When I think of Fall, I think of high school Friday night football games, fall festivals, apple picking, hayrides, and curling up with a warm blanket and a cup of coffee watching the sun come up every weekend. It's about cozy vibes and warmth and the calm before the busy holiday season starts. This is … Continue reading September Theme: Fall
The summer break seems shorter and shorter every year! Kids where we are will be going back to school in the next 2 week - when do yours go back? With the yellow busses and backpacks full of papers becoming routine again, I thought it would be fitting for Back to School to be our … Continue reading August Theme: Back to School
Is it hot where you are? We are DEFINITELY in Summer here! We've already hit 100 degrees a few times in June and I'm not looking forward to even more hot weather this month.

Last month we celebrated our moms and this month we're turning our attention to dads! Again, I'm very fortunate to have had so many great men in my life - the man who raised me, my grandfather, uncles, and many leaders in our community. Now watching my husband be a father to our kids, it … Continue reading June Theme: Dads

Do you like to travel? I used to travel a lot for work, but not so much this year. However, I have decided to do more personal travel - book festivals, reading retreats, and more! But in March, I'm traveling virtually through our reading prompts more than anything - Afghanistan, Ireland, India, multiple states. Does … Continue reading March Theme: Travel
I'd be remiss if I didn't honor our friends who don't like Valentine's Day today. Whether it's the commercialism, or the way the "holiday" has nothing really to do with Saint Valentine, so many people prefer not to have anything to do with all the pink and red, candy and heart-filled things everywhere. In honor of these … Continue reading The Anti-Valentine’s Post
Is it really any surprise that our February theme is Romance? This is the month of love for most of the world, but if you're not in the mood for candy hearts, roses, and cupids....never fear! Our Valentine's Day post is going to be an ode to all things anti-romance! There are so many great romance writers … Continue reading February Theme: Romance
I feel like every New Years Day, people start new habits and new goals with the intention of getting it done...but they don't. Are you one of those people? I have been making a point of not starting new habits in January the past few years - why wait till January if I feel like trying something … Continue reading January Theme: New Beginnings
