2020 Outlook
It’s a new year and boy am I feeling it. Almost every part of my life has changed recently and I haven’t adjusted to the change yet. I am looking forward to this year and decade though and I’m glad that all of the changes happened at a time that makes sense as far as new beginnings go. So here’s my 2020 outlook!

Spring and Summer Reading Wrap Up
It’s been busy so I’m grouping together Spring and Summer for this reading wrap-up. All in all, I read some great books but it doesn’t look like I’ll be making it to 52 books this year. I cannot wait for my favorite season – Fall!!

Beauty’s Role in Churches
Today’s post is a little different but it’s something I’ve been thinking about. I’ve been trying to find ways to talk more about my faith and I thought the Easter season would be a great time to do that! I was struggling to find ways to fit this into my blog but then I remembered that this blog is about my interests and all the pieces that make up this young woman and hopefully it connects to other women (or men!) with similar interests.

Winter Reading Wrap-Up
It’s hard to believe that winter is already over. The first two months of this year just flew by and I’m excited to see what else is in store. Spring already has me excited for the changing weather where I can get outside! But before we look into spring, let’s take a look back at what I read in the winter. Unfortunately, I haven’t made much progress towards my 52 book goal in 2019 (spoiler: I’m only 4 down), but I think I can still get there as I take a little more time to read.

Hey there, 2019
It’s hard to believe that 2019 is here but it is, and with that I want to take a second to talk about my goals for 2019. I like looking at what people are trying to accomplish and also getting inspired to find new goals to work towards.

Fall Reading Wrap-Up
Fall is my favorite and with my wedding this year it was even more so! However, that means I don’t feel like I got very much reading done. I’m curious to see it all wrapped up and I feel like I’m about to fly through some books. Honestly, podcasts have been taking up a lot of my time which I don’t regret, it’s just meant fewer audiobooks.
