I did it! Plus 2 days, even. What’s funny is that I’m only taking one day off – tomorrow – before I post a few posts before 2019 begins on Tuesday. I’m not really taking it off, I’m just not posting anything. I learned a few things, too. Like being 2 weeks ahead was incredibly… Continue reading Wrapping Blogmas Up

Christmas Recap
I thought I would have a lot more pictures from Christmas, but I didn’t take a lot. We spent Christmas Eve Eve with my parents at their place for a pretty excellent dinner. My brothers weren’t able to be there so it was just the four of us. I also scored some sweet Delft pottery… Continue reading Christmas Recap
Ten Books I Hope to Find Under the Tree!
Merry Christmas! This week’s topic from That Artsy Reader Girl is a list of the books I want to find under the tree today. I love this idea! I actually got a ton of the books I really really wanted from my Secret Santa done by The Broke and The Bookish blog, but I always have… Continue reading Ten Books I Hope to Find Under the Tree!
2018 Highlights
2018 was bananas. I don’t just mean the country falling down around us, or Earth continuing its slow decline because we’re killing it, or the general insanity that has come to what feels like the entire world. Though all of those things are also true. It’s just been a crazy year, personally. I won’t remember… Continue reading 2018 Highlights
Bullet Journaling
I recently re-discovered Bullet Journaling {thanks YouTube!}. I’m not going to go into details about what Bullet Journaling is – I liked to the main BuJo source above, and there are some YouTube channels linked below if you’re interested. This time around I decided that I didn’t need to immediately jump into the whole situation,… Continue reading Bullet Journaling
Haystack Cookies

Also, Shane eats everything except sweets so I won’t have to talk about how picky of an eater he is. On to the… Continue reading Haystack Cookies
What Makes Christmas Christmas
There are a few things that I *have* to have to make Christmas a good Christmas. Two of them I discovered this year, oddly enough. One of those Terry Oranges. Why? No idea. It’s an institution, though. Real oranges, because I read Little House on the Prairie as a child. Haystack Cookies! They’re my favorite… Continue reading What Makes Christmas Christmas
Christmas Pajama Roundup
I’m into Christmas pjs, y’all. I’ve always been super jealous of people who get Christmas pjs every year. So I made Shane buy matching pjs with me this year. Ok, I didn’t actually *make* him, he was fine with the idea. I’m not going to share a pic, but we have definitely spent an evening… Continue reading Christmas Pajama Roundup
My Christmas Movie Marathon
This past Saturday a good friend of mine came down to celebrate Christmaspalooza – a several years old tradition we have of watching Christmas movies (usually bad ones) and making baked goodies. This is the lineup from this year: A Christmas Prince: The Royal Wedding Aldovia is a tremendously poorly run country who should have… Continue reading My Christmas Movie Marathon
My Top Ten on My Winter TBR
Top Ten Tuesday is a feature currently run by That Artsy Reader Girl. Usually, I don’t really look at these TBR lists after making them, but I feel like this is a pretty accurate representation of what I’m going to be reading over the next couple of months. Especially Terminal World, I’ve been reading it off… Continue reading My Top Ten on My Winter TBR
