I used to write a monthly blog about the things I learned each month. I decided to do something similar this year and call it Monthly Reflections. Just a chance to reflect on the month and all that it taught me. In January I learned that... It's Okay If My Quiet Time Is Not Quiet This month one of my goals was to wake up and spend time with Jesus before Jackson woke up. Um, it's winter in Michigan and my sleep schedule is so off. We seem to stay up super later and sleep in most Continue Reading
Jennifer Reads {January 2023}
I've kicked off a new year of reading and I'm feeling good about my book choices. I finished six books this month and quit three. Yep, I'm not wasting time on books I don't love. If they don't have me hooked pretty quickly, I'm dropping them. I would rather read fewer, great books than more mediocre ones. Here's what I've been reading lately...

2022 Reading Recap and Five Star Favorites
With two hours and 45 minutes to spare, I met my 2022 reading goal! 75 books complete! The last week of December I finished Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt I didn't think I would enjoy a book where one of the main characters is an octopus. It's not a book I would typically choose, but it was such a popular pick in this year. This is a beautiful story about unexpected friendships and healing. I loved Marcellus (the Octopus)! I am so glad I gave this book a Continue Reading
