Welcome to my weekly update for March 20, 2022! We decided to spend last weekend in Columbia, SC. It’s the capital of the state, but–most appealing to me–it’s also next door to Congaree National Park. We’ve visited national parks in Alaska and Hawaii but we’ve never visited this park, located only about three hours away […]
Welcome to my weekly update for March 13, 2022! My aunt and uncle visited us for three days last week and we had such a good time with them. We all love to travel so that’s fun to discuss. But most importantly, we’ve barely seen them since 2019? Maybe late 2018? We had them all […]
Welcome to my weekly update for March 6, 2022! I just realized that I never shared the results of the Cybils Awards with you. I was a round one panelist for high school nonfiction. We narrowed the list down from 25 nominations to five finalists. On February 14, the winners in all categories were announced. […]
Welcome to my monthly wrap-up for February 2022! I started using (and heavily customizing) Book Riot’s Reading Log because Nicole at BookWyrm Knits always has beautiful charts and I wanted some of my own for this post. But I’ve just realized that all my charts are for the entire year. Limiting them by month will […]
Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl invited us to share ten books I enjoyed but haven’t mentioned on my blog. I don’t know if Jana and I are on the same wavelength or if I subconsciously saw this topic recently, but that’s exactly what I wrote about two weeks ago! Needless to say, I’m going […]
Welcome to my weekly update for February 27, 2022! We finally had warm, sunny weather this week. It felt heavenly! On Sunday, we went to the Caw Caw Interpretive Center, a county park that has trails through several different ecosystems. It’s a wildlife refuge but in late winter, we didn’t see many animals. Apparently there’s […]
Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl invited us to share our top ten “dynamic duos” this week. I can think of a few ways to interpret this. I decided I didn’t want to feature romantic couples; that’s a post for another day. I decided to feature best friends instead. You know, those ride-or-dies who will do anything for each other. But […]
Welcome to my weekly update for February 20, 2022! We went to the Charles Pinckney National Historic Site yesterday. Charles Pinckney was “a principal author and signer of the United States Constitution” according to the NPS website. He was very active in the Constitutional Convention and contributed roughly 28 clauses to the final document, some […]
Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl invited us to share ten books too good to review properly this week (A topic suggested by Dedra at A Book Wanderer). That topic didn’t really speak to me, since it felt like I would just end up listing my favorite books again. I veered just a bit off topic and decided to list ten excellent books […]
Welcome to my weekly update for February 13, 2022! Happy Super Bowl Sunday! Or, if I have any fellow fans of What We Do in the Shadows out there, Happy Superb Owl Sunday! I’m honestly just here for the food but my husband will be watching and vaguely rooting for the Bengals. I spent a […]
Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl prompted us to post about our own topic pertaining to love this week. I tried to think of something a little off the beaten path. The obvious choices to me are favorite romances, book crushes, or book couples. But when I think of love I think of my sweet […]
