Wowza....

Alright. I have no excuses. I'm just ignoring my blog.

So it's May. May 5th.

I've been on a reading kick lately. Almost every day I'm looking for new books to read. My to-read list is up to 217 books. I have read 31 books so far this year. I set my goal for 42 books. At the rate I'm going, I just might hit the 50 books read mark, or higher. At some point I will list all the books I've read so far. But not today.

What can I say? I love books.

My little etsy shop is hanging in the there. Things have been slow, and there was a point where I just wanted to give up. March/April are the worst months for my shop. My goal for this year is to reach 1,300 sales by the end of the year. I'm currently at 1,116 sales. It may seem impossible now, but once the holiday season arrives, I don't think I will have any problems. 

Well, that's it. Until next time...

GoodReads 2013 Reading Challenge - December

I'm a little late on this post. I'm happy to say that I completed my goal for the year! Here's what I read in the month of December.

The Last Battle
C.S. Lewis

Well.... that's the only book I finished reading last month. After I finished The last battle, I started reading, A Storm of Swords, by George R.R. Martin. That was a chunky book. All 1,177 pages. Well, I didn't finish it until last week, so it will be counted as my first book I read in 2014.

Which reminds me....

I will be taking the GoodReads Reading Challenge again this year. I'm raised my goal a little higher this year. In 2013 my goal was to read 30 books. I ended up reading 40 books. So this year my goal is 42 books. I hope I can do it!

Wish me luck!

I DID IT!!!!

On December 6, 2013 around 7pm I made my 1,000 sale!!!

YIPPPPEEEEE!!!!!

I'm currently at 1,018 sales! This holiday season as been the best for my little etsy shop.

There is still time to shop and have your items sent out before Christmas!

GoodReads 2013 Reading Challenge - November

As you can tell, I've been super busy this month. My last post was on November 1st. Yikes. I need to get back at this blog.

Well, it's that time again. Here is what I read for the moth of November:

Allegiant
Veronica Roth

Orange is the New Black
Piper Kerman

I also started reading the 3rd Game of Thrones book. I going to try and finish that next month, but that's going to be a challenge. It's a monster of a book, 1,177 pages. And I'm currently on page 167. 

I've read 39 books so far this year! My goal was 30! Go me! 

GoodReads 2013 Reading Challenge - October

It's time for my goodreads book challenge update.

Here is what I read in the month of October.

The Horse and His Boy
C.S. Lewis

A Clash of Kings
George R.R. Martin

The Magician's Nephew
C.S Lewis

I'm up to 37 books read so far this year! (My goal was 30)

I'm still read Les Miserables. I took about a 5 month break from it, but I picked it up again. I'm 16% done.

The book I'm currently reading is Allegiant, by Veronica Roth. The last book in the Divergent series. I'm over half done and all I can say is... "meh." I'm not impressed. 

Super Mom...

I put the kids to bed by myself tonight. It was interesting. Chloe kept asking "Where's Daddy?" I told her she will see him in the morning. I'm hope she doesn't wake up at 5am. She didn't take a nap today, so I'm hoping she sleeps for a solid 12 hours. 

I feel like Super Mom.

And this Super Mom is EXHAUSTED. 

Etsy Update
