Things to consider.

Some current recommendations...

Carrot Top Paper Shop. I got this great springy print, a quote by my favorite author. Remember back when I used to go to the LIW Museum as often as I possibly could?


This article about teaching. It's fascinating. I read it three times.


Kindle Daily Deals. So I need to stop buying books. Here's the thing: if a book is on my TBR list or I want to read it (like, I think I'll love it), I'll buy it. Spending $1-$5 on a book isn't much, but it does add up. I was able to grab a book plus narration for $5 and it had been on my TBR list for months. I was also able to pre-order two new books coming out this year for $4 each. I guess I've gotta put that Kindle to use though, right? When I told Scott it was unnecessary, he asked if I was going to use it. And I am. I never buy paper books because I hate clutter, so this is my weak (weak) justification.


Pilates! As always. Heads up: If you want to become a member of The Balance Life Sisterhood, membership is closing at the end of March and won't open again until September-ish. If you tried 21 Days of Pilates this month and want in, get in now! (nope, not being paid to say this..I wish!) It's a month by month membership so, worst case, you get out after a month. 

And then, I know I've mentioned it before, but this composting container is a game-changer. I love it.
And I never thought I'd say something like that. 


Linking up with Lauren :)

  1. That first print is so lovely.
    The Balanced Life of Sisterhood looks like potential for a great community.

  2. I love hanging prints in the house! I made several for my home office (since I'm too cheap to buy them) but I wish I had more of an artistic talent so I could draw stuff and hang it up!

  3. I like your print! And yeah, don't feel too bad about the Kindle daily deals. I mean instant gratification is so nice because sometimes I wait to read a book and other people's opinions ruin it for me. Opened that article to read later since I work with teachers now. And I have questions about pilates... I always thought it was more of an already-thin person's workout. Not true?

  4. Those Kindle Daily Deals have my "to read" list up so high, I dont think I'll ever get through them all. I'm ok with that. I'll keep buying ;)

  7. i don't think it is unnecessary. now if you're like *someone* i know, who has 86 books (real and kindle) to read, plus 50 odd books from the library? that's unnecessary. but yeah i don't think buying cheap books like that is a biggie unless it's really hurting your finances.

  9. I physically can not stop buying books. And I feel bad but not really. I got a $20 gift card to Amazon and I was BALLING! Shonda Rhimes' Year of Yes was only $2 the other day. WHAT?! Buy yourself gift cards cause then it's just one charge at a time and not a bunch of littles. #enabler
    Super super cute print. I need to check out anything paper shopish.

  10. Oh gosh, Kindle deals really do get sometimes! I need to cool it on buying books - print or e-book - because I feel like I've bought a lot recently! haha
