I love always learning more. The knowledge I gain from both fiction and nonfiction selections is a core piece of me. And while one of my goals last year was to read LESS that was in service of absorbing more and also of using reading for the pleasure and tool I want it to be instead of the escapism it had become my last pregnancy and the subsequent pandemic… still, I managed to read almost 75 books last year and These are my top 10 (and a few honorable mentions) in no particular order Continue reading

Genuine Thoughts: Rapid Fire Questions
As I mentioned a few weeks ago, one of my favorite podcasts right now is Brene Brown’s Unlocking Us. Whenever she has a guest on her podcast, she ends her interview with ten “rapid fire” questions and since I’m not going to be on her podcast anytime soon (lol) I thought I’d respond to them on here because I find them fascinating and lovely.

GOOD listening: A Week’s Worth of Podcast Recommendations
There are an ASTOUNDING number of podcasts out there. I recently had to go through my phone and resign myself to deleting a bunch in my queue that I know I will just never actually listen to… but in clearing out so many podcasts that aren’t serving me in this season, it gave me a chance to see which podcasts I truly love and will continue to listen to regularly. So I decided to share a few of my favorites with you today.

FAVORITES: Non-material gifts for the holidays
OK, one more round of favorites before the holidays are in full swing and I start my year end wrap up…
The thought of adding any more STUFF to our already very full house makes me feel a little anxious. We are about to cram five people into our fairly small home. So today I’m writing about a few things that have been or currently are on our holiday gift list in case anyone else out there is trying to be “minimalish” for the holidays and focus on gifts that don’t take up space! Bonus- this also means you don’t have to dust them/tell your kids to pick them up… Continue reading

My FAVORITE books from 2018!
One piece of personal progress I made last year was that I started to read quite a bit more. I have always loved reading, but I just felt really burned out after graduate school and had lost the habit of reading as much as I had in the past. Last year, that changed. It especially changed after I quit facebook and suddenly found more time to spend on a chapter here and there- and a chapter here and there really adds up! So without further ado, here are my top 12 books from 2018. Continue reading
