This is my third month writing this monthly recap blog and I love the chance it gives me to reflect back and remember the good times, the challenges and the best memories to hold onto. Every month, I have been looking at lessons learned and how to carry those forward into the new month. This month, I am not only looking back but setting some goals for April for myself.

The Stories We Tell-Book Review
It has been a long time since I have written a book review or report but after reading this one by Joanna Gaines, I felt compelled to write an honest review. The timeliness with International Women’s Day just happened to coincide but is so appropriate for this one and the message.
