Dolly Parton’s New Book is Too Much Fun

I saw Dolly Parton’s new book in Target a month or so before Christmas. The moment I saw it, I knew I absolutely had to read this book. Y’all! It looks like a Barbie gift we would have gotten back when we were ten. It’s pink and pretty and Dolly!

Rarely do I know what I want for Christmas, but this year I had two requests. One was a practical book to help me stay organized […]

If You Have a Loved One on Hospice Care, You Need to Read The In-Between.

Talking about death and approaching death can feel like a taboo subject. We don’t talk about it a lot. This book addresses death, and yet somehow, this is NOT a depressing book. I found it to be a very informative, reassuring thing to read. I […]

The Time Saving Mom Book is A Useful Resource

The Time Saving Mom Book Review This week I purchased the brand new book, The Time Saving Mom, by New York Times bestselling author Crystal Paine. I bought this book because it fits my interests and the niche of this blog perfectly. One of my favorite things to do is read about how to make my life better. I like to read a million tips and then maybe only actually do two of them. Ha! Do you do that? I ordered the hardback version from Amazon and carried it around the house with me. Me carrying this book around was […]

I have several regular goals, but the only one that I think is any fun is my reading goal: 52 Books for 52 Weeks. I’m actually enjoying doing this one! I had everyone give me books for Christmas, and I am just having the best time. Why had I never thought of setting a goal that’s actually fun before?? And because this is a goal to do something I ACTUALLY enjoy, I’m […]
