If you know my husband or me at all, then you know we love to read! We love books and we love to learn. One of our favorite things to do is peruse the aisles of Barnes & Noble together, and we find it really really hard to say no to adding a new book to our collection. ;) Bjorn has hundreds of books that he's collected over the years - needless to say, a beautiful home library will be a must in our future home! Even though she's just one, our daughter Sophie loves to read, too! Every … [Read more...]

Friends, I am so, SO excited about this post!

What’s On My Nightstand: Current Reads
I don't believe I've done a post sharing my current reads before, but I love similar posts and hearing what others are reading so I thought I'd give it a try!

A Fifty-Year Silence // Book Review
Today I'm excited to change things up a little bit and chat about a book I read recently! I've always been an avid reader but in all honesty, lately I've really struggled to stick with a book and get through it in a timely fashion!
