Coffee Conversations with a Purple Girl
In Frosty the Snowman, the first snow of Christmas is magical because it falls on Christmas Eve. While the idea of magical Christmas Eve snow is nice, I hate to think of a whole Christmas season without any snow to boost the Christmas spirit. I knew it was supposed to snow today, but I don’t know […]
Good morning friends! We’re back from a lovely vacation to Presque Isle in Erie, PA. This was basically a recreation of my childhood vacations, because I don’t actually know how to vacation else where, apparently. When we were thinking about doing a trip for our anniversary, naturally the first thing that popped into my head […]
Good morning, friends! Today is the day! Logan and I are heading out on our big anniversary get away! And by “big get away” I mean we’re going up to Lake Erie for a couple days to hang out. It seemed like a much bigger vacation when I was a kid, but seeing as my […]
I didn’t mean to binge watch the whole thing yesterday, but I did. Well, not the whole thing, I started Anne with an “E” the day before, watching the first two episodes before going out to grab my husband. But the whole thing minus two episodes is still like five episodes and that’s a lot of […]
Recently Netflix released it’s very own adaptation of Anne of Green Gables, called Anne with an “E”. As a huge Anne fan I, naturally, have many mixed feelings about this. While Netflix has a pretty good track record with its original series thus far, Anne is sacred and demands nothing less than absolute perfection. I haven’t started […]
Guys, I have a confession to make. I bought more books yesterday. I know I don’t actually, physically need them, but I had to buy them anyway. It was important to me. I only bought two, though. I didn’t even look in the Young Adult section, to keep me safe from the temptation of other […]
This morning I was scrolling through Facebook and came across a recommended video about Bomba socks. They’re a sock company that decided to make really good socks so that they could sell a lot of them and donate an equal amount to what they sold. Socks are the least donated article of clothing to homeless […]
My little cousin turned eleven this year. I’ll admit, it took me a while to accept the fact that it’s been almost eleven years since I walked her around the yard to keep her from screaming. Once I came to grips with the my own mortality and the fact that I’m becoming that person who […]
Happy St. Patrick’s Day, dear friends! As a human who’s very mixed heritage is mostly Irish, this day meant a lot to me growing up. What started as a genuine celebration of the life of Ireland’s first missionary, has become a celebration of just being Irish, really, and an excuse from those who enjoy over indulging […]
I remember watching the news just to see if there was school tomorrow. I remember scanning the schools as they scrolled across the bottom of the screen, hoping that mine would be there. There’s really nothing like a snow day, especially when you’re a kid and you have a big hill to sled on. It’s […]
