First of all, I was proud of myself for even getting out of the car. It was 32 degrees and dropping like every few minutes. I, not being the one… Read More

December Book Report

December was a busy one. I still managed to get two books read, but we were traveling more than normal and with Elsie out of school for half the month, we were in search of fun things to do. The Darkest Minds | Alexandra Bracken: I really shied away from this book for so long because I thought is was going to… Read More

After being super unmotivated for, like, the whole month of December, this post was great. I’m ready to be able to wear skinny jeans.

Most checked out books in 2015. I’ve only read (or checked out) one of these. I’m excited about Andy Weir’s new book—I’ve started The Martian, and can’t wait to get my hands back on it to finish it! (if you missed why I didn’t get it finished. This should clear that up) I’m crushing over my son’s new hair cut…. Read More

One of my favorite things about Goodreads is the super informative graphics giving you all your stats on the books you read that year. So rad! Here’s what my year in books looks like—how’d yours turn out?!

That was twelve years ago... and I almost listened That was twelve years ago... and I almost listened. 

I’m really glad I didn’t. To be honest, this person wasn’t wrong. At the time I wasn’t very good at writing. It was early on in my career. Hearing that I should give up was a punch to my gut and I had two choices.

You got this. I’m cheering for you.
