Even though I haven't been updating here, I did manage to fit in several books over the past few months. Here's what I've been reading lately. Crazy Rich Asians by Kevin Kwan. I got this one from the library because of my current books-to-movies/tv obsession, and it's been super popular lately. And I started it, got about a third of the way in, and just...didn't pick it up again for awhile. I don't know if it was the characters, or the footnotes (appreciated for their … [Read more...]
Our Family Christmas Ornament Tradition
Ever since I was a little kid, I remember getting a new ornament every Christmas. My mom even had these cute little knitted bags that she would set next to our stockings each year, with our new ornament inside. So when I started having kids of my own, I knew I wanted to continue this tradition myself.

I think maybe that's just the season of life that we are in. Here's what our grocery shopping and menu planning looked like for October. Monday, October 1: Aldi $152.20 First shopping trip of the month! I don't generally like to go to the stores on the first of the month, because they tend to be busier, but we … [Read more...]
Books and Things: September 2018
Ah, September. The time when I realize that I don't have a lot of free time any more, but I still really want to read and watch all the things. And all the library holds are in. And all the fall tv shows are back. And... Books Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty. I almost finished this one in time to include it in last month's review, but I fell about 50 pages short. So here it is! I had read one of Liane Moriarty's books before (this one), and while I liked the writing style, I wasn't … [Read more...]
