- Kingdom Keepers books 6 & 7 by Ridley Pearson
- totally juvenile fiction - however, if you are a Disney lover you should probably just read this series
- Movies
- Frozen (yes, I know it came out in 2013 but really we watched it more than I care to admit in 2014)

- Big Bang Theory
- Still love this show
- Bones
- I realize this came out years ago, however, I am finally catching onto the wonderfulness of the whole thing
- Grey's Anatomy
- we are a season behind because we watch it on Netflix
- Call the Midwife
- I LOVE this series and wish there were 12,000,001 episodes - its on PBS.com and free to watch - go watch it
- Game of Thrones
- We stumbled upon this tv series after we caught up on Downton Abbey and ran out of seasons on dvd
- Several friends recommended it to us - while a bit graphic and the language leaves something to be desired, we surprisingly like it
- Miscellaneous Things
- Nikon D300
- I have fallen more and more in love with this camera this year, while actually using it quite a bit more and learning a ton about the different settings
- Pilot Frixion Ball Clicker erasable pens
- I found a few of these pens randomly in the church - who knows who left them and actually bought a pack of them - I LOVE erasable pens
- I Love This Yarn
- still by far one of my favorite yarns
- okay I actually have other favorite yarns - however, this one I find wonderful in terms of price vs quality vs softness
- I hate that it is only sold at Hobby Lobby and Hobby Lobby online
- I don't like yarn shopping online - I like to hold the yarn in my hands
- The Project Life App

- WORTH purchasing
- If you use your iPhone to take pictures and create photobooks it is worth getting this app - I LOVE IT
