2018 has not only been a great reading year so far, but a fantastic knitting year! I've been knitting up a storm lately and am very happy to have finished several projects in the past two months! And to make things even more enjoyable, I've had lots of fun listening to audiobooks and podcasts while … Continue reading Knitting!
So far the 2018 reading year is off to a great start! I've read five really great books this past month. Here is a brief review of each one: Jumping Ship by Michael and Debi Pearl This short, bold little book is one that I can already tell will be read and reread over the … Continue reading January Reads
Although I am painfully aware that I have not blogged in ages, I am not going to waste any time making excuses and telling you all the (varied and excellent) reasons why I've been so busy the past few months. Let's skip right to the good stuff and talk books! At the close of … Continue reading 2017 Reading List and 2018 Reading Goals
Happy Fourth of July! I wasn't planning on writing a post at all today, but I was having so much fun going through my bookshelves for probably the 846th time in my life (rearranging, rediscovering old friends, and generally having fun reorganizing) that I had to share some really quick thoughts with y'all about paring … Continue reading Minimalism and Books
When I found out I was pregnant I researched like crazy: prenatal nutrition, body changes during pregnancy, fetal development, what exercises were safe to do, breastfeeding and especially labor. I knew that things wouldn't go according to "plan" or according to the books, but I had no idea just how MUCH I was unprepared for. … Continue reading Ten Things Motherhood Has Taught Me
Late last night I suddenly got fed up with my iPhone. Or rather, I got fed up with my iPhone habits - it's not the device's fault! I don't consider myself to be all that social media-obsessed. I just joined Facebook less than a month ago, and Instagram a few months before that. But even … Continue reading What I’ve Gained By Ignoring My iPhone All Morning

I always thought that Minimalism was just an interior decorating style that I wasn't particularly fond of - white walls, white floors, a single cold-looking designer chair, an exposed light bulb instead of a fixture, maybe an … Continue reading How Minimalism Is Changing My Life (But I’m Not A Minimalist)
My dear readers, I'm back!! I don't even know where to start. So much has changed since I last posted (August 2016!) that I almost feel like an entirely different person. With the birth of our daughter, Elanor, my life has been turned completely around. (Brownie points to anyone who recognizes where we got the … Continue reading New Chapters
Last night I went to a special showing of DC's latest movie, Suicide Squad. When the original trailers came out, it looked way too dark for my tastes. But as more trailers came out I began to be more intrigued. I'll be honest, though, and say that it wasn't until Twenty-One Pilot's song, "Heathens", came … Continue reading Suicide Squad Movie Review
When I first read Debi Pearl's Created to Be His Help Meet, I wanted to burn it. True story. I had liked it for the first several chapters, but then she kept making me so mad with the conclusions she was coming to, and the language she was using, and the points she was … Continue reading A Heavenly Marriage
