{2014: my year of living like Martha}

So, I've read/watched this:

...and I've read this:

...and I've started cooking my way through this (but stopped out of laziness):

With a new year and my 30th birthday around the corner, I feel like I want to have my very own year-long challenge. So, I will take these last few days of  December 2013 to get myself ready, and enjoy Christmas with our loved ones. My adventure begins on January 1st. I will be cooking Martha's recipes, crafting Martha's...crafts, and generally following her guidelines for living. All while trying to (finally) become a mom and upgrade us to a slightly larger home.

{reading. watching. listening.}

what I'm reading:

 

I've actually just finished Austenland. It was more of a suspense than I was expecting...but then, I didn't really read the synopsis. It was a good story, not amazing, but entertaining. As for Miss Dickinson's life and letters, I'm only on chapter 2 or 3, so I'll keep you posted ;)

what I'm watching:

I curled up in bed with my sweet dogs and a hot cup of tea and loved every minute of this. One of my all-time favorite novels. The actual documentary is on netflix and a little over an hour in length. enjoy.

what I'm listening to:

Grace Potter & the Nocturnals
I stopped at the park near home after work and while I watched the ducks and the fountains, I streamed this goodness on iheartradio.
