Book It
I have used affiliate links for the books in this post. I’ve made it almost 3 months into my goal of reading more this year. I’m so glad I stumbled on that 2015 Reading List from PopSugar. It has made me pick up several books that I otherwise would never have considered, which is great…
Read MoreBook It – Reading is Romance
I have used affiliate links for the books in this post. Another month into my goal of doing more reading this year, and I’m making good progress on checking things off the 2015 Reading List from PopSugar. But more than that, I’m discovering again just how much I love to read. Finished Books Only a…
Read MoreBooking It- A Year of Reading
One of the things I am wanting to accomplish this year is to do a little more reading. It’s something I have always loved – even further back than my “Book It” days. I miss Book It. They need a Book It program for adults, where if you read a certain amount, you get something…

It’s banned books week! What better time to talk about reading? You know that the banned books are always the best. When I recently looked through the list of banned and challenged books, I was really surprised by the number of them that I had read, and loved. Books that remind me of my childhood,…
Read MoreFriday Favorites – Spiral Bound Sewing Books
I love reference books for sewing. And I don’t mean the digital kind. When I’m doing something as tactile as sewing, I love a physical copy of my instructions, which is why I am in love with sewing books that are published in hard bound spiral editions. Here are a few from my collection. The…
Read MoreGetting and Staying Organized
As some of you may remember, way back in March I decided that I was going to make my goal for Lent to get my house clean and organized. I even got started on that process. Unfortunately, life got in the way, and I wasn’t nearly as successful with my goal as I wanted to…
