1. I really, really love the Amazon Fire 8 HD that I bought on Black Friday because I couldn’t pass up the good deal… it’s been really fun to have a functioning e-reader again and the extra functionality of being able to go online real quick or check Instagram or Facebook is really awesome. I am…
As this year is coming to a close, I am linking up with Courtney from eatprayrundc.com to take a look back at my year of running. Courtney hosts this link-up annually and it is open through January, 1, so go and check out everyone else’s year of running! I love looking back at the end of the…
relieved that we were not traveling for Christmas. It’s always crazy to travel around the holidays and I am trying to be thankful for the fact that we weren’t affected by the madness. But then again, I am… wishing that we would have traveled for Christmas, because I really would have loved to spend the…

Do you love or hate the holiday gift guides that are popping up all over the Internet this time of year?

November was busy and I still have a hard time prioritizing what I do with my limited free time, but I managed to read 3 books this month. Well, actually 3.5, but I’m pulling the 4th book into December because I haven’t finished it yet. I enjoyed all three books, two of which were YA novels, …
