A Look Into Our Notebooks | Week 12 of 2021
I hope you all had a great weekend and you're easing into your week! I spend my Monday morning blogging time thinking about how I used my time the week before.

Full of Joy Friday | Week 12 of 2021
I've checked my calendar multiple times this morning to confirm that today is, in fact, Friday. This has been an odd week! It has simultaneously flew by and dragged on and I've been flummoxed while trying to keep up. And still - yes, it's Friday. Which means I'm here to share a few joyful things... Continue Reading →

I'm here today to share what I've read over the last week. I'm still riding a good reading wave and can't wait to chat about the three books I've finished since we last gathered to talk books and reading.

Reading | Week 11 of 2021
It's been yet another wonderful week of reading. On Monday I wrote that I'm riding a wave of wanting to read nearly everything and that continues to be the case. I want to curl up on the couch with a hot cup of coffee and just dig through a stack of books every chance I... Continue Reading →

Good morning, friends! Each Monday I take a few minutes to look at how I used my time the week before. My hope is that I'll be purposeful with my habits and ensure that I'm choosing activities that align with my goals and values. Last week was sunny and relatively warm, so a lot of...

Full of Joy Friday | Week 10 of 2021
All week long I keep my heart open for joyful moments that I can share here on Fridays. Knowing that I'll be writing this post makes such a difference in my life -- the little moments that might pass me by are relished and remembered, rather than simply forgotten. We all have spring fever right... Continue Reading →
