    Four on Friday: Worries

    anxiety

    Yesterday, I posted about a new normal, which I know is something everyone is trying to figure out right now. With schools closed, parents working from home, and the threat of catching coronavirus if you leave your house, it’s stressful! But for kids, especially young ones, it can be extremely…

    Slice of Life Day 19: A New Normal?

    library bookshelves

    I don’t think I’m quite at a “new normal” because this week has definitely been weirder than most. The library is closed to the public, but the staff is coming in every other day to get some work done. So rather than my typical fully staffed library, every day I…

    Slice of Life Day 18: Bookshelves and More Bookshelves

    bookshelves

    A lot of people have been asking me what I’ve been doing this week at work while the library is closed to the public. The biggest project I’ve been tackling is shifting our entire adult fiction collection. To be fair, I started working on this project before the coronavirus hit,…

    Slice of Life Day 17: Stress Relief & Exercise

    yoga

    I spent the month of January doing a 30-day yoga journey which I enjoyed much more than I was expecting. I’m the type of person that exercises because it’s good for me, not because I enjoy doing it. So, when I actually completed 30 days of yoga in a row…

    Top Ten Tuesday

    This was such a hard list to create because I have soooooo many books on my spring TBR list. I narrowed it down to just ten middle grade books that I currently have sitting on my bookshelf in ARC format. I chose these titles because I love the author’s previous…

    Slice of Life Day 16: Never-Ending Laundry

    laundry

    I think laundry is one of my most despised household chores. It’s one of those things that you can never catch up on because there is always an outfit being worn. I don’t mind so much the act of sorting colors and fabric types. Switching laundry from the washer to…

    It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? 3/16/2020

    Last Week Where do I begin? I started off chuckling at the meme I saw online warning everyone of the time change x full moon x Friday the 13th and ended the week mentally and emotionally exhausted as the library closed to the public and I tried to relay information…

    Slice of Life Day 15: My Blogging Journey

    blogging

    I’m choosing to not write about the coronavirus today. It’s all I’ve been dealing with for the past week and it’s made me mentally and emotionally exhausted. So I’m going to write about something else! My blogging journey. If you had told me in high school or even in college…

    Coronavirus Boredom Busters

    boredom buster

    Our county, like many in the area, is under lockdown for the next two weeks (as of right now) which means all schools are closed and community centers, gyms, and entertainment venues should be too. Plus, as we all practice social distancing that discourages playdates, I thought I’d offer up…

    Slice of Life Day 14: Weekend Plans

    books

    I spent the better part of last week cleaning up the house in preparation for my brother’s family to come visit this week. With our county on (basically) lockdown and non-essential travel not recommended, they decided to stay home. As for me, I’ve got a whole weekend ahead of me…
