It’s becoming a recurring theme that I forget how I came into possession of certain books. My Name is Memory by Ann Brashares falls into this category. Thanks to my Book Jar, it was my next read. I certainly was not expecting to love My Name is Memory as much as I did. Ann Brashares is the […]
Fluffy Ginger Snap Cookies
Now, “fluffy” may not be the best word, but I feel it’s a very accurate representation of these Ginger Snap Cookies. For whatever reason, I’ve been in love with Ginger Snaps in the last few years. Normally, I opt for the crunchier ones that you can find in stores. It’s been an expensive love. I […]
What is Success?
As of late, I’ve had a lot of opportunity to think of success. What does it mean to me? When will I feel that I’ve actually been successful at something? Success is different for everyone. Someone may only be interested in making a lot of money. For them, success may lie in retiring early. Others […]
The Perfect Mug Brownie
I have such a sweet tooth. Oh my word, I love dessert. Sometimes, I’ll bake a box of brownies in a cupcake pan, just to pace myself. I always end up throwing something away though. #singlegirlproblems Pinterest has swarmed all over with “Mug Brownie” recipes. A huge part of me thinks it’s a farce. They […]
The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood
Let me just say that this book was originally published in 1985…1985! The Handmaid’s Tale has been more publicized courtesy of Hulu and Alexis Bledel. I don’t subscribe to Hulu, so I didn’t jump on the bandwagon series. However, The Handmaid’s Tale was a free option with Kindle Unlimited, so I thought I’d give it a shot. […]
Meet Me Inside: Glover Park Brewery
One of the biggest things I’ve missed since moving to Marietta is close proximity to delicious breweries. Let me just say that Glover Park Brewery has mended that heartbreak! I had the opportunity to attend a soft opening at “The Park” last week, and am so exited to share with you one of my new […]
Friday Five: August 2018
I’m not going to lie. It’s been a struggle trying to find five NEW and different things that I loved in August. I traveled more than I usually do. I cut out unnecessary spending. Since I was traveling at weird increments, I didn’t really try any new recipes. August kind of felt like a mess. […]
Lucky by Alice Sebold
Lucky by Alice Sebold literally wrecked me. I purchased this book many years ago. Likely, after I read The Lovely Bones (because I LOVED it). However, it has taken me many years to read it. Thank you, Book Jar for picking for me. I want the synopsis to come straight from the book, not from my […]
I’ll Be Gone in the Dark by Michelle McNamara
I’m going into this review knowing full and well that I have an unpopular opinion on I’ll Be Gone in the Dark. I’ll just go ahead and kick it off here: I did not really enjoy it. I love true crime. Seriously. It’s so interesting. Michelle McNamara was me at heart. She completely lost herself […]
I Do? or I Don’t? Thoughts on a First Look
It’s become a growing trend in weddings over the last few years to do a “First Look” with your groom. It gives you two the opportunity to “soak in” each other before being in front of all of your guests for the remainder of the day. When our parents were getting married, no one had […]
