    June 28, 2019 /

    Yesterday was a long, but good day in the city. I went to a book launch event and had a great time. But more on that in a post this weekend! Now I’ve got a lot of housekeeping things to take care of (literally and figuratively – laundry and cooking but also blog work). While scrolling through photos on my phone I came across my photos from my trip to Washington, DC during the holidays. I saw these photos I took in the Capitol Building – in the rotunda. They are shots looking up at the fresco painted on ceiling of the dome. I vaguely remember our tour guide saying…

    Branch Brook Park – Cherry Blossom Festival

    April 14, 2019 /

    If you follow me on Instagram then you might have seen in my stories that I went to Branch Brook Park in Newark yesterday to see the cherry blossoms. The large park has a week long cherry blossom festival every spring and today is the last day. Obviously you can go any time while the trees are in bloom to see them – you’re not limited to this one week – but since cherry blossoms only last about 2 weeks you’ve got to be quick about it. Also the festival just means that each day there is some sort of special event to celebrate the cherry blossoms at the park.…

    Finding Affordable Ways To Show Off Your Photos

    March 4, 2019 /

    (Image Credit) Digital photography has done an awful lot to change the way that people take their pictures. Opening the doors to loads more storage space, the ability to easily edit images after they are taken, and opportunities to delete photos, this sort of hobby doesn’t have to be budgeting anywhere near as strictly as it used to be. Of course, though, when it comes to bringing a digital image into the real world, things can start to get a little more expensive. To help you out with this, this post will be exploring some of the most affordable ways to start enjoying your own photo prints without having to…

    For this flashback Friday I thought it’d be nice to revisit fall since we’re in the midst of holiday and winter content now. Here’s a look of a pot of multicolor mums I got back in October. When I got the plant it was just buds so I was pleasantly surprised when I found out they were multicolor blooms! I love the mix of pink, red, and orange. So pretty! Sadly my mums are no longer and not because it got cold. The snow we got a few weeks ago crushed them and basically broke my poor plant in half! Have a great Friday!

    So happy today is Friday! This 4 day week hasn’t been too bad, but life has been so hectic lately that I will take any kind of break I can get. Today’s photo challenge response is sadly the last one! The Daily Post has decided to end their weekly challenges on WordPress, which is a bummer as I really enjoyed using the photo challenges as an excuse to take new photos and/or look through all my old ones to find a photo to use. I thought about finding new photo challenges to take part in as there are so many on the Internet I’m sure, but I think what I…

I have an event tonight for it and then all day tomorrow so I’m happy it is a long weekend!

    Happy Friday! It may almost be the weekend, but it’s actually the start of a very busy week (or two or three) for me. I have 3 weddings to go to in the span of 4 weekends plus lots of wedding related events and other social events to go to during the weeks. Oh yeah and regular/work/personal things to get done. Hopefully I don’t completely burn out! But let me take one thing at a time so as to keep myself from going crazy – starting with today’s photo challenge response. The Daily Post’s photo challenge last week was “Place in the World“. I decided to use a photo from…

    It’s finally Friday, everyone! This week has felt exceptionally long and yesterday was particularly stressful and crazy, but that’s for another day. Hopefully today will be a much calmer day at work and then I’ve got dinner plans and a bonfire at work/school so at least those are things to look forward to! If you had asked me a few years ago if I would ever watch a “movie under the stars” and it be broad daylight at 10pm, I would say that’s crazy – highly “Unlikely“. But, lo and behold, I was on an Alaskan cruise 2 summers ago and watched two or three movies under the stars on…

Love and Other Sins was an instant love for me! 📖❤️ I did a spotlight on this book on my blog back in the fall when I got a nice advanced reader package but just got to read it and I loved it! 

The novel is told from the perspectives of Mina and Oliver. Mina is a first generation American living in Los Angeles with her mom. With money being tight, her mom has to pull her from her private school for her senior year which means Mina will have to go to public school in Hollywood. Not only does she have to change schools, but problems arise due to family. 

Oliver grew up in foster care and after years of being bounced around from home to home and abused, he has managed to educate himself on his rights, win a lawsuit, and become emancipated. He has also managed to save a lot of money by hustling electronics. Wanting to start with a clean slate, in a new town away from his troubled past, Oliver moves to Los Angeles.

Mina and Oliver meet and form an instant bond after a scary incident. But can they overcome their own issues to be together? ✨📚

I loved the novel and the characters so much. I felt the characters, while obviously not perfect, were realistically flawed and relatable. Warning ⚠️ - the novel does end on a cliffhanger and now I need to become friends with @emiliaares and find out when the sequel will be coming out and any other book secrets!! 🤣

More of my review is on the blog 📖

Once Upon a Lifetime is a new novel by Suzanne Mat Once Upon a Lifetime is a new novel by Suzanne Mattaboni. I was recently sent a copy and look forward to reading it! 📖

In 1984, punk is rampant, Andy Warhol rules, and 20-year old Jess is sick of missing out on all the excitement. Setting her sights on an avant-garde study abroad program she can’t afford, her summer becomes a wild ride of edgy clubs, waitressing chaos, tequila-fueled adventures, and all the nostalgia that 1980s New Hope, PA has to offer.
