Simplicity by Sabrina

It was Travis's turn to pick the book this time around and he gave me a few to pick from to see what I would like to read with him. He picked out solely science fiction and nonfiction books because the last two books we had read together were fiction. Ha ha. He settled on Speaker for the

Travis and I recently finished reading this book together. Although we do not devote as much time to reading together as I think either of us would like, we like to steal away minutes here and there enjoying a good book together. This was one that I picked out to read together. I had originally brought it on

Happy Easter! So I am a few days late, but I love how Easter is one of those holidays that you can celebrate all year round because the thing that really matters is thinking about Jesus. As far as the tree goes, it looks more like a Spring Tree than an Easter Tree, but this is one of

Though Travis and I are Christian and are a members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, we have found a lot of meaning in celebrating Passover with making the ritualistic Passover Seder.  I don't know if we will do it every year, but this is the third year we have participated and I still really love it.

When I was a sophomore in college, one of my best friends (Kim) gave me this recipe for cookie bars and it has changed my life! I don't think I ever get so many compliments on any other recipe compared to this one. This is also the recipe that I am pretty sure made Travis start liking me

Children's novels are probably one of my favorite genres. No joke. I could read books like this all day. They are usually fun, engaging, and light. Lately I feel like young adult fiction has gotten trashy, so I have started going back to my tried and true favorite children's books and they don't disappoint! I thought I would

The first time that Travis made this recipe I think I ate an entire loaf myself! This stuff is good! I could probably eat this everyday of my life and not get tired of it. Because of the amount of sugar, it comes off pretty sweet, but the moistness (is that a word?) is balanced perfectly between the

Since it is always birthday season for someone, I thought it would be a good idea to share what I usually do for coworkers, friends, and children. For my coworkers and friends I usually get lotion, soap, bubble bath, or bath salts. It can be so simple, but very cute. When I was younger, my mom, sister, and

Since my husband is a budding economist, I decided to branch out from my usual book preference and read this book. I actually think I might have "borrowed" this from my sister, who is also studying economics. I say "borrowed" because sometimes I look in my closet and at my bookshelf and realize that I had every intention

I am a big fan of bows. I have been for years and have made quite a collection. I used to have a big basket full of all of my bows (like I did when I was little), however, the bows I was collecting now were a lot smaller and harder to find in a big basket, especially

Some may not know that The Giver by Lois Lowry, written in 1993 and made into a motion picture in 2014, is actually the first book in a series. I didn't know until two years ago when I decided to reread the book from our bookshelf and Travis mentioned that there were more books in the series. Since

 Around Christmas time when people decorate their trees, some choose to put an angel on top, some put a star, but for some of my life my family has decided to put a bow on the top. I always thought it was cute and I liked the idea, but Travis said that at Christmas a star is what

Since we were dating I shared with Travis that I always wanted to get each other books on Valentine's Day instead of flowers, chocolates, or cards because I think it helps us remember to keep reading and we ALWAYS want more books at our house! I also have always wanted to give our kids books for Valentine's Day
