A Look Inside My Mother Morning Basket
Last week I asked on Instagram which post out of a few ideas that I had you guys wanted to see on the blog first and my mother morning basket was the most popular response! I do think it is important to continue learning and growing as adults and making a morning basket for myself has been a way to make sure what I think is the most important learning gets done. A big key for me has been to start slow. I started with just two things in the basket and have slowly worked my way up to more and I assume once the weather cools down and winter…

The Books I Read in September
Well, September was a good reading month! I read eleven books and in this round-up I’m also including one that I finished October 1st – Girl, Wash Your Face, because there are so many conflicting and controversial thoughts and reviews on it and I wanted to share my opinion on it. I also learned a lot about myself as a reader this month. For the first time ever I decided to stop being a person who quits books. I quit a lot of books in August and ended up feeling blah about my reading. I didn’t quit any in September and felt fired up about reading. I have also made the decision…

Mother Culture: The Importance of Making Time for Yourself
I am really excited about today’s guest post because it is on a topic I have been sharing about a lot online over the last number of weeks over on my personal blog (An Intentional Life) and my personal Instagram.

35 Classic Books Every Woman Should Read
Last week I came across a few great classic book list videos on YouTube and it inspired me to start a list of 35 must read classic books. I’ve only read about half of these books myself and the other half I plan on reading. The reason I chose these particular books is either because: a) I have read them and loved them or b) they are such iconic books I feel like they should be read by everyone I easily could have made this list double the length but I wanted to keep it to a number that wouldn’t feel overwhelming to people, 35 seemed like a…

The Books I Read in August
Last month I started my first list of books I read the previous month, I’m excited to make this a monthly thing because it’s a nice review for me to see which books I read and think about why I enjoyed them. This month I am going to do something different and share the books that I started but didn’t finish, and maybe why I didn’t finish them. I’d love to know if this is something you would like to see continued or not. In August I actually didn’t finish very many books and it is partly because I wasted so much time starting books that I didn’t enjoy. Another…
