Book Club

Saturday, April 1, 2017

In spite of my love for reading, I have never been a part of a book club before. The neighborhood that we moved into has all types of neighborhood gatherings...one of which is book club. I attended my first book club get-together last Thursday. The funny part? I didn't finish the book.

Time to Refresh

Sunday, March 26, 2017

Spring is officially here, and it seems like the perfect time to refresh. Lately, I have been thinking a lot about happiness (probably because I am reading Gretchen Rubin's The Happiness Project). Along with my thinking, I have been reflecting on what I am doing in my own life to experience happiness and to (hopefully) create happiness with the people I hold dear. My Happiness Project has also got me thinking a lot...

It's Nice to be Home

Thursday, March 16, 2017

Over the weekend, I visited my parents. I really do enjoy spending time with my parents very much. They don't live that far from us, but the two-hour drive is just far enough that I would much rather stay for a night or two rather than drive down just for the day.

My Happiness Project Update (Winter 17)

Friday, March 10, 2017


March is here! I never recapped January or wrote about my February goals, so this will be a winter update and an overview of my goals for March. Although I haven't been writing about it on this blog, I have still been doing the work for My Happiness Project. At the end of this post, I will review my January and February lists of happiness, but I would like to begin by looking ahead to March.

"Some Things" from the Week (2.26.17)

Monday, March 6, 2017


It's already Monday. Where did the weekend go? Where did the week go? Another busy week, and so here are "some things" from the week...

"Some Things" from the Week (2.19.17)

Thursday, March 2, 2017

Another week got away from me, so here I am writing "Some Things" four days late. One of these weeks, I will have a productive week of writing and produce more than just a recap of my week. But at least I am writing something (or should I say, "Some Things" - ohhh how funny I am). I will be happy with that...for now. Slow and steady wins the race, right? (Although, I am not sure that this applies here because I am not racing.) Anyway...here are some things that stood out to me this week...

"Some Things" from the Week (2.12.17)

Monday, February 20, 2017

Well, I know that I just wrote my "Some Things" from the previous week, so here I go again, recapping yet another week. It is really not my intention for this blog to just be about weekly recaps, but for now, this is keeping me in the routine of writing. Plus, it was a pretty fun week, so here it goes...

"Some Things" from the Week (2.5.17)

Thursday, February 16, 2017

First, I am days late on this post, but better late than never, right? I am beginning to think that should be the mantra of my life. Here's a recap of my week for last week...

Two-topia

Saturday, February 11, 2017

Two weeks ago, we threw our little one a 2nd birthday party. The theme was Zootopia - the most popular movie in our house these days. This was our first birthday party in our new house, and we wanted to invite our friends in the neighborhood - all of whom have little kids. So, this was our first real birthday party with lots (and I mean LOTS) of kids. I was a little nervous only because having so many little kids together can result in them either having a ball or a fit. Lucky for us, it turned out to be a fun time for all!

"Some things" From the Week (1.29.17)

Sunday, February 5, 2017

Another week is over - and poof! - January is gone, and we are almost a full week into February. We had a blast during the month of January (how many people do you know who actually say that?!), but we are excited to be getting closer and closer to spring. Here are some things from the week...

Happy Saturday!

Saturday, February 4, 2017


It's the weekend...Happy Weekend!

"Some Things" from the Week (1.22.17)

Wednesday, February 1, 2017

It is Tuesday, and I am technically well into the week of January 29. Yes, I am late with this post, and you know what? It is okay. This means that I actually met the goal that I set for myself last week for what I wanted to do: enjoy the week with my family and not worry about my "to do" list. Check. I did it. And what a wonderful week it was.

"Some Things" from the Week (1.15.17)

Sunday, January 22, 2017

It is Sunday, and I think this is going to be my official day for writing "some things" from the week. After all, Saturday is still part of the week, and it just seems that Sundays lend itself to writing more  for me than Saturdays. Here are my "some things" for the week of January 15, 2017...

Our First Home Sweet Home

Saturday, January 21, 2017

Almost six months ago, we closed the door to our very first home as a married couple. This was a very emotional move, so much so, that I don't think I am even ready to dedicate a post to this milestone. This was such a special house to us.

"Some Things" from the Week (1.8.17)

Sunday, January 15, 2017

It is Sunday, so I am overdue for "Some things" from the week (technically last week now, I guess). Last week, I felt like I had to narrow down my list, and this week I felt like I had to really think about what I wanted to say here. I guess I will have weeks like that.

My Happiness Project

Thursday, January 12, 2017


I love fresh starts and new routines. I love trying new things in an attempt to be more organized, save more money, stay on top of chores, and make the most of my time so that I have time to do the things that are most important to me.

"Some Things" from the Week (1.1.17)

Saturday, January 7, 2017


Something that I really enjoy reading on other blogs are lists of favorite things or loved links. I wanted to do something like this here, but I wanted to have my own spin on it. So, I am going to try to talk about "Some Things" from the week.

What is This?

Friday, January 6, 2017


I tried to define this blog in my first post. However, I think it is a good idea to revisit this before moving forward. This is more for me than it is for you. I need to give myself a little direction here...some kind of an identity...and then let this all play out the way that it was meant to be. (That's my attempt at being curious here.)

Curious Possibility

Tuesday, January 3, 2017


Today is day 3 of 2017. I started this blog in October, and I made the promise to publish twice a week. How many times did I publish since that first post on October 1? ZERO. That's right, I said ZERO.
