I love cookbooks! This is due to several things. First, I am not a natural born cook. I’m just not. So I rely on my beloved, dog-eared cookbooks throughout the week. Secondly, there’s something really comforting about a recipe in a cookbook; a physical, tangible book as opposed to a recipe found on Google. (Which I… Continue reading Happily Homemade
I am not a big movie lover. And when I do watch a movie, I generally won’t watch it again. I already know what’s going to happen, and I really don’t want to watch the characters go through whatever calamity they’re going to face more than once. However, there are two exceptions: The Lord of the Rings and Under… Continue reading Under the Tuscan Sun
I might as well just put “Happy Stacie” as the title of this blog post. I kid you not. Read the title again. Go on now, read it. Do you see that middle word, there? Tudor. Oh yes. It says Tudor. As in, my very favorite time period in the whole entire history of time periods!… Continue reading The Tudor Tutor
I am almost giddy as I write this. I really took a step out of my normal Stacie-zone, and requested this particular book to read and review. Some of you aren’t going to agree with my love of this book, and that’s totally fine. I respect that. But this is now one of my very… Continue reading Living with Intent
My dad was my everything. He was my very best friend, my confidant, my Bible teacher, my hero, my first crush, my strength, my number one fan. One afternoon, he and I were texting back and forth about one of our favorite country music artists. As was so common with us, the conversation turned humorous,… Continue reading Grieving the Loss of a Loved One
Coloring books!! How I love coloring books. Because a) I never grew up and b) I never grew up. I have embraced this truth about myself, and therefore, aim to collect as many coloring books as I can get my hands on. (I should probably also take stock out on PrismaColor pencils. Yep.) I don’t… Continue reading Wonderland
Okay, Friends. I’ve said it before. I’m going to say it again. You ready? I am a history nerd. Like, a full blown popcorn-eating-edge-of-my-seat-sitting-History Channel-watching nerd. (Especially Bible History. And the Tudor Era? Swoon, baby. Swoon.) I also have a slight fascination with Abraham Lincoln. I think the biggest part of this for me, is that… Continue reading Lincoln Reconsidered
Rome. Doesn’t that word immediately make you take in a deep, dreamy breath? (That might just be my inner history nerd.) My adoration of all things Rome began with the love affair that I have with my Bible. Rome is a major setting in the New Testament, and given that I adore Bible history, my love… Continue reading Tasting Rome
So, I never actually grew up. I freely, happily and openly admit this. Which is why, when I began having children, I quickly purchased coloring books for them. Because then I’d have an excuse to color! Wheeee! But then…oh glorious of days…these little bits of heaven referred to as “adult coloring books” began to make… Continue reading Live Free
Oh my GOSH, Peeps. I have literally been mulling over this book review for days. Days, I tell you! Because this book is so incredibly beautiful. If I could, my entire review would look something like this: “Ohmysqueal, it’s GORGEOUS! The end.” But obviously, you might want a little more info than that. So, here goes! With… Continue reading The Flower Workshop
