Every February for the past few years, I’ve done a Day in the Life post to see how much changes from year to year. Last year’s post was all about life with a preemie newborn, a toddler, and a preschooler, and although life was chaotic (because life with young kids just is like that), I …
In case you’re new around here, I’m currently working on my second 101 in 1001 list, which is a list of 101 goals or things I hope to complete/do in 1,001 days (which translates to about 2.75 years). This format for goal-setting has been highly motivating for me because it combines the power of a …

Thanks to Stephany’s post, I discovered a new-to-me challenge that PERFECTLY fits the bill on what I was needing from my reading life this year. One of my 101 in 1001 goals is to start reading a lot more from my own shelves (50 books, in fact), but I was struggling with a way to …
Welcome to Round 32 of this little series I started of all the things in life I’m loving and learning lately!
