Why Did I Listen To This Book? The Fourteenth Goldfish by Jennifer L. Holm is a very short audiobook, clocking in at 3 hours and 3 minutes. I decided this would be a great palate cleanser audiobook between longer listens. It would get me through one weekend commute to the boyfriend’s house. Furthermore, the story […]
The Sleep Book by Dr. Seuss | Book Review
July 28, 2015
I feel so fortunate that I grew up with Dr. Seuss. It was a more wonderful than wonderful childhood – with themed days at school, that excellent Christmas special where being a Grinch has entered our lexicon, and then finally, my bits of leadership were memorialized by Oh The Places You’ll Go.

Little Peach by Peggy Kern | Book Review
July 27, 2015

July 22, 2015
Not gonna lie, I worship at the altar of Cassey Ho. I first came across her when doing a fitness challenge with some friends using a closed Facebook group for accountability. Someone posted the Call Me Maybe Squats Song Challenge and I was hooked on the positivity of Cassey Ho and her fun routines set […]
