How to Have a Great Sunday

“Sunday is the golden clasp that binds together the volume of the week,” Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.

I may be a bit biased in saying this since I am both a reader and writer, but I believe words stick with you. I’ve had family members and friends say things to me that have sometimes stuck with me for years, oftentimes without them knowing. So, it comes as no surprise to me that…

Books I’ve Bought Recently (A Very Unnecessary but Necessary Haul)

Prince Edward County has been high on my ‘places to go list’ ever since I started seeing it advertised more and more on HGTV. Now this summer, my Mom and I took action.

Two Books That Have Changed my Perspective on Life

It probably is not going to come as a surprise to many people when I say books you read can have a huge impact on who you are, and the way you think. I have read quite a few books over the years (disclaimer, not nearly as many as I would like to have because…
