They say that things just cannot grow beneath the winter snow

"Snowbound" by Janice Kay Johnson was such a disappointment. I picked it up from Amazon.com since they had it free if you had an iPod or a Kindle and it was on the top of the list for supposedly being so good. But ehhh. =0P

It's about a teacher who is driving back (in a snowstorm) from an out-of-town event with a group of her students (8 teens). They decided to take the quickest route back ... not knowing that that highway closes in the winter. Thankfully the route they took has a lodge on it. The owner of this lodge is a gentleman who just got discharged from the military, and is dealing with his own set of problems. During the teacher (and her group's) 3 night stay at the lodge waiting for the storm to let-up, the teacher and the owner build a connection ..... and they see if they can make it work afterwords.

I mean the setting was good and so was the plot/point of the story. But if I wanted to read about war scenes then I would have picked up a nonfiction or history type of book, not a romance. And even though the story was a short one, for how she dragged it out making so everyone was so indecisive .... I was just happy to see it end.

2 out of 5 stars.

Busy as a Beaver

Hello everyone,

I know I should have at least 3 new videos up by now but I have gotten busy again.

The Advertising/Marketing Co-Op Campaign that the Elizabeth City Area Convention & Visitors Bureau (at my other job) has started up the beginning of this month. So, I have been busy trying to get things in order for the almost 30 videos I'll be creating for that. I have currently been working on the video for that office as the "Elizabeth City" video ... and after a few more changes you should be able to see what it looks like.

Also, I got my first job recently!! I'm going to be taking photography for a wedding happening on August 8, 2008. And the bride is being very sweet in allowing me to use the photography taking and making a video out of it. So, in about another month or so you'll be able to see that.

More things to come soon!!

Take care, Jess

Day 2 - Elves on the shelves have arrived! ~ 25 Days of Christmas from @fromjesstoyouVA | #Bloggerstribe #Blogmas #BookBlogger

Welcome to Jess' 25 Days of Christmas ~ Day 2

Well I had soo many plans today ... but it is/was Cyber Monday so I did last minute online shopping, then I found out that an Christmas present order that had arrived was wrong so I had to fix it (it took them 2 hours), then I dealt with my kids and stuff for my clients that I do VA work for .... but what really through me off was finding out early this morning that my head cold has gotten worse. 😷 I'm coughing up "crud" and will definitely be going to see my doctor tomorrow since the sudafed I've been taking hasn't been working. 😝 Thankfully I don't have a fever. YAY! 👏

Anywho ... one major event was that ...

Christmas Lights in Staten Island, New York | Throwback Thursday #Videos

In December 2015 my family and I lived in Staten Island, New York. One thing I LOVED about living there is how much everyone decorated their homes for the holidays ... even for Halloween. So here is a short video of a few of my relatives and I driving, sometimes then walking some others, around Staten Island, New York with videos and photos of the Christmas Decor & Christmas Lights that we had seen. 🎄 💡 Enjoy!

Day 1 - I finished a novel! ~ 25 Days of Christmas from @fromjesstoyouVA | #Bloggerstribe #Blogmas #BookBlogger

This year I am doing my own version of 25 Days of Christmas and we will be following my Santa and penguin countdown ornament calendar that I've had since 2007. I've always found this countdown adorable ... so I'm going to try my best at daily blog posts. 🤞 Hopefully I'll be on top of it for you. 😊 😉

Day 4 - Holiday Songs with Book Recs! ~ 25 Days of Christmas from @fromjesstoyouVA | #Bloggerstribe #Blogmas #BookBlogger

Welcome to Jess' 25 Days of Christmas ~ Day 4

I over worked myself on Dec 4th (yesterday) as with how I wanted to put together this post and it being my weekly When & Where am I Wednesday on top of everything else I planned for today .... I over did it and in turn this post is a little late. Sorry! But I hope you'll enjoy all the parts I included in it!






I personally love listening to holiday music. My kids have asked occasionally throughout the year to listen to their Christmas Music cds before bed. But for the most part we start listening to Christmas music mostly starting around my birthday on November 10th. Typically I enjoy listening to my music on random "shuffle mode" like when I had a 5 disc cd player ... and that still happens now that I constantly use Pandora and its shuffle mode. So here are all the "radio stations" on Pandora that I "shuffle" through:

The three weeks till Christmas won't seem very long if you make time each day for a holiday song.

To go along with this "holiday music" theme I have decided to create a video for you!! It is titled: DECEMBER TBR & Holiday Song Book Recommendations

So below is today's quote and what I had shared yesterday of my Christmas tree ...

My photography has been featured!

Well even if it's a small part, last week my photography (actually the photo to the right) was featured in the Elizabeth City Chamber of Commerce's October Newsletter. And a photo or two, from the same Rose Buddies dedication ceremony event, that I took we're in the Daily Advance's Downtowner on October 12th!!

Just some small stepping stones but I'm proud about them! =0)

Have a great weekend everyone!

Take care, Jess

Day 10 - Jess' Christmas Card to YOU! ~ 25 Days of Christmas from @fromjesstoyouVA | #Bloggerstribe #Blogmas #BookBlogger

Welcome to Jess' 25 Days of Christmas ~ Day 10

Do you like receiving Christmas/Holiday cards? When I was younger I religiously (without actually being religious about it) would send out tons of holiday and Christmas cards to just about everyone I knew yet over the years -- because of trying to be money conscious -- I'm lucky to get out just to those in my immediate family. Therefore, I have created a video holiday card for YOU!! I hope you like it! 🤩

It's good to remember your friends near and far --- a greeting can show them how jolly you are!

IT'S SNOWING!!!!

I don't know about you .... but I am soo excited because it's snowing outside right now! As I may have mentioned before .. for the past 3 1/2 years I have lived in Elizabeth City it has never snowed in November! We usually only get one snow fall a year and that is in January ... during the middle of the night .. when no one gets to see it. But this morning my husband left early for work .. then came back in to wake me up because of the snow. I'm soo happy!! As it definitely makes me feel the holiday spirit in the air!!!! =0)

Here are some pictures from this morning of my dogs (Paige & Surka) and me ....






Have a great day!! I'm gonna go back to playing in the snow!! =0)

Take care, Jess

    2020 100+ Reading Challenge

    Check out my previous challenges :


    So ... with this book list from book number 1 to number 19 Jess (the owner) had a computer malfunction and lost all of her ORIGINAL 2020 book reviews. Thankfully though Jess was hoping to start collecting her 2020 book stats so she had her ratings BUT after the mishap Jess gave up on collecting stats (she felt she already had enough to do). Jess'll try collecting stats again in 2021. Therefore, below is all that Jess has completed and links will be added as Jess goes along and officially posts the reviews that she does have. Thanks for your patience. CLICK HERE to find out more about this catastrophe.

    Here's my (Jess') personal challenge .. or more of a record of how many books I have read in 2020 ::

    The Designer House at Bayside Manor

    This past Monday (Aug. 11th) I volunteered at the Designer House. That place is gorgeous!!! It's a 1850's antebellum plantation home that is a 5,000 square foot house including 18 design areas. Every inch of that house had been redone from the in-laws separated space to it multiple forays. I recommend anyone and everyone to please check it out! In addition, Montero's Restaurant opened a small cafe there that opens at 11:00 am and their specials change daily! You only have a few more days to see the Designer House as it is open until August 17th! For more information please go to: www.BaysideManorTour.com.

    Take care, Jess
