Welcome to my world. Come in, sit down, enjoy the view from my perspective. Cup of coffee? Cream & sugar? Please make yourself at home. Kick off your shoes & stay a while. Or, as my Daddy would say, "Pull up a chair, 'cause ya'll ain't gonna believe this!"

About Me

Who is anyone, really?

I'm Cari. I'm from a barely-there mapdot in Nassau County, Florida. Yes, there is a Nassau County in Florida, too, not just New York.

I'm a wife and mom. I'd love to tell you even more details but seeing as how this is a public blog and I have personal experience with a crazy, I'm gonna keep it fairly general.

I write for the same reason I bake: to keep from stabbing someone. Bliss is a meday with a bottomless pot of coffee, my laptop, my jammies and utter silence.

Weird fact about me: I don't like showers, only baths.

Several have asked me the significance of my blog title. It's a play on Paul McCartney's song "Maybe I'm Amazed."

The background is the painting "The Reader" by my very favorite artist Frank Weston Benson.

I love to read. I tend to reread my favorites frequently. I'm one of those people who is always reading at least three books.
