Virtual Book Lovers Clubs

Yesterday, I wrote about social media and how it was nice to have a parenting community. Today, it’s all about books! I love reading – I can easily spend days and days reading and not get sick of it. When I was a kid (well..honestly, now too), I would get so lost in a bookContinue reading “Virtual Book Lovers Clubs”

Unconventional Relationship

Sometimes I like to reflect on my relationship with the mister – we’ve been together over a dozen years now. I love our relationship, and I think it’s because we go against a lot of what society says should be.

I’ve never really been interested, since I figured my family hasn’t really had a great mix of ethnicities in our background. But, my sister decided to do the 23 and me one. I figure, her results wouldContinue reading ““You might’ve been switched at birth””

ISFJ – Defender/Protector

So, I always have mixed feelings about personality tests/leadership theories. It’s always useful to do self reflection, but i think leadership theories and advice should always be taken with caution. Stone things work better with certain personalities in certain industries and environments then others. Anyways, one of the ones I’ve taken is the Myers-Briggs test.Continue reading “ISFJ – Defender/Protector”
