This past semester was a whirlwind of change and sadness and joy. In August, I accepted a new position as the Student Outreach Librarian at Paul Smith’s College nestled in the Adirondacks of upstate New York. I have to say that it has got to be the most beautiful campus on earth. I can see […]

Off to Portland for ACRL 2015!
In a few short hours, I’ll be heading to Portland, Oregon for the 2015 Academic College and Research Libraries (ACRL) conference! I’ve never been to ACRL, so I’m super pumped and somewhat overwhelmed. Lucky for me, I’m going to be staying with a pretty awesome librarian blogging over at Librarian for Life & Style, so keep […]
Help me pick new glasses!
I need some new glasses, so I decided to try out Warby Parker’s home try-on program. Haven’t heard of it? Well, it’s this really awesome thing where you pick out 5 pairs of glasses from their website, and then they send them to you for free and you get to test them out at home 🙂 […]
The day I went to a makeup store
This weekend, I did something I’ve never done: I walked into Ulta and asked questions. Now, I’ve always had a kind of fondness for makeup – I even get Ipsy monthly, but I can never really get myself into a routine, and to be honest, whenever I wear it I feel like I’m pretending to be […]
High Five for Friday
Holy cow it’s FRIDAY, and this week has been equal parts absolutely awesome and absolutely insane. The Fall semester is in full swing, and sometimes I find it hard to think of my top 5 really great things of any given week, but I’m going to do my best. I know I haven’t posted a […]
Backyard chickens: How to know they’re right for you
If you’re anything like me, you have a pretty healthy obsession and you’ve already done a ton of research deciding whether you should take the plunge on backyard chicken-ing. I mean, I’m a librarian, so I’m excepted to do research and this weekend, I got to participate in some fieldwork of sorts by chicken-sitting for […]
High Five for Friday
Hey oh – it’s Friday! It’s also the last Friday before all the students arrive back to campus, and right now it’s so quiet. I’m going to kind of miss the peace I’ve had this summer – well, if you count 6 weeks of it on maternity leave 😉 Anyway, since the semester is starting up soon, […]
How to keep your succulents alive
I live in a semi-arid climate in the Texas Panhandle. I rather enjoy the landscape, I want to emulate the beauty of the outdoors, indoors, and I’ve found that succulents help do just that. They just look so great in the kitchen or office, though I’m biased because that’s exactly where I keep mine 😉 For […]
Haenn Family Visit
New babies bring family visits, and luckily this weekend we got to host Jason’s side of the family– finally! Wren was chipper as ever and loved meeting her little cousins, while Ava was thrilled to play mini-hostess. Everyone (i.e. Jason’s twin brother, sister-in-law, 2 nephews, niece, dad, and dad’s girl friend) rolled in Friday night to […]
High Five for Friday
Woohoo–It’s finally Friday, and I feel like I’ve had a really productive week, which is going to make this weekend that much sweeter. Here’s a look at some of my top moments this week: 1. Jason’s family is coming to visit us from Pennsylvania TODAY! We’ve been living in Texas now for 2 years, and this […]
