Throwback Thursday: Cherishing Memories and Digitized Moments

Throwback Thursday: Cherishing Memories and Digitized Moments

Oh boy, am I so thankful for this little corner of the internet and all the updates I’ve shared here through the years. Even though I lost a huge chunk of my content when I switched hosts back in 2012, I’m still so grateful for the memories I managed to preserve.  

Being able to look back at certain photos from my childhood and have them digitized makes my heart so happy. There's something magical about revisiting these snapshots of the past—each one tells a story, brings back a smile, or reminds me of a simpler time.  

So, without further ado, here’s my first Throwback Thursday post of the year: a randomly curated collection of moments that hold a special place in my heart.

We decided to try two classic pizzas—the Margherita and Pepperoni—and opted for the personal-sized versions. Let me tell you, even though the personal size might sound small, it was more than enough, and we still had leftovers to enjoy later!

Starting 2025 with Atomic Habits

Starting 2025 with Atomic Habits

For my first book of 2025, I wanted to choose something that would set a positive tone for the year ahead. As someone who’s all about creating habits and routines, I knew I needed a read that would inspire and motivate me to take action.

While browsing the personal growth section at my local Barnes & Noble, one book instantly caught my eye: Atomic Habits by James Clear. After reading the synopsis, I knew it was the perfect choice to kick off my year.

What is Atomic Habits About?
Atomic Habits offers a proven system for building good habits and breaking bad ones. The core idea is simple yet transformative: lasting change begins with shifting your identity. Your current habits are a reflection of who you are, and by redefining that identity, you can create meaningful and lasting changes in your life.

I’m so excited to dive into this book (that you can find on Amazon), apply its principles, and build habits that will shape my year in the best way possible.

What about you? What’s the first book on your reading list for 2025? Let me know in the comments—I’m always looking for great recommendations!
