In 2022 I read 19 out of 20 books on my reading list challenge. I read 4 more books than in 2021 and also subtracted 4 books from my 2022 list compared to 2021. I read 10 out of the 20 books from the original reading list. I'll caveat that my goal was closely achieved…
I'm over a week late with this post! It's been crazy since the end of September and there are so many errands to run and people to see. We're HALF A MONTH out from our wedding! I can't believe it's almost here. It's been a long year since we started planning, but now time is…

Yule Altar by Lily Borak Last year I began a new tradition in our new home of celebrating the Winter Solstice that occurs on December 21st or 22nd, depending on the year. This year, I continued that tradition and created a beautiful Yule altar complete with a golden "sun" candle, white candles, pine cones and…
My sun sign is Capricorn, the sea-goat. Yup, I'm throwing astrology in here because it's fun and my horoscope for all of September was scary-accurate.
