Month in Review - January 2014

Hello,

Today is the first proper “Month in Review” posts from me, I have posted these in the past but none of them are quite like my new version. I hope you have enjoyed my new and improved look of the blog, along with the new name. I hope you have enjoyed January as much as I have! Time has just flown by already!

 These posts are in no particular order!

 

Iced Coffee –

I really enjoyed this post

 

A Beautiful Mess Book Club – January –

I loved the fact I had a book that I had to finish by the end of the month. Also the book that was picked is not my usual type that I would pick up in the book store or purchase on my kindle, but I’m really glad I joined! You can see my review of this book here.

 

 

Fact File – Octopus –

I really enjoyed sharing this post with you, even I when writing and researching for this post found out new stuff about Octopuses that I didn’t even know!

 

Mixed Berry Jam -  

I loved sharing my personal mixed berry jam recipe! There’s not a lot of it left in our house just now, next adventure with preserves will hopefully be Marmalade, which I will of course share on here!

 

Queen of Crafts by Jazz Domino Holly –

I really was happy with the way this post was written, I really enjoyed reading the book also! There will be a lot more craft book reviews like this in upcoming months.

Photo an Hour –

This is hard! I keep forgetting that every hour I needed to take a photo of what I was up to. I took these photographs on a weekend, as none of you want to see me every hour taking photographs at my desk whilst I am at my day job.

So that is my first proper “Month in Review” you will see this post pop up again at the beginning of March to display my favourites from February.

 

New to me TV this month:

Justified

Cake Boss
Wonderfalls

 

Music I’ve been listening to this month:

The Shins – Oh Inverted World album

Nickelback – Here and Now album
Paramore – Paramore album
Man Man – Oni Pond
The Smiths – Greatest Hits
Sparklehorse - Dark Night of the Soul

Goals update:

·         I am four books down out of my fifteen for the year, I am obviously reading pretty quick this year, seeing as I read only twelve books for the whole of last year which I thought was pretty good going for me!

·         50 movies – ten down! This goal is pretty easy for Noble and I seeing as we watch a lot of movies! I’m quite interested to see how many films we actually do watch in a year! I will be keeping note all year round.

·         Recipes, I am two down out of ten for the year! Which is better than my one recipe I carried out in 2013 which was making my mixed berry jam!

·         Drink more water, this is definitely happening.

·         Stopping smoking, this is going very well also.

 

 

Thank you for reading.

Katy
