A couple weekends ago I took a chance at a local craft fair and got a booth for some of my crocheted ornaments. I made a few mini stockings last Christmas for some small gift add-ons and gift card holders and several people thought they were really cute and suggested I make more and try… Continue reading I’m on Etsy!

Book Review: “Turtles All the Way Down”
Book twenty seven of my 2019 Reading Challenge. Before I get into the my most recent book review, I thought I'd let you know I've decided to lower my goal for the 2019 Goodreads Reading Challenge.

Book Review: “Displacement: A Travelogue”
Book twenty six of my 2019 Reading Challenge. Lucy Knisley's Displacement: A Travelogue I enjoyed Knisley's first travelogue about her adventures in Europe when she was in her twenties so I thought I would look into some of her other travelogues.

Book Review: “The Handmaid’s Tale”

Why My Mom is the Most Important Person in My Life
The relationship you have with your mother can be the most important relationship you ever have in your life. Not everyone gets the opportunity to become best friends with a parent, but if you do, take advantage of it. I can say that I would not be the woman I am today without the patience,… Continue reading Why My Mom is the Most Important Person in My Life
The Reality of Being the First In a New Position
When you start a new position it's exciting and scary all at once. When I finished college and decided to take a break by working at my usual summer job in my hometown instead of jumping straight into the workforce I never thought (and definitely wasn't planning) that I would land a job within my… Continue reading The Reality of Being the First In a New Position
