KansasMama's Blog.

  New things and reasoning.      Hi... I realized that I wanted to give the blog a whole new way of what I write about and what I do. I used to do random here and there post but now I want to focus on book reviews as well as things that I do with my bullet journal to help others understand bullet journaling. Get to know me.       Well if your new here let me tell you about myself. I'm from Kansas and I have 2 beautiful children. I'm currently engaged to the person who is not only my other half but my soulmate. I graduated from college in 2023 with a degree in Mass Media. What is Mass Media you ask? Well it's everything that is around you. It's movies, television, books, blogs, advertising, and so much more. I originally went to school for nursing but I took one class and that's when I found my calling in Mass Media. In that class I was able to be creative and be myself. I was able to let my emotions out in ways that I always did just be able to fi...

2025 Goals So with the new year starting I want to talk about what goals I have set for myself this year. I've put it into different sections of my life.

  Title: The Highland Kiss By: Amy McGavin Theme: Romance Plot: Emily gets stood up at the altar and take a month vacation away from London to a small-town in the Scottish Highlands called Bannock. While on her vacation, she ends up not only finding love with Ally but finds out her passion and herself all again. Thoughts: I absolutely loved this book. The relationship between Ally and Emily makes me think about how the relationship is between my fiancé and myself. The banter between all the characters and the description of the scenery make me feel like I am there with the characters!  Rating: 4.5/5 ⭐ I only took a half a start away from the rating because it took me a little bit to get into the reading and fully immerse myself into the book.

So recently I started reading books more. I'm thinking about making a thing on here about my reviews of the books and my true thoughts about what I truly think about the book. I think that reading is not only good for the mind but for mental health as well. When I'm reading I feel like I'm going to a whole new world inside of my head, yes almost like the island from the movie Inside Out. To me I always thought that you had to be super smart to be a reader but now as an adult I think totally different. Also, with the book reviews I want to do a TBR (To Be Read) list on here just to show what I do have in either my Kindle app or my Apple books, even physical books. Right. Now I can’t believe how long it is and that’s mainly because I do Stuff your kindle events and I’m always looking at books at stores and such. Having my TBR in a way to show that you aren’t alone in having a big TBR and many of us readers tend to have a long one. I will also put in a D...
