I’ve been a fan of Emily McDowell’s work for quite a while now. Her Everyday Bravery pins are my favorite item by far. As a society, we tend not to acknowledge our “little” accomplishments, which are actually the big ones. Personal growth can be exhausting, so […]
Sunday was Bag Day at my library’s Summer Used Book Sale. (Depending on the size of your bag, you pay $2, $3, or $5 for as many books as you can fit in there!) As I’ve mentioned before, my husband and I have a greater […]
I’m constantly amazed by the number of people in my life who say “Oh yeah, the library…I forget about that,” when we discuss books. (I’m still not sure how anyone can forget libraries exist) Libraries are so much more than a building that houses books. […]

Ask anyone who knows me, and they will tell you I am the Queen of Thrifting. Clothes, small kitchen appliances, dog sweaters, you name it and I’ve found it for $5 or less. My book finding skills are particularly uncanny. For example, I’ve had The Untethered […]
More often than not, when I introduce myself to someone, I get this response: “Oh, like Ramona Quimby?!” Well…yes… like her, but not after her. I was named after The Ramones, who on their 1977 album Rocket to Russia, recorded a song called Ramona. I’ve […]
