Musings :: Moments :: Memories
June wasn’t the most productive month for reading, thanks to the disruption of having the house decorated—paint tins, ladders, and the constant hum of activity aren’t exactly conducive to getting lost in a good book. On top of that, I hit a bit of a general lull; the kind where you pick up your Kindle… Continue reading June Reading

I had so much fun making my 2019 Project Life album last year so I definitely want to make another one for 2020 this year. I have enough supplies for at least one more year, I think and then after that, I will need to see what size albums and pocket pages I can get… Continue reading Memory keeping in 2025
Following on from my review of the 24 things I wanted to do in 2024, I have put together my list for 2025. As you can see, these are all tangible things that can be achieved. These things are not habits; habits are not easy to measure, or to tick off so therefore I am… Continue reading 25 in 2025

Since I have a deadline to make this decision, it makes it even more all-consuming in terms of my thoughts. As such, bedtime has become a real issue. I struggle to relax at bedtime as it… Continue reading *Sighs in burnout*
