A few years ago, I started noticing the trend of picking a word for the year. It seemed like an interesting idea, and I watched from the sidelines for awhile. And then I started picking my own words. 2016 was Relationships. 2017 was The Year of Finishing. And this year? Intentional. I've been thinking about this word for about two months now. I headed into December trying to slow down and not overcrowd my schedule and the holiday season with too much stuff. I failed miserably, … [Read more...]

Books I’ve Read: November 2017
We were traveling for a third of November, and my goal was to read at least two books while we were on our trip. And I did!

I really wanted to like this book. And for the most part, I enjoyed it. This is … [Read more...]
My Current Food Philosophy
I've mentioned several times that we eat mostly gluten free due to gluten intolerances. But I don't know that I've laid out exactly what we eat, and why we choose to eat the way that we do. That changes today. In order to tell you how we eat now, we need to start at the beginning. Ten-ish years ago, newly married me knew how to cook just a couple things. I mentioned those at the beginning of this post, but basically, we ate a lot of cereal, sandwiches, and boxed helper meals. As we … [Read more...]
Books I’ve Read: October 2017
October was kind of a slow reading month for me. I think life just got busy, but also, I wasn't as excited about what I was reading some of the time, which makes it harder to pick up a book. Which means, for November, I need to find some hard-to-put-down reads again! The Mysterious Benedict Society and the Perilous Journey by Trenton Lee Stewart. I finally got this one at the library after reading the first one several months ago. And it was just as enjoyable and easy to read as the … [Read more...]
