I’ve always liked the idea of entertaining. I turn into the mom at the party, making sure everyone is fed and has something to drink, no matter where I am. Recently, I had the opportunity to have a few friends over and make dinner. For starters, hosting can be expensive! I opted for a bit […]

Building Blocks for the Perfect Vision Board
I’m big on a visualization of my goals on a vision board I see every day. Something I have to keep telling myself is that there’s nothing magical about January 1st. We all put so much pressure on ourselves to start our resolutions and get on top of them right at the beginning of the […]
2019: Flourishing Into A New Year
Here’s to a new year! 2019 has to be better than 2018. I have high hopes for this year for a few different reasons. Last year, my word of the year was “intention”. I failed pretty miserably at living with intention. In 2019, my word is flourish: grow or develop in a healthy or vigorous […]
2018 Resolutions & Goals Retrospective
Oh, if only I could go back and prepare 2017 Caroline for the horror that was 2018. Y’all, my favorite number failed me. I had both resolutions and goals for 2018. I did pretty well on the 2018 resolutions…not so well on my goals. I have plans to change that in 2019. 2018 Resolutions Read […]
2018 Book Roundup
I’ve read 45 books in 2018. That seems like so many! The first half of the year was full of a few more books than the second half, but that’s okay. I hit a bit of a reading slump this fall. I’ve got the book roundup of all that I completed this year. Before we […]
The Bookstagram Challenge
This is the first year that I don’t have any books on my Christmas list. I’m not sure who possessed me and forced me to make that decision, but my bookshelves are overflowing. In an effort to build up my #TBR list (more than it already is), I’m kicking off the December Bookstagram Challenge! The […]
Lenten Season
Today is Ash Wednesday. That means that it’s the beginning of another lenten season, leading up to Easter Sunday. It’s all happening a bit early this year. I mean, Easter is April 1st! There are a ton of things happening between now and then (#staytuned), so it’s going to be a very busy Lent. Each […]
2018: New Year, New Resolutions
Happy New Year! 18 is my lucky number, so I have high hopes for this year. It has to be better than the last two years, right? I’ll be moving, visiting San Diego, and who knows what else?! I’m going to be more intentional about my resolutions this year. I had six last year. Ron […]
2017: Resolution Recap
Part of me is having a hard time believing how fast this year has gone by. The other part of me is super happy that 2017 is over. This last year wasn’t hard, per se, but it was a very uneventful year. I’m kind of bored. Anyway, at the end of each year, you get […]
Declutter Challenge: Clean by Christmas
Happy December! The longer you live in one place, the more “stuff” you accumulate. For me, I’ve been in this apartment for about a year and a half. When I moved out of my last place, it was quite a rush, so I didn’t purge and declutter the way I wanted to. I’m planning on […]
