What a great reading month it has been! As usual, I’ve read many different genres, but the majority of my month was spent steeped in Sarah J. Mass reads. From continuing my Throne of Glass series read, to reading her new release from ACOTAR, it’s been a whirlwind of fantasy. I actually spent more timeContinue reading “February Wrap-Up”

I spent most of last year reading in my free time. When I was a kid I could devour a book a day. Then I became a mom and well…all you mom’s know how that goes. But, we are now empty nesters and I’m discovering my love for reading again. Last year I set aContinue reading “Bookstagram”

I have pinned cute wreathes on Pinterest about a billion times! Since I’m working on being brave and trying new things this year, I thought I’d give them a go. I am in LOVE with how they turned out! Since we are close to Valentine’s day and these babies have all the pretty pink flowers,Continue reading “Wreathe DIY”

One of my goals for 2020 is to read at least 50 books. I’m well on my way already! Reading is something that I’ve always loved, but since becoming an elementary school administrator, I have not found good balance in my life that has allowed for much time for reading. I’m really working to findContinue reading “#BookGoals”

Ryan and I talked about redoing our stairs in our house in St. Charles, but moved before we were able to get to that. I knew when we bought our current house that it would definitely be on the list. True to what we do, we decided on the spur of the moment at theContinue reading “Christmas Project – Stair Makeover Part 1”

Years and years ago, I started picking one word instead of a New Year’s Resolution. I never stuck to my resolution. It always ended up being something crazy with weight loss and something that wasn’t realistic or attainable. Once I switched to using one word, I found I was able to stick with it ANDContinue reading “One Word…Well…Sort Of”

Today is Mother’s Day and I find myself reflecting on the last almost 22 years of being a mom. My oldest will be 22 in October and my youngest is 17. I always find it odd when people say my work is almost done. I don’t feel that way. Not at all. My worries stillContinue reading “Motherhood”

So, this post is all about those working moms out there. I’m sure many of you have struggled with finding that balance between professional and personal life, I know I have! I’ve been a certified educator for 14 years, and working in schools for 18 years. In my first years of teaching I would workContinue reading “Balance”

When we bought our current house we knew there were a few things that we wanted to change.  Some of the small things we did right away; light fixtures, cabinet handles, and appliances. Every single fixture and handle was icky brass!  In our previous home we updated those items to brushed nickel. However, in thisContinue reading “Main Level Bath and Master Bath Remodel”

Guys!  I’m so excited about this new year.  2019 is going to be grand…I can feel it!  I’ve been spending a lot of time thinking about creating a blog this past year.  I have actually tried it twice before and it never really went anywhere.  However, this time around I have a ton of ideasContinue reading “The Journey Begins”
