NETFLIX: HEMLOCK GROVE WORTH THE WATCH

 So the other day I started seeing commercials for this new series Hemlock Grove on Netflix, so I thought I would give it a chance. Well, surprise, surprise after watching the first episode of the series I am totally hooked. Sure it's a little bit confusing when you start watching it since there are a lot of flashbacks that have to fill you in on why some of the characters are the way they are but it's totally worth it.





The series is based in a town where strange things are starting to happen after a teenage gypsy and his mother move into town. Girls start dying in gruesome ways and everyone thinks it's a wild beast, but Roman Godfrey and his new gypsy friend Peter Rumancek know the truth. SO starts the hunt for the creature eating up all the pretty girls in town. But Peter has a secret that he has entrusted to Roman. But can he keep his friends secret while he is mentally breaking down? And with a federal agent on the case while Peter's secret, as well as Roman's own, be found out? In a town where everyone is keeping a secret when they all start digging what will they all find?

Hemlock Grove so far is a great series. I have watched 8 out of 13 episodes so far and it always leaves you wanting more. Mind you it's not just the eye candy in Landon Liborion and Bill Skarsgard (Yes Skarsgard-He is related to one sexy vampire) brother of Alexander Skarsgard that keeps me watching, but the series itself is totally entertaining and worthwhile. The plot of the show drives you to watch it because you want to know how things will turn out for the characters and what secret this town is hiding. 

Skarsgard's character Roman has to deal with being the "man" of his family while still being in high school and mentally dealing with the thought of what he really is. Roman sees things in his dreams, dreams that he shares to start with Peter Rumancek, his new Gypsy friend. Roman can feel that there is something coming but he can't explain it and hopes that being with Peter will help him figure things out.

You are introduced to a lot of character what you want to know even more: 

Peter Rumancek portrayed by Landon Liboiron is a character that you feel for. Living the gypsy life he never really had a friend and Roman is the first person that he really connects with, but at the same time, he is told by his mother that he has to be wary of Roman because of what he is. Even though he is total this Peter entrust Roman with his greatest and most painful secret.

Roman's mother Olivia Godfrey is one of the most puzzling characters. Portrayed by Famke Janssen, you wanted to know what this woman is hiding. She watched her husband commit suicide and runs his company that's conducting all kinds of experiments.

Less to say there isn't any way you can't find a character that you won't love. Hemlock Grove is worth the watch and you should totally check it out. On my meter, I give it an 8.5 out of 10. Happy watching.

BOOKS AND WEBSITES NEW MOTHERS SHOULD CHECKOUT

  Being a new mother I can say is one of the scariest things in the world. You are now in charge of a new life. You are charged with the responsibility of making sure he/she is feed, cleaned, entertained and every need taken care of. Mind you because of the demands being placed on you by your new little bundle of joy you might feel that you have no time for yourself, and I would say that your right! For the first few months of your baby's life, your life is no longer your own. You sleep when he/she sleeps, you eat when you have time to sneak it in, and you finally take a shower when he/she takes a long nap. But it gets better and its well worth it. Eventually your little bundle starts sleeping thought   All of those demands and sleepless nights were something you thought you were prepared for, but when it finally came down to it you were totally wrong. Gone are helpful nurse's that would take your little one to the nursery when you wanted to take a nap. Gone are the extra

Being a mother and a writer is a unique and fulfilling experience.

Being a mother and a writer is a unique and fulfilling experience. As a mother, you have the incredible opportunity to nurture and raise a child, while as a writer, you have the ability to express your thoughts, emotions, and experiences through words. Balancing these two roles can be challenging, but it is definitely possible. One of the key aspects of being a mother and a writer is time management. With the demands of both roles, it's important to find a balance that works for you. This may involve setting aside specific times for writing, whether it's early in the morning, during nap times, or in the evenings. It's also important to communicate your needs and boundaries with your family, so they understand the importance of your writing time. Another aspect to consider is finding inspiration in your everyday life as a mother. Motherhood is filled with countless moments of joy, frustration, love, and growth. These experiences can serve as a rich source of inspiration for
