2024 Favorites

Hi friends — Happy Friday and New Year 2025! I hope you had the best holiday season, however you celebrated! I can’t believe it’s my last official day off work before I’m back to the office on Monday. Talk about the Sunday Scaries — I’ve got the Weekend Jitters haha. It’s tough. As much as I want to get back into some kind of normalcy and routine, I’m just not ready for my two week holiday break to be over and done — mega sigh! Anyway… in the spirit of “Friday Favorites” (which I’m committing to bring back to the blog in 2025), today I’m sharing a list of my favorite things from 2024. I always enjoy reading these kinds of posts from other creators, so I thought it’d be fun to wrap up a list of my own this year. From music to books to lots of miscellaneous products, I found myself with quite an array of things to love in 2024 — many things that brightened my days and made life a little bit sweeter when I needed it most.

Weekly Recap: Sabrina Carpenter's Short 'n Sweet Tour & Other Happenings

Though it’s not yet consistently cold outside, the temperatures around here are pretty erratic at the moment. As such, of course our HVAC unit went out during one of the cold spells. It took a few weeks to get it up and running, but we have AC and heat again — rejoice! I bought a heated blanket last year and I’ve been living underneath it almost every night. It’s so cozy!

November 2024 Book Club Pick: The Midnight Feast by Lucy Foley

Guess what friends? I (finally) started a virtual book club — my FIRST ever book club — and I couldn’t be more excited! Because I love talking books and book opinions with others (no two people read a book with the same perspective), I wanted to bring together a group of book lovers to (very casually) bond over books. With the popularity of reading blowing up over the last several years, so many people are reading books again and that’s so great to see!

10 Books On My Fall Reading List

Happy fall reading season! Though I’m a serial mood reader, I love, love, love creating a fall reading list. There’s something about fall/spooky season that brings out my desire to read books that represent (or kind of represent) the vibe of the season. For the next few months, catch me curled on the couch with a good book, a hot coffee (or a chai latte like I’m sipping now), a sweatshirt, and a big comfy blanket (always). Believe me, I WILL turn the air conditioning down to achieve prime fall cozy. Last year, I read every book on my fall reading list — let’s see if the same results are in the cards this time around! I’ve got thrillers, mysteries, and romances queued up! Here’s a list of 10 books I’m hoping to read this fall.
