Happy 2024! I always love when a new month starts on a Monday, and I think it’s beyond satisfying to have the whole year starting off on a Monday. I know Mondays often get a bad reputation, but it’s usually the day of the week when I’m feeling the most motivated to get stuff done, …
This is now the third time I’ve done a yearly recap complete with the family pictures that we take weekly on Sundays. It’s always amazing to me to look back and see just how much can happen in the span of the year, and this last year was just as eventful as the years before …
Every year’s end, I try and do a recap of my reading year – how many books I read, the split of fiction/nonfiction, and which books rose to the top in my memory. While 2022 was definitely one of the lower reading years I’ve had in the last decade, it also held plenty of books …

Whew. 2020. The year that many of us will be trying to process for the rest of our lives, I think. Honestly, we’re almost at the end of January, and I STILL feel like I don’t know what to make of the last year. It was messy and hard and unexpected. It brought big (unplanned) …
Well, everyone — we made it! We made it to the end of this looooong, hard, rollercoaster year. And while we literally have no clue about what surprises 2021 has in store for us, we at least have the promise of a fresh start, which is always hopeful in and of itself. For the past …
