Nuh-uh! Ashley is bringing back the Wrap Ups?! Oh heck yeah! That’s right! I am bringing up the monthly wrap ups ya-all! So how did my reading go in July? Well, I had a LOT of life stuff that happened-both good and bad-and that super affected my reading habits. On the plus side though, I took part in the Olympic Games Readathon and that helped me read a little more […]
Monsieur Dexter 10/13/04 – 06/26/21 Dexter was the best buddo wuddo anyone could have ever asked for. He got Jake and I through several moves, was the ring bearer in our wedding, got us through a lot of really bad health problems, he accompanied me around the house all the time and listened to audiobooks with me, and fell asleep happily when Jake would play music. We had his DNA […]
If you want to see my original post from four years ago, click HERE. Yes I am diving into updating you on some of the posts I had posted about originally four years ago and here we are with the update of one of the very first series posts I did; my minimalism series. Let’s get into it, starting with clothes: My needs for clothing have changed and evolved over […]
Sasha from TheWildSasha did this tag HERE and she linked where she found the tag originally in the description of her video. Sasha said in her video she was tagging anyone that wanted to try it and so yep here we are! THE RULES: List 10 books that have stayed with you in some way. Do not take more than a few minutes and do not think too hard. They […]
Here I am four years after my original post (to see the list of 30 books I owned from 4 years ago, click HERE.), reflecting on how things have shifted and changed for me and hubby over the years in regard to our books. Since we got married, we have gone from living in a house to various apartments, a condo, an RV, and now a house again. Obviously our […]
Click HERE to see my post from nearly 4 years ago if you would like to see the pieces I used to own versus the ones I currently own. Wow can you believe I first posted about my minimal jewelry collection nearly four years ago? Time flew! Most of my jewelry pieces are still gifts given to me by my friends and family. Let’s see as my tastes have evolved […]
After being in our RV for roughly one and a half years, we have decided to give up the full time RV lifestyle. It was a super easy decision for us for several reasons. First of all, a very much needed reminder, I want to say that if you think RVing sounds great and want to go for it-do it! Obviously what works for us may not work for you […]
I have set my TBR at 50 books for 2021. The reason for this was based on math and stats from my 2020 reading, along with what I project I will want to read in the new year, but also in trying to limit my reading. Yes, you read that correctly! I am trying to cut back on time spent reading and obsessing over books so I can replace that […]
For 2020 I set my goal originally for for 130 books. I hit that goal of 130 books and went quite beyond! 2020 book stats: 198 books read in total. My shortest book was 1 page (Jude-a book of the bible of course) and my longest read was 984 pages (Kingdom of Ash by Sarah J. Maas). I read 49,425 pages total. Which nearly doubled my page count from 2019. […]
There are many books that I am excited about that are releasing in 2021, which makes it difficult to narrow down, but here are my top 5 most anticipated reads for 2021. I included a Tentative Hype amongst the books I am anticipating. Every book on this list is by an author I have read from before and am obviously hoping to love. Several of my favorite series are continuing […]
