A Book Challenge

I have a problem....

A mountain of them, to be exact. 

I love to read. And there lies my problem. I see so many good books out there and feel compelled to buy them! All of them. 

So needless to say, I'm way behind on my reading. My excitement for these books have gotten the better of me. And that's not including all the books that are living on my Kindle. Ha! 

AND a lot of these books are a part of a series, so that means more books in the future. 

Anyone else have a problem that's similar? Or anyone else just love to read and up for a little challenge? 

I'm going to challenge myself to read 2-4 books per month. Depending on the speed of your reading will determine how many books you can do. So, if you know you read fast, then lets go with 3-4 and if you read a little slower then shoot for 2 per month. 

If you're up for it, then comment below so I know who's all with me and with the number of books you're challenging yourself to read each month. We could form our own little book club so to speak. Keep each other accountable!

It's time for some serious reading to go down! So pick up your first book and lets go!

Blogging and Vlogging and Bears, Oh My!

Another Blog?

So, if you've just happened to stumple upon this blog, well...you are in for a treat! Ok, maybe not. 

My first order of business will be me telling you a little about myself. I'm going to keep things fairly simple as not to bore you. My name is Laura (as you probably noticed from the blog title) and I am a 32 yr old wife to my amazing husband, Nathanael. We actually have our 7 year anniversary coming up in January. I'm also a stay at home mom to three beautiful children. Noah, my oldest is 9. Preston will be 4 on Sunday, and the baby of the family is Imogen (pronounced like Emma-gin) and she's a year and a half. The keep me very busy to say the least! 

I'm one of the worship leaders at my church. I sing and play the keyboard. Music is definitely my passion and its what God's called me to do. 

I've been a Scentsy consultant since January of 2010. So...if you need any..look no further! 

Visit my Scentsy site here.

And I've recently signed up as a coach with BeachBody and I'm loving it! 

My websites there are: www.beachbodycoach.com/lauraleigh80

Some hobbies that I love are writing, reading, singing, playing keyboard, home decorating, DIY projects, shopping, and Pinteresting (haha!). I love everything about makeup and have an obscene amount! I also love accessorizing and my jewelry collection is expanding far quicker than my husband is comfortable with. I'm a total girl! 

I've entertained thoughts of starting a blog before but my lack of knowledge about the blog world stopped me. Like I mentioned, I love writing, and a goal of mine is to eventually write a book. I've worked on a couple before through out the years. Maybe one day!  What brought me here today was actually my friend (and coach from BeachBody), Marlena. She encouraged me to start this blog to track my fitness progress to help inspire and encourage others. (There will be another post coming that specifically addresses my fitness goals, progress, and so forth). So that's what I'm doing. But I plan to post other things as well, not just fitness. 

So, with that, I invite you to come on this little journey with me as I share with you little pieces of my life! 

Until my next post..... Peace out!
