2018 Book Review- Part one

In today's post, I wanted to share a 2018 'check-in.' Research says, the average person gives up on their New Year's resolution by the end of January. As part of my New Year's resolutions, I set a goal to read a book a week. So far... we are 10 weeks into the new year and I'm currently reading my 10th book. Although I'm on track, there has been a week or two, where I spent my evenings doing other things (TV is such a distractor) and I had to play catch up on the weekend.  At this point in the year, I've had to make some adjustments to enforcing a better nighttime routine, technology free, to help me stay true to fulfilling my New Year's resolution. 

Additionally, I thought it would be fun to share with y'all some book reviews. I LOVE hearing what books you've read and enjoyed trying out some new books; all 5 books reviewed in today's post were recommendations! So, on that note, if you have a recommendation be sure to comment on my latest Instagram post or send me a quick message!

Y'all have just been so sweet. Since announcing our engagement, last fall, I've received an overwhelming amount of questions and comments about the wedding planning process and I'm so happy to finally start answering them all. I do apologize I was previously so "hush, hush" about the wedding planning prior to our actual wedding; but, B and I put a lot of thought into every decision we made and we really wanted it to be a surprise for all of our guests on the actual day and in my opinion it was totally worth it!
