I’ve added a new category to post in, called “Living in a Material World.”  (And yes, it is a reference to the Madonna song.)

In this category I will share some of my favorite “things.” The posts in this category will focus on shopping, fashion, and beauty products as well as other great ideas for gifts. Books are often favorite items for me to give (and receive) as gifts, so be assured that there will still be plenty of posts about books, reading, and writing in this category.  

I do believe it is true that money can’t buy happiness…but sometimes it certainly can buy things that make us pretty darn happy! It is just really important to remember not to get too carried away when it comes to material things…that being said, there are just some things that we have to have and this is the perfect place to talk and write about them!
