The Routine Goddess

If you've visited my blog before, you might notice that it looks a little different. Yesterday, it looked like this: Now, it looks...completely different. Typically, I'm not big on change. Redesigning my blog was more my sister's idea. She enjoys changing things up a bit. Even growing up, I didn't change my environment very much.…

Ten Favorite “Doctor Who” Moments

I'm so excited--I'm finally caught up on "Doctor Who!" After Netflix deleted the show, I didn't think I'd ever be able to watch the most recent season (there isn't a tenth season yet, right?). Just when I was about to break in and buy it (despite my limited funds), the perfect solution presented itself: THE LIBRARY! Didn't…

Oh, for the love of journals

Even during times of blogging droughts, I write. Just because I haven't written online doesn't mean I haven't written at all. I even have this reminder to keep my pen scribbling on the page. Thanks, Pinterest. I must admit that most of my writing this past year has been done for class...very structured and in…

Taking my Reading Challenges Seriously

So, here's the deal. I've been very neglectful of my blog lately, but with very good excuses. #1: My sister's wedding. As I mentioned in my last post, my sister had a wedding this summer, and who's to think about blogging with a wedding approaching? #2: Summer Reading Program at the library: Anyone working in…

An Over-Fondness of Cookies

Since my younger sister is getting married in July, it's only normal that I've been looking at wedding photos on Pinterest, trying to come up with fabulous ideas to make Bethany's wedding better than any other wedding. However, sometimes I get sidetracked, and I find ideas that I would rather use for myself. I forget…

I Shall Not Want

Yesterday, I got an email from my dad which includes a video of Audrey Assad singing her song "I Shall Not Want." I am very glad that I took the time to watch this video because--first--I've found a new favorite singer. In fact, I'm listening to her on Spotify right now. But I'll eventually buy…

Just a few quotes…

If you have kept up with my blog at all, then you'll notice that I mainly write a bunch of fluff. Sad to say it--but true. Don't get me wrong, it's been fun to write about all the things that I enjoy, consisting mainly of books, crafts, and entertaining travels, but you should easily be…

Hello, it’s me…

Hello, it's me... Yes, it's been so long since my last post that Adele lyrics are required to help us get reacquainted. My last post was in December, for goodness sake! So much has happened during these last few months. For one thing, it's 2016 instead of 2015. ...and that's about all I can think…

Shortening a to-read list (if it’s even possible)

I went into the 2015 year without a reading plan. At least two books a month--that was my goal (which I met, by the way 🙂 ). As far as what I was going to read, I had no idea. I read various random books that I had never intended to read, while my to-read…

My Top 10 Favorite Christmas Movies

Finally the time of year has come where I never run out of things to watch. There are so many Christmas movies to watch and not enough time to watch them in! So, in preparation of squeezing in some extra hours on the couch, hiding from the cold (though it hasn't been that cold here…
