Sarah over at Yes & Yes (an awesome blog, by the way) did a post earlier this month about what she called her Cornerstone of Awesome. It's a sort of list of scary/amazing/hard things you've done in your life. It's not a brag list, but rather something you can refer to...

Quiet The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking by Susan Cain I've mentioned more than once on this blog that I am undeniably an introvert. So naturally, the title of this book piqued my interest. And it did prove an interesting read. Above all, it...
This month, I am (sporadically) participating in Blogtember with Jenni. The prompt for today was a "life lately" post. 1. This weekend was a good weekend. Friday was just hanging out with the boy. Saturday we had people over for brunch in the morning (recipe coming...
