A Month of Faves: {My Faves From The Week!}
You guys.. I have a secret (well not so secret now!) confession. I haven’t read ALL the posts from this week. I’m caught up on Monday and Thursday posts since ya’ll linked up at my blog (just read them today tho!) and I’m beginning to catch up on Tues and Wed posts. Friday- I’ll get them to sometime!
Why I am so late? Life. The kitty cat had his pin removed yesterday and was groggy from the meds and was just so pitiful. Then other things like a tree getting decorated, trying to sort out all the family Christmas get togethers- and ya’ll, I’m tired!
Link it up today at Estella’s Revenge and give a major shout-out to Girlxoxo who had the mind to dream up this event that has brought us all together! Continue reading
Looking Back: 2014 Futuristic Friday Picks {How Many Did I Read?}
So 2014 was the birth of a joint feature called Futuristic Friday. I asked Katie @ Doing Dewey to join in and she quickly agreed. For me, it’s been the best- me and Katie do have some similar reading tastes (we are both She Reads bloggers!) but Katie also loves her some nonfiction and other books- books that would fly under my radar without her mentioning them and making me aware!
When this feature started, it was something I needed. I need to break down the reading year into smaller chunks, to find the books I want to read and to focus on that (which then frees up my mind to sort through interesting review requests/free range reading) So, I told Katie that toward the end of the year, I was going to do a post that tallied up how many books I suggested/read…. Here is the post!
So.. how did I do? Continue reading

So sit down and let Beth’s tale of Christmas memories out you in the holiday spirit!
Christmas Memories by Beth Albright
I have always felt particularly blessed when it comes to Christmas memories. I have so many wonderful memories from childhood. They are sprinkled with stardust, filled with magic and laughter. I can honestly remember every year during the school Christmas party, I would look around my classroom filled with snaggle-toothed third graders and the smell of construction paper and paste and think how sorry I felt for all those poor children—they weren’t going to get to be at my Nanny’s house for Christmas. How in the world did I get so lucky? I always felt like I had won a prize—I got my family and no one else did. Continue reading
A Month of Faves { T’s Winter Survival Kit}
We’ve been talking about many things for A Month of Faves- mostly bookish- but today is all about winter survival. I live in the South where we do have cold weather- but nothing like many states. I have to recall a comment that Wesley at Library Educated said regarding a post of mine about the temp being 19 degrees for a few days this past February. She was all “19 degrees- that’s cute that you think that is REALLY cold!” Of course, for me it was cold- but for Wesley, land of unending snow and where the wind chill gets negative temps- I realize that 19 degrees probably felt like a summer day. But still.. I stand by the fact that it was VERY cold during those days 🙂
But enough about that- I’m sure you are dying to know exactly what T uses in her winter survival kit! Be sure and link up here- and then check out Estella’s Revenge! Continue reading
