My First Attempt At Kon Mari: My Clothing

August 2, 2015 Katy 3 Comments

Last week, I read The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo.  This is one of the first times I've actually read what I would consider a "trendy" book while it's still trendy, by the way.  I usually don't get to them until a few years later... I decided to give some of the KonMari organizing principles a try.  You organize by category, and one of the key things is to gather everything from that category in one spot.  The first area to tackle is clothing.  So I gathered all of my … [Read more...]

Books I’ve Read: July 2015

Earlier this month, I posted my review of Gretchen Rubin's Better Than Before.  I'm attempting to read more by getting a book from the library, which has a two-week due date (and then a two-week renewal).  It's not perfect, but it is a deadline to force myself to read something.  I do look forward to the day when the kids are a little older, and nap time/quiet time morphs into reading time.  For now, here's my other book review for the month... A Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood.  I read a … [Read more...]

Book Review: Better Than Before by Gretchen Rubin

July 20, 2015 Katy 1 Comment

Disclaimer: I received a free copy of this book from Blogging for Books.  A few years ago, back when she was still writing The Happiness Project, I read Gretchen Rubin's blog, although I stopped somewhere in there because my blog list was too long.  I really enjoyed this book though, so I may have to go search her out again. Rubin's premise in Better Than Before is that everyone falls into one of four personality types when it comes to dealing with expectations.  I'm an Obliger, which means … [Read more...]

No picture this time around, because these were all on my Kindle.  But here's what I read this time around... The Frugal Life: The Simple Path To Living A Good Life On A Budget by Michelle Stewart.  This was one of the "less than 100 pages" books on my Kindle that I got for free at some point.  Most of this book was pretty common sense, review stuff.  Declutter and sell stuff, meal plan, use coupons, budget. The one takeaway I got from it was an example in the first chapter about eating … [Read more...]

Books I’ve Read: April 2015

April 25, 2015 Katy Leave a Comment

Did anyone notice that I didn't have a post about books in March?  No?  Well, that's because I didn't actually finish any books in March.  April was not much better.  I'm just in one of those busy seasons of life, I guess.  I do need to be more intentional with my free time, though.  I find myself wasting bits of my day on the Internet far more frequently than I need to. Anyways...here's the book I read most of in March, and finally finished this week. This Is What You Just Put In Your … [Read more...]
