We’re back for more Adventures In House Hunting! Somehow, the house hunt hasn’t gotten any easier, even though I’m pretty sure I have the easiest house wishlist. Luckily, my leasing office was kind enough to extend my lease for another month and a half to buy me some more time to find somewhere. When I […]
Inspiration
You Are A Badass Every Day by Jen Sincero
I love Jen Sincero. She went on a book tour for You Are A Badass Every Day earlier this year, but Barnes & Noble left out the fact that it was a wristband only event. Since I work, I didn’t have the chance to go get one. I’ve been cutting back on my spending, but […]
Lent: 40 Days of Self Improvement
We’re back for another Lenten season. As a reminder, this is a period in time where you’re meant to make changes in your life to improve yourself and grow deeper into your faith. Lent is starting a few weeks later this year, so I had time to think, but it still managed to creep up […]
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 […]
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 […]
Holiday Gift Guide: Book Lovers
Helllloooooooo book friends! Or friends and family of book friends. Though, if you’re not a book friend, haven’t I harped enough on the importance of reading? Bookish people have very particular tastes when it comes to reading. You have those who listen to audiobooks, those who read on paper, those who only digest eBooks, and […]
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 […]
Attitude of Gratitude
Happy Thanksgiving! Last year, I wrote about things that I was thankful for. This day is a chance for all of us to reflect on the blessings in our lives. However, what if we adopted an attitude of gratitude? What kind of change would that have in your life? This Thanksgiving, opt for gratitude, not […]
Holiday Shopping Guide: Ways to Save
It’s a shame that showing your love to someone can be so expensive, especially around the holidays. There are great gift ideas that you can make, yes, but people make Wish Lists of things they want purchased. That’s why I’m sharing the ultimate Holiday Shopping Guide…to saving! Some are websites, some are shopping hacks, but […]
Why Reading Matters (& Why You Should Be Doing It!)
I was very blessed growing up in that my parents (almost) never denied me a book. I looked forward to the Book Fair like nobody’s business. My mom worked at the school, so I even got the teacher discount! My love for reading grew very early, and it’s been something that I’ve cherished as I’ve […]
