New Year - New Blog

https://churchleaders-eszuskq0bptlfh8awbb.stackpathdns.com/wp-content/uploads/files/article_images/10_tips_for_a_small_group_makeover_174730353.jpg

Not only did I change the name of the blog but the theme as well. I am going to be working on getting everything updated, moved around and changed as soon as possible. I would love to hear any kind of feedback whether it be good or bad. You can either comment here or send a message via my Facebook page Read 'n Reviews.

The Read N' Reviews Facebook Group is currently reading

The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo by Steig Larson.

If you are interested in reading along come join, it's never too late. One great thing about the group is that you don't have to do the read along at the same time. The book discussion can happen at anytime (you just might have to scroll to find a specific book). I will try to put a link with the book on the Book Reviews page once it's finished. New reads will start every month.

Where to go from here?

I am finding that I am spending most of my spare time reading or posting on my Facebook Page & in my FB group about my reading and neglecting my blog. Since I don't have that much interaction on this blog, I am changing it to a book blog instead of just a "bit of everything" blog. I may still post random tidbits now and then, but I feel that this is the right direction for my blog. Here's to my New Year, new blog.

The Most Wonderful Time of Year (or is it?)

http://www.air-tan.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Most-wonderful-time.png

Christmas use to be my favorite time of year and I'd go all out crazy decorating with my totes and boxes of Christmas decorations. I thought having a little one would make me even more in the Christmas spirit. The 1st Christmas was great and I looked forward to her getting older and understanding what was going on. Unfortunately, there was some personal issues last year that made Christmas hard to get through and now this year I keep thinking back. My daughter is 3 so I'm really trying to put all my sadness in a bottle and focus on her excitement, which there is a lot of!

I never had Christmas traditions growing up and so I've started some that I hope to continue every year. The first one is Christmas books. I love reading and so far, my daughter is following along in my "book" prints. So I wrapped 23 Christmas books and put them in a basket under the tree. Each night before bed she gets to choose one to unwrap and have read. On Christmas Eve she will get a gift with Christmas PJ's, a Christmas movie and popcorn.

What kind of Christmas Traditions did you have growing up?

Do you still do any of them today?
