Thanks to coronavirus, I am well on my way to reaching my goal of 75 books in 2020. When I set that goal, I honestly thought it was a reach and would be difficult to achieve. However, like most things, if you prioritize, you can definitely reach your goals. Granted, some of this quarter’s books […]
Catherine House by Elisabeth Thomas

Patience is a Virtue
Patience is something I don’t have too much of. Generally, I read the last page of a book because I don’t like not knowing how it ends. The Bachelor/Bachelorette? I almost always look up the spoilers to see who wins. Now that I don’t have cable, I can’t mentally afford to get involved in shows […]

Things I’ve Learned As A First Time Homeowner
Happy Homeowner-iversary to me! I closed on my house June 14, 2019. I didn’t officially move in until later in the month, but it has officially been mine for one year now.

Now, my recommendations for beach reads are surprisingly similar to those books I love to share with people. […]
How I Shop For The Best Deals
I like to pride myself on almost always getting an AMAZING deal. Much like shopping at Hobby Lobby, if you pay full price for something, you’re doing it wrong. Now, there are certain items where you will likely pay full price. Mostly things with designer labels. Unless you’re buying second hand, I can’t help you. […]
{Grown Up} Summer Reading Bingo
