We haven’t been in touch since Valentine’s Day, when I gave you a mix CD and then disappeared. Sorry to love you and leave you like that, but my family didn’t call me “The Kissing Bandit” in high school for nothing! A lot’s been going on since Sweetheart’s Day! We’ve had company, we’ve been working, [...]
This song has been stuck in my head for DAYS, so I finally gave in to the earworm* and learned to play it for Ukulele Wednesday. I’m totally into Ukulele Wednesday again. Can you tell? Come back next week for another one! *the word “earworm” was totally lifted from my mother. Thanks, Mom!
I’m a very goal-oriented person. Clearly. I set goals all the time in 2011, and it seemed like each month ended with a bulleted list of reasons for not achieving my goals. Lesson learned: I know that in order to achieve the goals I set for myself, I need to have a certain level of accountability… So, [...]
To make this online book club easier for all parties involved, I set up a group on Goodreads. This way, we can check in and discuss what we’re reading as we’re reading. I’ll still be posting end-of-book recpas on this blog, but if you’re interested in being a part of the What Are You Reading? [...]

Are you ready, boots? Start walkin’.
When I saw this post at eef-etc, I knew I had to jump on board this bandwagon. Handwriting has always been very important to me. I was the girl who “tried on” different styles of writing at the beginning of every school year – the way other girls would try on new shoes or new dresses. [...]
The morning of January 21 was cold, rainy, and generally gross. The alarm went off way too early, I was way too tired and completely unprepared. Honestly, the only thing that kept me from backing out was the thought of having to write a post admitting to giving up on my FIRST 5k of the [...]
First of all: Young Adult Lit is really stepping up its game! What several years ago may have been easy to write off as juvenile or simple has matured into a genre of literature that is just as complex and entertaining as its more “serious” older sibling. It’s a very exciting time to be a [...]
I spent my day thinking warm, snuggly thoughts of blankets and hot tea and Jane Austen movies on Netflix. I knew that as soon as I walked in the door, I would be hard pressed to do anything other than snuggle with the dogs, turn on the TV, cover up, cuddle in, and drift in [...]
