What was your childhood like? Was it normal? Why or why not? This question pops up a lot on prompts for bloggers to do for when they get stuck, but it's one that I've wanted to write about for years now... I just haven't gotten around to it until now. My childhood was definitely a … Continue reading Growing Up in a Pizza Place
"'Meaningless! Meaningless!' says the Teacher. 'Utterly meaningless! Everything is meaningless.'" - Ecclesiastes 1:2 (NIV) Solomon is known as one of the wisest men to walk the earth, and in Ecclesiastes he uses the word 'meaningless' 37 times. In the first seven chapters of the book he tries to find fulfillment in worldly things, such as scientific discovery, … Continue reading Meaningless
If you weren't aware, this week is the annual House Pride week. This was initially started on Pottermore a few years ago, and we Harry Potter fans like to keep it going each year (even if the website doesn't). I've been seeing my Instagram feed filled with plenty of house pride this week, and finally, … Continue reading Ravenclaw Pride Day
Two years ago I posted My Essential iPhone Apps to share some of my favorite apps with you all, but we all know that things change. Since this post I have deleted a few of those apps either because they were no longer useful or I didn't like the updates they've gone through over the … Continue reading My Essential iPhone Apps [2017 Update]
It's not often I go to the mall for the day to actually shop at multiple stores; it's probably about once (maybe twice) a year that I do this. I have to say that I've gotten a little better at not spending unnecessary money when I actually do have the extra money to spend. It … Continue reading Mall Haul

Being the second Wednesday of the month, it's about time I let you all know what I'be been up to recently. I'm actually going to be doing … Continue reading What’s Happening Wednesday {Currently}
As I'm most of my readers now by now, I work in a library. This amazing job was offered to me just over six months ago and I thank God everyday for it because I know it was all in His plan for this one to open up as opposed to the other libraries I … Continue reading Reasons Why I Love Working in a Library
Okay, so I did a list of books I want to reread this year, but I think it's time to give the movies some love. I have always been a fan of movies, but lately not as much because there never seems to be any that I'm interested in anymore. Even continuations of movies I … Continue reading Movies I’m Looking Forward to This Year
Surrounded by books... duh! First off, I normally work on Tuesdays, but I received an "earned day" where I can take a day off and get paid for it... so I took Valentine's Day off - which is really just another day for me. I don't buy into the whole Valentine's thing, but I won't keep … Continue reading How I Spent Valentine’s Day
Happy Wednesday everyone! And it's the second one of the month, which means it's time for a What's Happening Wednesday post! I had just realized yesterday that it was already time again to do this post, but I'm excited for it. It's nice sometimes to have some kind of monthly or weekly post to fall … Continue reading What’s Happening Wednesday {Currently}
This past week has been, well... quite a week. For me, it's been both stressful and eye-opening. My entire life I've felt like I was the only conservative Christian girl, now young woman, among my peers. As I've gotten older, this feeling has become more of a reality... and even more so over the past few … Continue reading Finding Encouragement in Trying Times
I typically try to steer clear of talking about politics on my blog, because I really get no enjoyment from it, but I do have to say this... I'm about ready to delete Facebook and Twitter because of all the fighting/political posts I see on my news feed. The best answer would be to just … Continue reading Social Media Time-Out
It's been a while since I've done one of these, like, a year? So I've decided that this year I'll do a "Currently/What's Happening Wednesday" post on the second Wednesday of each month to let you all know what I've been up to. You can join too by linking up with me each month through … Continue reading What’s Happening Wednesday {Currently}
