This post was inspired by the title of a post by Elaine Owens: “Would You Rather . . . .” I decided it would be fun to play a few Pride and Prejudice games! I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed trying to come up with the questions, scenarios, etc. Would You Rather… Read the full blog post …
I thought I would touch upon five characters that each have a presence which is felt despite the fact that they are deceased. In novels, we often get caught up in the living characters who speak and act, but in Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen created such depth in her novel that there are numerous… Read the full blog post …
With my darling kiddos sucking out much of my energy and brainpower, I decided I would just search for some good Pride and Prejudice funnies to share. After all, Jane Austen’s works have quite humorous lines in them, so why not fall in line with that humor? The best things I saw weren’t the simple Q… Read the full blog post …
I decided it would be fun to do a top ten list featuring some of the best moments in Pride and Prejudice. Seeing as the novel has so many great moments, it was a bit hard to limit myself to ten, but I forced myself to do so! I’ve included a snippet from the book for… Read the full blog post …
My week’s been pretty stressful, with my 17-year-old dog getting chewed up by a dog more than ten times his size. His front legs were paralyzed, but one of them seems at least somewhat usable now, so we are hoping he will continue to get better to where he can at least get around. I… Read the full blog post …

As this was my first time making a crossword puzzle, I found it to be a little difficult. I thought it would be easy! You can find it below: I hope this works for… Read the full blog post …
I thought I’d do something a little bit different. I’m sure you have seen this sort of thing numerous times, but I wanted to do Pride and Prejudice bits using social media! I wanted to do several more than this, but it took a surprising amount of time, so please forgive me! Also, I made these… Read the full blog post …
Happy holidays, folks! Above you can see the adorable reason why it is hard for me to get anything done lately. (Hahah. Well, one of the reasons anyway!) In pondering what to focus on for my December blog post, I naturally gravitated toward Christmas. Once known as “Christ’s Mass,” Christmas has certainly evolved into something… Read the full blog post …
As you know, this tends to be an incredibly busy time of the year. Considering you have Halloween, then Thanksgiving, and then Christmas, it’s a wonder anyone can do anything other than run around squawking like a chicken with its head cut off. (Or is that just how I feel at this time of year?… Read the full blog post …
” . . . When [Jane] was only fifteen, there was a man at my brother Gardiner’s in town so much in love with her that my sister-in-law was sure he would make her an offer before we came away. But, however, he did not. Perhaps he thought her too young. However, he wrote… Read the full blog post …
I think we are all quite aware that Austen’s writing is of a rather formal sort. Based on her writing style and on how people of the upper classes spoke, that means that sometimes, the conversation seems quite stilted to our modern eyes.

Well, I had my baby five weeks early, but he is a real trooper! He didn’t have to spend any time in NICU and has been doing great. (Now, if he would only let me sleep at night instead of forcing me to be a vampire who sleeps during the day! Ha!) Naturally, any time… Read the full blog post …
