The Lit Girl.

My friend Courtney (remember our book club?) recently started a new blog called The Lit Girl. It's a place all bibliophiles should all hang out. She recently started a featured reader series that I am so excited about! In her words:

When I was first dreaming up this blog, one of my main goals was to bring readers together. I am always incredibly curious about what people are reading, where they read, and how they read. I'm that weirdo on the train craning my neck to catch a glimpse of the cover someone is reading across from me. It's my way to break the ice with strangers. I wanted to use this blog partially as a fun place to share the reading habits of others, since I am sure there are people out there just as curious as I am.

I love that! I was honored when she asked me to be a featured reader (especially since Joanna Goddard was the introduction to the series). 

Please come check out my Q&A here? 

Thanks for having us Courtney xo

Wish List: Home Delights + where you can find it.

i'm guest posting over at Design Delights again today, while Melissa is enjoying another week in Israel.


since it's wednesday, i'm sharing this week's wish list there. It's home delights i'd fancy for our house like the above: little deer cup and saucer from Acero Studio. Come visit me?

if you want to play along and share your wish list, link up over at Dinosaur Toes.

my dear lovies i'm enjoying home in Texas so much! tonight i'm EXCITED to be going to a Dallas Mavericks basketball game in the city i love, Dallas. The only thing that would make this night absolutely complete is if my Max was there. We loved our MAVERICKS game weekends and right now our beloved team is on fire!!!

i hope your mid weeks are also off to a fun start and i promise to catch up soon! xo




ps. thanks to your comments over at Design Delights last week. i would have felt bad if Melissa got back and no one commented on my little post. if you've ever guest posted for someone else, do you worry about this too or am i the only insecure one? ha

How would you define love?

come visit me over on Cole's series about love and relationships. I'm no expert on love but... I was excited to be a part of this. And having Max in my life, well I must have done something right.

thanks Cole for featuring us! xo

Guest Post Max: Christmas Alone

It has been 3 months since I moved into colder country. Last Friday, we got a big snow. 13 inches!


This is not the kind of snow that happens every year, more like every 10 years. It reminded me of playing in the snow when I was little, sledding over and over until your fingers and toes are numb.

No sledding this time, except for sliding the car on the snow and getting stuck. But it is still profoundly beautiful. It struck me that I didn't have my Chunga to share it with. It was like a snowglobe, perfect. The sun hitting the new fallen snow...or the moonlight making the snowy night bright. I tried to take pictures, but I couldn't capture the bracing cold...the stillness and quiet. Snow makes even the ugliest landscape beautiful. It covers up all the imperfections with a smooth white blanket.

It was just not as much fun alone.

But that is going to change soon...this is our last Christmas apart. My family has already put her ornament on the tree. A sign of things to come.

Max

I am sad she missed it.

I have a question for you lovies....
