2019 Reading Goals



I'm changing things up a bit for 2019.  While I'd like to read more than 75 books, I really do think this is the most reasonable and attainable number, so that number remains consistent.  So, too, does the five classics; although, I really anticipate reading more than five if my book club keeps going.  I also kept the Kindle TBR number the same.

What did I change then?

The mini-goals are new.  I thought writing them down would help me be more fiscally responsible and help me get through my backlog of unread books.

I also removed the non-fiction and re-read a series goals I had in 2018.  Instead, I want to force myself to get into the holiday mood come fall.  This means I'm adding in some mandatory Halloween and Christmas books. 

I also upped the number of physical books I want to get through.  The bins are overflowing and need to be tackled.  This is the year I am determined to focus on making some legroom for myself under my scrapbooking table.  Right now, I have two giant totes full of paperbacks and hardcover books.  Not just full.  Overflowing. 

Wish me luck!

They saved the finger..

This was supposed to be an easy, carefree weekend.  One of those rare weekends where spontaneity is possible because plans were not made ahead of time.  We could lounge on the couch, work on our hobbies, or even do a little shopping.  And, no, I'm not referring to the necessary evil of grocery shopping, but the much more enjoyable version where you get to buy things that actually make you happy. Because the oldest boy needed some pants and the youngest could use a new pair of shoes, I decided to head into the city to do some shopping at Kohl's.  Of course, my decision to shop there was not quite so altruistic.  Mama needed a new bathing suit! So, I pack the kids up and head into the city.  The youngest picks out his shoes . The oldest tries on a few pairs of jeans and ends up with two in the basket.  Did I mention we have to shop in the men's department now?  That he's wearing size 29?  My baby is growing up! Then it was Mom's turn.  I was looking ove

Camping with Little Boys

  Our first travel trailer. I don't remember camping much with my family as a kid. This is likely because we always had the same vacation destination: a family plot in Baldwin, MI. There was no cabin there. Instead, there were two structures: a small, silver camper and an old single-wide trailer. The silver camper is gone but the single-wide still sits there and is used by extended family members to this day.  It wasn't until I was a teenager that my step-mom and dad bought a pop-up trailer and we started camping elsewhere in the state. My memory isn't the greatest, but I'm almost certain they got the pop-up after I started dating Ken. Eventually, my parents upgraded to a fifth wheel that my dad still pulls around to various nearby camping spots. Ken, by contrast, didn't have a set vacation destination growing up. His family camped. They started out with a truck-bed camper, I believe, and eventually upgraded to a fifth wheel.  Ken and I vacationed both in Baldwin an

I Heart Faces Week 18 Entry - Laughter

We had a lovely time at the tea house on Saturday. After eating three scrumptious courses and drinking a variety of teas , we decided to try on a few hats . There were also gloves, tiaras, boas, and fur stoles. It was fun being a little girl again, even for a few minutes. We giggled and we laughed, which made this shot possible:
