1001 Books to Read Before I Die (and then some)
Inspired by Peter Boxall’s 1001 Books: You Must Read Before You Die, at the beginning of 2018 I decided to create my own list of books to read. What amazed me the most is just by creating this list I gained quite a bit of inspiration and historical insight. That’s something I wasn’t expecting, but made me even more excited to read some of these books.
This list contains both fiction and nonfiction selections I’m interested in reading for one reason or another. Many were recommendations from friends or books that won some kind of award. Some of the books on the list will be books I’ve read in the past, but want to read again to see if I glean anything new from them now that I’m older and hopefully wiser. All of the books are of interest to me. You’ll notice a good deal of psychology, philosophy and science books on the list.

August Writing Prompts
This past month I’ve been thinking about all the achievements my kids have had in their short lives. Especially those achievements they have a hard time recognizing as an accomplishment. Sometimes it’s hard to see that even a little progress is an achievement even if you haven’t reached the final goal. It’s also not always…
Respect Blog and Journal Prompts
Respect shows itself in different ways. Everything from the respect we give someone who’s older than us, respect we show authority, and even our own self-respect. You can show it, earn it, give it, even expect it. This month, in line with the #SunshineYourFeed challenge, we’re going to explore the many faces of respect in…
Relaxation Blog and Journal Prompts
Summer is just around the corner and I’m ready for some rest and relaxation! It’s vacation season! We’ve already taken a couple day trips this year so far, but I’m looking forward to some more adventures. We’re more of a spontaneous family so you never know when or where we’ll decide to pick up and…
The Ultimate Collection of List Journal Ideas
I love journaling. One of my favorite types of journals is a list journal. Basically, this is just a journal where you create lists about anything you want to create a list about. Sometimes I want to write, but I don’t know what to write about, or I’m not looking for any kind of deep…
May Blog & Journal Prompts
I really do hope April showers bring May flowers, because wow it was a rainy April this year. The kids are okay with that because they had plenty of opportunities to play in the rain and picked up some brand new rain boots for puddle hopping. This month we’re talking about creativity. Not only will…
April Blog and Journal Prompts
I’ve always loved the saying laughter is the best medicine, even though I know that a good dose of medical treatment usually doesn’t hurt either. My girls are beyond excited for April Fools Day. However, around here, we never need to wait to find a good laugh in any situation. My youngest loves to read…
March Blog and Journal Prompts
The birds have been chirping outside my window for the past month and the buds are already appearing on my lilac bush. Others in the area have already reported flowers starting to emerge. Spring can’t get here soon enough. Between the March #SunshineYourFeed challenge and a month of prompts celebrating spring my spring fever is…
