I started this blog with one daughter, kept it up with the other, to spend time together doing something we enjoyed.
However, things change and people evolve. My daughters are older, busier, and not as interested in writing.
From now on this blog will be mostly mom with occasional contributions from my daughters and maybe even my husband.
Nothing else will change. We'll still focus on sharing fun places to go, fun things to do, and more, and we would  still love to hear your views too

Giveaway: Win a copy of Whack Job: A History of Axe Murder in the Sparkle Time Giveaway Hop!


Welcome to the Sparkle Time Giveaway Hop

hosted by Mama the Fox and Mom Does Reviews

Despite the more recent explosion of lurid interest in true crime, true crime is not a new phenomenon. There have been sensationally shocking crimes that have captured the public's attention throughout time immemorial. Rachel McCarthy James's new book, Whack Job: A History of Axe Murder, focuses particularly on the axe as a method of crime. In this fascinating book, she not only traces the history of such crimes, delving deeply into specific examples along the way, but she also discusses the evolution of the axe's role in daily life and what made it a suitable and/or convenient weapon of choice at various times throughout history. For more about this book, see our previous post Tips for Tuesday - Books: Whack Job: A History of Axes Murder, Enter to win a copy below:

      I'm not familiar with that case unless you are referring to the Black Dahlia case, but thanks for visiting Says Me Says Mom and your comment.
