I’m bringing you a little bit of a different post today. I wanted to talk about all the things I have for Maggie, my cat, that make life just a little bit easier. If you don’t know, I have a cat. She’s about 2 years old, and I’ve had her for a little over a year. She’s the most amazing thing that’s ever happened to me, and I love her with my whole heart. For starters, my cat loves to play fetch, so even though I waste all my money on toys for her, her favorite toy is hair ties she steals from my bathroom counter. I also have two…
Top 5 Books From Required Reading Lists
Even though I’ve always loved reading, getting through a required reading list in school was always a struggle for me. Typically, I always read the books, but some books were harder to get through than others. Some of my favorite required reading was actually in a introduction to literature class I took during my senior year of school.

The Boxcar Children by Gertrude Warner These were some of the first books I remember reading in my reading groups in first grade. I would check them out in batches of five…
Treasure Tuesday
1. I just finished the graphic novel “Blankets” by Craig Thompson. If you’ve never read a graphic novel, I highly suggest picking this one up. It was extremely well done and very inspirational. 2. 3. Last week was Big/Little week for my sorority, and I had SO much fun surprising my two littles throughout the week with gifts, candy, and more. I am so happy they are a part of my AXO family! 4. Find out if you were truly a bookworm in the 90s with this Buzzfeed quiz. I got “Reading Master,” and I don’t think much has changed since then. 5. I filmed with a GoPro for the first…
