“Guy’s Ranch Kitchen” Review
My mom is a big fan of Food Network, so I often come home to find her watching random cooking shows with recipes that she'll never eat half of. From Chopped to BBQ Brawl, we've seen it all! She also enjoys the individual chefs' series, but there's something about the competitive nature of the reality shows that we both really enjoy. It's one of our guilty pleasures to watch Food Network until 2 AM on the weekends... 🤫

When the Whole World Changed
My summers are always the same. I start with a yell as I run down the stairs, slip out of my shoes, and jump into the lake. The sun-heated water the first sign of summer. The feeling of love, of fun, of promise. A way to know that all is okay and that the summers of freedom are endless.

Leaving It Behind
As a teen, you did this once before. You traveled and left it behind, but now, at thirty, it seems somehow different, yet the same. It's the second first time that you feel so distorted. You have changed, but the feelings haven't. But you're going to find out how to do it again. You're going to leave it all behind. The fear and anxiety will not own you this time, right?

Memories Aren’t Always Real
As the dust settles around me, I'm drawn back into the memories of what had been. The memories fly past in a whirl of emotions. I can't seem to stop them as they quickly blur through my mind. All those times when I needed your love and you gladly gave it.

"Temptress" by Kristen Barenthaler
Grab a copy here! Write a Goodreads review here! When you tell a teenage girl in the early 2010s to write a supernatural story, she's of course going to write a vampire romance right? I really didn't have any other choice.

"Undercover Pregnancy" by Kristen Barenthaler
Grab a copy here! Rate on Goodreads here! I thought I was being so cheeky and rebellious writing this one! But I was just a silly teen who wanted to showcase her creativity. There are some adult themes, but none are related in a graphic or intense way.
