Happy New Year!! and My Top 5 Resolutions for 2019!

Yep, I’m climbing up on the new year post bandwagon for the first time.  This is mainly because if 2018 has done anything, it’s show me a few places I need to put in some work. Also because, you know, I haven’t posted anything in a while and…new year – new beginnings, right?  (Spoiler alert: […]

Thoughts for Thursday

I’m on this kick lately where I want to be a positive, happy, kind person. Emphasis on ‘kind’ because that’s the main goal I’m working on. Kindness towards other people, but also kindness to myself because I believe you must take care of yourself in order to be able to help others. My mind hasn’t […]

Come and Sit a Spell

‘Sit a Spell’ is a Southern phrase meaning to enter a particular place and relax for a short period or ‘spell’.  It’s a time of fellowship, friendship, and (usually) gossip.  The front porch visits on hot summer days with lots of ‘bless her hearts’, sweet tea sippin’, and slowly rocking or swinging all your troubles […]

Thoughts for Thursday

Last week I talked a little about being a nicer person. It’s something that’s been on my mind for a little while now and something I’ve begun to work on for myself. Being a kind person is a noble trait, but a conversation with someone over the weekend reminded me this can sometimes be harder […]

This is my first foray into book reviews.  Let’s see how it goes!

I posted a link-up at the bottom.  When you’re finished make sure to check it out! […]

Out and About: York, Maine

I’m embarrassed to admit visiting York wasn’t part of the original plan for this vacation.  I did a ridiculous amount of (Pinterest) research for months before I actually left and I think the only thing I remembered about York was a wobbly bridge. Fail. One morning we had a free day of sorts.  It was […]

Out and About: Maine

Anything I’ve ever seen about Maine on TV, in a magazine, or on the internet made me want to go there.  Maine has everything I’ve ever loved!  Ocean and beaches, mountains and forests, more lakes and ponds than is fair for one state to have all to itself, and loads of wildlife!  So this year […]
