5 Reasons Staying Home With Your Kids Is Worth It

April 3, 2018 Katy 3 Comments

My last official day of work was March 25, 2011, just 3 days before my second child was born.  By then my back and my feet were killing me, and I was mostly just looking forward to being able to sit down for more than a few minutes of the day. I didn't really know what staying home with my kids would look like, or how much I would love it.  And while I'll be the first to admit that the transition from working to being at home was a little bumpy, now I'm thriving in my role as a stay-at-home … [Read more...]

Books and Things: February 2018

March 6, 2018 Katy Leave a Comment

I've decided to start including other entertainment in my monthly book posts, because the reality is that I spend my free time on more than just books. And also because posting about just one book seems silly to me sometimes.  So here's how I entertained myself in February... First, a book: Still Me by Jojo Moyes.  I happened to hit the library lottery and requested this new release right after it got into the system, so I was the first one to check it out.  And then I lost track of time … [Read more...]

Books I’ve Read: January 2018

February 13, 2018 Katy Leave a Comment

I started January ambitious for reading, and even set my Goodreads goal for 40 books, slightly higher than the amount I read last year.  And then I didn't really make much progress. I only read two books, and one of those I sped through on the very last day of the month.  But still, they were good, easy reads, and I enjoyed them both, so that's a fine start to my reading year. After You by Jojo Moyes. Even though I didn't love how Me Before You ended, I still wanted to read what happened … [Read more...]

What’s Saving My Life Right Now: 2018

February 2, 2018 Katy 6 Comments

This is a fun little linkup hosted by Anne Bogel of Modern Mrs. Darcy. It's always a good idea to think about the good things in our lives, even if they're small.  Here's my current list, mostly newborn-centered because that's my life right now. Drinking coffee out of an actual mug.  Yes, travel mugs keep me from having to reheat my coffee for the billionth time, but there's something about sipping from an actual mug that just makes me happy.  And when I do actually get to drink most of a … [Read more...]

Books I’ve Read: December 2017 (Plus 2017 Totals)

January 16, 2018 Katy Leave a Comment

We made it to the end of another reading year!  And for the first time in several years, I actually met my reading goal.  My goal was to read 30 books - 2 per month plus a few extras.  And I ended up reading 37.  Not too shabby!  I'm pretty sure rereading Harry Potter (plus all of the shorter companion books) helped quite a bit. The month of December was pretty chaotic, and I only ended up having time for one book.  But it was a pretty good one. Artemis by Andy Weir.  I won a … [Read more...]
