Hygge: the other white meat Hygge: the best thing out of Denmark since those cookies Hygge: The funnest sounding word you’ll say today I first was introduced to hygge when we saw Frozen on Broadway. The show was incredible. As is the norm, there was a bit of a plot adjustment for the live show, as well as a whole…

Why You Should Actually Read The Alchemist


Hey, Shorties! I recently read The Alchemist. I had a brief discussion with a friend who had a negative reaction to the book. She really poo-poo-ed it, which I can appreciate as everyone is entitled to their opinion, and it really kind of cracked me up because I was in the middle of it, and already thoroughly enjoying it! For…

What I’ve Learned So Far


Hi Shorties! I started becoming ĂĽber reflective of life probably about a year ago, coinciding with that major life change. I didn’t think it would be such a big deal because I had wanted to a SAHM for a long time, so finally achieving that goal seemed like it would be a no-brainer for me.  But, alas, I found myself…

When it snows, I get a little reflective :) www.theshortesttallman.com

When It Snows


I get pretty jazzed up when we get a major weather event. Our major weather events aren’t usually very major comparatively; in Upstate New York, our major events rarely involve something catastrophic like a hurricane or a tornado. We rarely get earthquakes, and when we do they aren’t really noticeable, not that that’s weather. I am a bit of a…

Desire Mapping (January 14)


How do you want to feel? I’m working on my Desire Map. What on earth is that, you might ask? It’s a different take on New Year’s Resolutions by Danielle LaPorte, a book you will find in the Self-Help section of Barnes & Noble. The subtitle of The Desire Map states, “A Guide To Creating Goals With Soul,” and on the…

Know Thyself (January 9)


Introverts have come into light recently. It’s like they’re the underdogs in our abrasive world, and they’re really the ones that have engineered everything. I read Quiet by Susan Cain, or I suppose skimmed it because it was for a book study I did when I was working. I found it very interesting, and I also found myself trying to identify…
