Personal – flannel and folklore

Lately

Making: Green Chili Chicken in the slow cooker. Drinking: Ice water. Reading: I just finished The Clockmaker’s Daughter, another good one (but not the best) by Kate Morton. Organizing: Travel plans. We’re heading to Campobello Island in Canada soon. It should be cold… But fun, right? Coveting: This bag from Josefina. Not a practical price point. Listening:Continue reading “Lately”

Lately

Making: Hopefully nothing! Maybe my husband will cook. Drinking: Water. I’m fancy like that. Reading: I just finished Sarah J. Maas’ A Court of Thorn and Roses trilogy and really enjoyed it, which surprised me. Organizing: This year’s travel plans. Still. Though airfare has been purchased. I may have mentioned that I over plan when it comes toContinue reading “Lately”

Lately

Making: Oh, am I still expected to cook? Drinking: Water, water, water, and occasionally watered down tea. Reading: Inherit the Bones by Emily Littlejohn. So far, so good! Organizing: A little of everything. Cleaning here and there. Coveting: A Forestbound bag. Gorgeous and interesting, right? Listening: God’s Gonna Cut You Down // Johnny Cash Watching: NOT ALIAS.

The List // August

It’s been a rough summer, not terrible, by any means, but…long? I don’t know. Let’s start with what I can’t control. It’s hot. I don’t have air conditioning. I’m carrying 10 pounds too many and I feel like I’m constantly overheating. When I left work today it was 97 degrees. My face just made anContinue reading “The List // August”

Ten Things I Hate About You

Or ten things you’ll love about me? Whichever. As bookish as the site tends to be, sometimes it’s more fun to find out more about the person behind the blog…? Is that true? It’s true for me. I love reading about others, but I’m generally somewhat hesitant to share about myself. Weird how that works.Continue reading “Ten Things I Hate About You”

And then I thought “What’s one more?”

And that phrase is how I wound up expecting my third baby. That may not be exactly how it went, but you get the idea. My two sons are my favorite people in the world and the idea of another little person is very appealing. So, to answer all the burning questions that I knowContinue reading “And then I thought “What’s one more?””

West Texas // Marfa, Big Bend, and Davis Mountains (with Southern New Mexico)

I stole the idea of a holiday show off post from Kate over at BooksAreMyFavouriteAndBest. I find it interesting to learn what fellow readers do in their off time (though I wish I’d taken more scenic photos in addition to family photos). We recently took a trip to West Texas and while I debated aboutContinue reading “West Texas // Marfa, Big Bend, and Davis Mountains (with Southern New Mexico)”

Lately.

Making: Seriously considering heading over to Pieology for dinner, but will likely makes veggie burgers and this divine potato salad (it’s the only potato salad I like). Drinking: Icy everything. I’ve always like my drinks cold, but I’ve been taking it to a whole new crushed ice level lately. Reading: Isle by Jes Dory. Organizing: Clothes. Purging, cleaning, and figuringContinue reading “Lately.”

A Day in the Life…

Every year (this is year two), Trish hosts a day in the life post with the idea that it will accomplish the following: “Here’s to celebrating our differences and finding our similarities. Here’s to sharing a little piece of our own “behind the scenes” and connecting with someone else on a deeper level. Here’s toContinue reading “A Day in the Life…”

Lately

Making: Fantasizing about ordering take-out, but making chicken chili verde. Drinking: Mexican Coke. Reading: Gathering Prey // John Sandford Organizing: Once a year or so, I develop and hopefully frame photos from the year. This means I’m finally cleaning off my digital camera and my phone. (See photo above) Coveting: This sweatshirt! Gilmore Girls forever. Listening: Stressed Out // Twenty OneContinue reading “Lately”
