New Year, New Books. Yes? That is how it works for me. I still haven’t had a chance to work on my goals (sick kids, no school). But books? That list is going strong and I’ve already dived in. I’m sharing what I’m currently reading and what is on my list for the year. Just […]

It’s been awhile since we’ve talked books . . . Here’s what I’m currently reading (want to read and have read) . . . . I’m not one to hoard information. In fact, I am most myself when I collect it and share it. I hate that we haven’t discussed books for some time.  I excited to tell […]

For all those go-getters who’ve gotten a little tired.  This is for you. Pinky promise.   We all chase things. Only we don’t like to call it a chase. Go-getting sounds better, doesn’t it? Hustle sounds about right. Like the word of the year as well as the last two. Because if Beyonce can do […]

Here’s what I’m currently reading (and have recently read) . . . . A few game changers, a few to get lost in, a few to inspire! Present Over Perfect / This goes on my favorite list for 2016. I’m certainly a Shauna Niequist fan, but this one is tops for me. As a reader I’m learning […]

Here are a few that I’ve finished over the past few months that I would recommend:

It’s been too long since I’ve shared what I’ve been reading.  It’s not that I haven’t been reading.  I have been reading a lot.  My habbit of reading in multiples (at least three at at time) would be a really hard one for me to break.  I feel it would be likened to limiting yourself […]

You know I love a good book.  Whether fiction, personal growth, or design related, I only share my favorite – “you must read and add to your collection” – books.  And, Gabrielle Blair’s (a.k.a Design Mom) new book, Design Mom: How to Live With Kids: A Room-by-Room Guide, is one of those.  It’s one you’ll […]

i look for books, and books find me. i look in bookstores, because a bookstore is not just one place, it is many.  within the walls are pages, and within the pages; places, people and practices that you can peek into and possibly take with you.  you can take your escape.  you can start your excavate.
