No secret to youse guys that I was deeply into Serial season one, and I am very much looking forward to the recently announced seasons next fall and spring. I am also really into true crime, generally, and have gone down many an internet rabbit hole. (Websleuths. It’s a crazy place.) Here are five places to get your… Continue reading while you wait for the return of “serial”

Things are real creative around here this week, apparently… (joking). But here are some highly clickable links for your Friday! 1. You might have seen on my Instagram that I was blessed to celebrate the 50th Birthday of L’Arche a few weeks ago!

2015 reading challenge: the first four books
Previously… As I previously written, I decided to dig in and participate in the Modern Mrs. Darcy 2015 Reading Challenge this year. I started a bit earlier this spring and am four books deep. A third of the way through seems pretty good for only having a few weeks under my belt! So without further ado… a book… Continue reading 2015 reading challenge: the first four books
read it: station eleven
I’ve been unsuccessfully trying to write a lovely encapsulation of why I enjoyed Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel so much when I read it recently. A transcendent review just wasn’t happening though, so let’s run down the high points of why I loved reading it. I didn’t even read it — devoured or inhaled would… Continue reading read it: station eleven
history nerds, put your hands up
I’m feeling veeery bookish these days. Obviously, I am always pretty bookish, but I’ve been trying to cut down on spending (don’t tell my Sephora cart, which is always full of sheet masks) and consequently have been reading more instead of running around with a credit card. That’s not a fair characterization of my habits, but… Continue reading history nerds, put your hands up

Goodreads prompted me to set a reading goal for the year, so I did. Because internet prompts are basically peer pressure. So I thought I could maybe do 52 books, averaging a book a week. I am at three books finished so far, and Goodreads just informed me I am one book behind. Luckily, I… Continue reading recent reads + currently reading
i can cable knit!!
I’m going to pretend to be a crafting blog for a sec. Much like times I pretend to be a food blogger or a fitness blogger or really any kind of blogger with a unifying theory of blogging, this is pretty much a total lark. At Thanksgiving time, my cousin Lauren was knitting cable knit… Continue reading i can cable knit!!
November Project + 7 favorite online fitness finds
Last night, I went to a workout hosted by November Project x sweetgreen as part of sweetgreen’s passport program, who also treated me to the super hard 305fitness workout I went to a couple weeks ago. While 305fitness was more “fun,” the classes are $20+, and I just don’t have it in me to cough… Continue reading November Project + 7 favorite online fitness finds
