New Year's Resolutions and Recommendations

 
This year I'm planning to spend more time reading. Reading novels, but especially my Bible. I have read the Bible through three times, but have failed the last two years. I really need to redeem myself this year! So, I have a new book to help me through called Table Talk. 

Table Talk is a Ligonier Ministries monthly magazine which includes daily devotions and also the reading to be done each day! Here is a sample page: 

 

Using this and my Bible, I can have a great year! 

 

Reading for fun, is always one of my enjoyments. Some of my favorites are the classics especially Jane Austen novels. The day after Christmas, I stopped into Anthropology to look at the deals. In the clearance section, I spied these beautiful Jane Austin novels, "Emma" and "Sense and Sensibility". 
 

I was ecstatic, because I was in the middle of "Emma". (In fact I still am 😀). I just love the beautiful prints and colors of them, plus they were on a great sale and hardback! They were a win win! 

 

Another resolution for this year, is my violin. I have played the violin for nine years. This year I really want to improve more quickly, I have lots of new repertoire that I need to learn quickly. Such as this: 

 

This Bach Corrente has some difficult chords, anyway I really want to improve this year. 

Finally, I want to improve in blogging. I had these blog for a whole summer and only posted twice. This is why now I've created an instagram and I'm going to post more! Here I'm going to include a peek at my next post. 



Hope you've enjoyed this post.

Life Update

Hey all,
I haven't posted in ages, but I'd like to start to again. I have been so busy in school this year. I am so thankful that this semester is nearly over! I hope to start uploading some preppy Christmas outfits soon, so look for those. I hope that I am able to post more in the future. I've had a great, but busy year this year. I have played my violin "to death." In fact, I had three concerts and a recital this week, I have a gig and another concert next week. I'm so exhausted, but grateful for these experiences I have had this semester. I hope ya'll have had a great semester! I have three ways to  improve your exam experience coming up soon! I also have some blog recommendations. Check out, http://dailydoseofpreppy.blogspot.com/ and http://dailydoseofpreppy.blogspot.com/. These are my two favorite blogs and I also follow their instagrams. I hope to get an instagram soon to update my OOTDs and to update when I post. I hope to make this blog more accessible and interesting. If any of ya'll have any ideas for posts or how I can make it more accessible, please comment below!
Thanks ya'll, ]
Sally
