Morning Thoughts
Hello everyone! It’s Mattie. Amelia and I talk a lot about seeing the beauty in our everyday lives on this blog. We don’t really talk about the darkness that makes looking for the light so important. I wrote a little “poem”, if you will, and I wanted to share it with you. These words aren’t answers, or comfort, or encouragement. These words are merely a baring of my heart, the echoes of feelings I’ve had for a while. I don’t know if they make a whole lot of sense, I’m not a poet, and they don’t really go together, but here they are. When darkness falls and silence reigns, I’m…

Historical Fiction Reading Vlog | Reading On a Time Crunch

We thought it would be kind of interesting to film ourselves during a busy weekend and show how we pushed ourselves to read a little bit more! Thanks for watching! – Amelia and Mattie Grace

A Beautiful Book to Add to Your TBR
Hello everyone, it’s Mattie! It’s been raining a lot lately, so for my post this week, I thought I would recommend a nice cozy book to read during the stormy weather. The book is Thorn by Intisar Kahnani. I read this last fall and introduced it a little in our Fall TBR video, but basically, this book is a retelling of the fairytale The Goose Girl. I have never actually read the original Goose Girl story, but I have read quite a few retellings. This one is my favorite by far. The story starts out with the main character Alyrra who is the princess of a small country in a…
