many things to do! It can all become too much and to avoid reaching the point of burnout, I set aside time to read, create something, or garden. Gardening is actually one of my favorite ways to unwind and there are studies that show that getting your hands in the soil can help with depression! Why? Gardening helps release serotonin thanks to bacteria in the soil. Amazing right? But how about you? What do you do to avoid burnout?
Perfect Superman Tyler Hoechlin Caridad’s Man Crush
I haven’t done a Man Crush Monday in a long time and I figured it was well past time to share this hottie with you again! I just love Tyler Hoechlin and I hope you do as well. Tyler has been in favorites like Seventh Heaven and Teen Wolf and is now playing Superman on the new Superman and Lois. Tyler is the perfect Superman and I love the concept of having Lois and Superman deal with real-life dilemmas as the parents of teenaged sons. You can check out Superman and Lois on the CW and GOOD NEWS — It’s already been renewed for a second season!
I could also totally imagine Tyler as the hero in one of my romance novels! Maybe Southern Vampire Ryder Latimer from The Calling is Reborn vampire novel series. What do you think?
Happy Easter from Caridad!
Wishing all who celebrate a very Happy Easter! Hope you have a fabulous day!
The Best Way to Spend a Holiday Weekend
There is no more perfect way to spend a holiday weekend than with family and I know many of you are missing that! I hope you get to see your family and friends soon! With both Passover and Easter coming over the weekend, how are you spending the holiday weekend? For me, it’s definitely with family, namely, my hubby, daughter, and her husband. (Still hard to think of my little baby as married, but yes, she is!) Oops, and Donald. Don’t want to forget our favorite duck.
