Happy December!
Is anyone else reeling over the fact that this is the last month of 2016? No, just me? It happens every year. December hits, and suddenly I’m remembering all the things I meant to do, but too caught up in the holiday season to really care whether or not I’ve accomplished them yet. Blogging slows down too, as you’ve probably noticed. It’s a mad rush to finish projects at work, spend time with visiting friends and family, and catch up on all those last minute books you meant to read before the whole new Spring 2017 catalog hits.

It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? (11/07/16)
Click the button to join in the fun! It’s officially November and that means holidays are in full swing around here. We’re planning our annual trip to our hometowns and I’ve already started baking up some delicious rum cakes to share. Holiday season tends to go one of two ways for me, either I get a TON of reading done (thanks to flights, layovers and general down time) or I get no reading done because I’m running around like a chicken with my head cut off.
