Dear Virtual Friends, I’m so excited that you’re back here again this month. I hope that we can grow this little linkup together and learn all sorts of fun things about each other as we go. Dear New Visitors, This is our favorite new linkup. The second Friday of every month, we’ll be sharing Little Letters together on our blogs. Write a series of letters to anyone or anything you’d like and come back here to link up. Don’t forget to share with your friends. This is one of those times where “the more, the merrier” definitely applies! Dear Wordpress, Why are you fighting me on everything this morning? I got up super early (after way too little sleep) to publish this post and you would not cooperate. Dear Camper Makeover, You are literally my favorite project of all time. I'm ...

What I Read in February

I had so many good books in my stack this month, but I still managed to download an audiobook after discovering a novel written way back when I was in elementary school. I don't remember ever hearing anything about it before a few weeks ago, so it was fun to read something without any preconceived notions. Our travels earlier this month helped beef up my total number of books this month, as well as plenty of time running after we returned. I'm trying to get into listening to books while I exercise instead of listening to music, since it makes me feel so much more productive! I still love how ...
The Monthly Report | March
Let's skip right over the how is it March already? conversation and just dig right in, okay? This week has been rough. I've been tasked with a huge project at work and then have another pressing matter on my calendar for next week. I'm trying to squeeze two full time jobs into a single week and not lose every single brain cell I have left. I've been feeling overwhelmed and under-rested and can't wait for the weekend. Oh, wait... I'm working. Whomp whomp. watching | We have been on a serious movie kick here lately and have even convinced my parents to join us for a few late nights. Let's not discuss how we are able to view these movies in the comfort of our own home, okay? I loved Passengers so much -- fun and quirky and science-y all at the same time. The Accountant is SO smart and ...
What I Read in January

Not only am I recapping last month's reads today, but I wanted to fill you in on my reading goals for 2017. It is virtually impossible to read much more than I did last year, simply due to my current season of life. Instead of focusing on a year long goal, I want to make sure I'm reading more consistently on a regular basis. This year, I'm going to aim for four books a month and make sure at least one of them is nonfiction. In my review post each month, I'll tally up the total for that month as well as offer an overview on how the entire year is going. Let's dive right in! I love how Leah is ...
The Monthly Report | February
My plan for today was to share the (very) few outfit snaps that I managed during the month of January and invite you to link up. You know what they say about plans, though, right? I just couldn't get that post drafted last night and we were celebrating Josh's birthday, packing last minute items and throwing one last load of laundry in the wash. Let's just flip flop our entire editorial calendar and take a look at our Monthly Report instead. Cool? Wardrobe Wednesday Thursday will be here bright and early tomorrow. Pinky swear! packing | This prompt seems too easy given our current status. How about we call this one packed instead? The girls got carry on luggage from Santa and we liked it so much that we asked him to send a few for the grownups in January. We were hoping to use ...

I know I've already given you a mini recap of last year's books, but the more I thought about it, the more I wanted to do a full rundown. What if you didn't read here last February? What if you don't know about the best book in August? Maybe you hate to read, but maybe you're looking for your next favorite book right now. How about a little walk down memory lane? Below you'll find cover art for all 52 books, along with links back to my original review posts and links to purchase on Amazon. I made a list of notable things about the books I read last year and I'll be interspersing them ...
What Should I Read Next?

It's been an entire year since I decided to read a book for every week of the year and I have enjoyed every minute of it. I read so many more books than I have in years past and I really expanded the types of books I was reading. I voluntarily picked up nonfiction (whoa), I started listening to audiobooks, and I even read a few new-to-me classic novels. I knew that I wanted to share a yearly recap, but I doubted anybody wanted a list of all 52 books I tackled. I decided, instead, to mirror the format of one of my favorite podcasts: What Should I Read Next? If you're a reader and not already ...
Coffee with Kristin 007
I'm in the middle of Whole30 or I would be drinking something delicious! Instead, it's coffee, coconut cream and cinnamon -- but at least that's delicious. Amber is still on hiatus, but Erin has our coffee dates going strong. If we were on a coffee date, I would tell you that our weekend was a little eventful. If you've been watching the news you'll know that the south was slated to get a wintry mix this weekend. We were in the range for the highest amount of snow, but of course -- we got nothing. We live in a weird little place and always avoid the most severe weather. There is certainly an upside to that (tornadoes), but my kids weren't thrilled about missing out on the snow. Here's the tricky part. Josh was in Philadelphia this week. He wasn't scheduled to land in Birmingham ...
