I figure we all may have a little extra time at home and at some point Netflix binging will get old. I gathered up a few of my quick and easy reads below. I really love entrepreneurship books, leadership books, mom books and home books. Are those even genres? I don't know, but I like my books like I like my TV, light and heartfelt. I haven't really gotten into any non-fiction because I'm quite sensible and really like to learn and collects facts when I read. I don't take life too seriously and I love to just be real (hence our tag line "REAL life, REAL design"). I love to learn and I love to be inspired so these books have been fun and easy reads. Let me know if you have read any of these!
A Simplified Life, When Less Becomes More and Grace, Not Perfection by Emily Ley
Oh. how I love me some Emily Ley. Seriously, she has the minimalist thing down! If you've been around a while you know I'm passionate about family and minimizing the chaos. Saying "no" to make room for the most awe-inspiring "YES" is my jam. I'm also very practical so Emily speaks my language. These 3 books will all inspire you to focus on the important things and let go of everything else. Also, really great if you're looking to tidy up at home right now.

I mean anything with Gaines in it and I'm in. Now you add some business to that mix and I'm sold. I actually bought this book for my hubby because he reminds me a little of good ol' Chip. But, it ended up on my nightstand and I thought it was a great quick and easy read.
Ok, so I'm not even done with this one yet, but if you need a kick in the tushy this is it! I started this before I made some big business decisions and Lindsay really helped me put my big girl panties on. The exclamation point is not there on accident, just sayin'. ;)
Ok, I haven't even read this yet, haha. But, everyone tells me it's super good so I added it to my library. I REALLY wish I would have purchased it on audiobook, but I was so ambitious and thought I could get through it on our vacation to Costa Rica. I was wrong.
If you have been intrigued by the Enneagram test, this is the book for you. Really learned a lot about my personality and my husband's. It felt kinda like a handbook with quick lists and descriptions to refer back to over time.
Let me know what you think of this list! Have you read any of these? Any other recommendations? I would love to grow my Audible library! If you're not already on Audible it's really great if you're a busy body and like to multi-task. I find myself listening to Audible when I'm driving or cleaning the house. For a monthly fee you get book credits. You can also share a book with others and return books you aren't happy with! It's helped grow my love for "reading".




Studying famous buildings london teaches learners about both traditional and modern construction methods. The College of Contract Management offers programmes that emphasise practical skills and real-world knowledge. Students gain insights from iconic architecture examples. Many have applied this knowledge to real construction projects.
Engineering solutions can be viewed differently if you have a greater understanding of construction details. One particularly notable connector that allows for free movement and promotes balance and rotation is the pivot joint. Its use with movable arms and legs demonstrates how support and mobility complement one another. Understanding the concept is facilitated by observing analogous motion in the human body. Gaining an understanding of these mechanics can help you tackle design problems more effectively. Courses offered by UNICCM walk you through these concepts step-by-step. Getting involved is a great way to boost your technical confidence.
Understanding equations develops a strong foundation in mathematics. UNICCM highlights their use in solving algebraic and scientific problems. Practicing equations enhances precision and analytical thinking. Students learn to approach challenges systematically. UNICCM provides step-by-step exercises to reinforce learning.
Year 11 Religious Education at UNICCM emphasizes the importance of charity, compassion, and service to others. By examining religious teachings on helping those in need, students are encouraged to take an active role in addressing social inequality and contributing to the well-being of others.
The online platform of the College of Contract Management delivers more than academic content by placing emphasis on social responsibility. Within its lectures, the mental health act code of practice is presented to show how policy affects decision-making in construction and management. This insight strengthens the connection between classroom study and workplace reality.
