The Life-Changing Manga of Tidying Up
This post may contain affiliate links. You can read more in my disclosure policy. Almost two years ago, I read the increasingly popular book, The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo. There were some things I disagreed with but I found a lot of good inspiration in the book. I loved the idea of tidying by category and only keeping things that truly brought joy. Of course, life, pregnancy and moving into a shared house has slowed my decluttering progress. When I saw Marie had a new refresher book written in graphic novel style, I decided to read it. That's how The … Read More...
When You Long to Be More Than Just Making It
The longer I live on a budget, the more I realize how difficult it can be. I've had some very open and honest conversations with different friends over the past couple months. It's amazing how quiet we keep about our finances and at first, I was surprised by some of these revelations. But then, these conversations caused me to really think.

It seems that the longer my to-do list gets, the more I want to curl up with a good book as an escape from everything. A good coping strategy? Sometimes! :-) I’m determined to read 100 books this year again and June found me at the half-way mark, having read 52 books already this year. I joined the Modern Mrs. Darcy Challenge (MMD) to help motivate me but didn't cross many of the books off that … Read More...
What I’ve Been Reading in March
March was a good month for reading. As I said last month, I'm determined to read 100 books this year again and joined the Modern Mrs. Darcy Challenge (MMD) to help motivate me. In January, I read 8 books. In February, I read another 10 books. You can see those books with summaries and recommendations here. In March, I read 12 books. Amazingly, I only read 1 book over our Spring Break. Even though we spent 10 hours in the car driving each way to Atlanta, I spent most of my time between the kids, reading to them and keeping them entertained. When we arrived, my sister's 5 children and our 2, … Read More...
