    Spring Landscaping & Hardscaping

    April 13, 2020 /

    When I go for walks, which I so look forward to on all nice days since it’s about the only thing I’m able to do these days for some fresh air, I love looking at the landscaping of the houses I pass. Some houses you see really nicely done landscaping, wall manicured lawns and shrubs, fresh spring flowers, flowering trees, etc. Sometimes you see houses where you’re like “Oh that house would look nicer with some nice flowers or some new pavers.”  And then there’s those houses where you’re like “What happened there?” or “Uh did someone abandon that house?” and they just look kind of sad with their driveways…

    Outdoor Menswear with Chums

    September 7, 2017 /

    Everyone thinks about the great outdoors during the summer, but actually I personally like spending time outside more in the fall because the temperature and weather are more comfortable. But, spending some time outdoors any time of the year and getting fresh air is relaxing. Did you know that 92% of people participate in outdoor activities to relax and de-stress? Whether you’re spending time outside for exercise or just for some peace of mind, I believe layering is key. Even if it’s still summer! Chums is a great place to stock up on your clothing such as trousers and shoes suited for the great outdoors. As mentioned above, I believe layering…

    Paddle Boating @ South Mountain Reservation

    June 10, 2017 /

    If you keep up on here regularly then you may recall my post about my dusty pink top with the sleeve cutouts. And you may remember my post about my meal at Roosterspin. So on that same day that I went to Roosterspin and I took the pictures of my cutout sleeve outfit I went out with my friend from the restaurant to South Mountain Reservation to walk around and we ended up going paddle boating. It was a beautiful, warm day out so I was slightly afraid I’d get weird tan lines from the cutouts in my top, but fortunately I did not. It was a nice outing and…

    Photo Challenge: Earth + Blog Anniversary

    May 13, 2016 /

    Before I get in to today’s photo challenge post, I wanted to share that I got a notification last night from WordPress that it was my 2 year blog anniversary! I can’t believe it’s been 2 years since I first created this site and pushed “publish”. It’s been 2 years of a lot of hard work, which I’m thankful still does not feel like work or a chore. I’ve made some wonderful friends and have watched my blog grow. Here’s to another year of growth! Thank you for being a part of my journey!  Back to the photo challenge. When I think of “Earth”, I think of green. And dirt. Last week,…

Thank you for all the birthday wishes yesterday! 😊✨Since it’s my birth month I thought it was a good time to do the Birthstone Book Stack Challenge that I’ve seen going around for months 📚. The birthstone for August is peridot, a green gem, which I love because green is my favorite color. So here are 4 books I have with green spines in different shades 💚. 

• A Court of Mist and Fury by @therealsjmaas 💗
• People We Meet on Vacation by @emilyhenrywrites 💗
• Twisted Lies by @authoranahuang - this is a tbr for me!
• Pride & Premeditation by @tirzah.price - another tbr that I plan to start this week!

It’s my birthday! 🎉 Someone at the mall last It’s my birthday! 🎉 Someone at the mall last week called me “ma’am” and I immediately texted my two bff’s saying I didn’t like it 😂. I was going to say I “voiced my displeasure” but that just makes me seem even older 🤣. Anyway, how pretty is this white bow dress? 💗 A pretty dress + a book (and good food) is my kind of birthday 🥳

Crescent City: House of Sky and Breath 💙 ✨🌙. I can’t go on and on about this book without giving spoilers, but it was so good. I felt every emotion while reading and the ending?! #iykyk The ending was a mixture of excitement and also extreme anxiety for me! 😰

HOSAB picks up shortly after the events in House of Earth and Blood. The demons from book 1 have been taken care of, but of course our favorite CC characters can’t live peacefully! The events in book 1 only lead to bigger plots and the introduction of the Ophion, a rebel organization aiming to overthrow the Asteri. Hunt does not want to go near the Ophion because of his experience during the last war, but you know Bryce is going to get them involved in the chaos somehow! There are plot twists (some I did not see coming and some I had an idea of but the clues weren’t clear enough for me to say definitively!). I loved it and need to know when the next book will be out!! My review is on the blog (does contain some HOEAB spoilers) 📚💙✨🌙

The third book in the Bank Street Stories series b The third book in the Bank Street Stories series by @brooke_stjames , Diamonds are Forever, goes on a time jump to the late 80s 🕰. The main character this time is Lucy, the daughter of Abigail and Daniel from The Trouble with Crushes. After becoming a teen mom, Lucy has spent the past few years taking care of her young son, working at her family’s store, and writing a series of children’s books she hopes to publish 📚. She likes her life and hasn’t thought about dating until one day she’s relaxing by the water and a guy comes to shore in his boat and gives her a diamond ring to do whatever she wants with it! The guy, Drew, was going to propose to his girlfriend but after learning some things that causes him to want to get rid of the ring, he befriends Lucy and things proceed from there including some fake dating and a really sweet relationship between Drew and Lucy’s son, Mac 💗.

Usually, I’m not a fan of second generation romances and I wasn’t sure how I’d like going from Abigail and Daniel and Tess and Billy in the late 60s/early 70s all the way to their kids being grown. But, I really liked Lucy and Drew and immediately got drawn into the story! 💗

The paperbacks of The Trouble with Crushes and Diamonds are Forever will both be released this Tuesday! 📚

New on the blog today is my book review for The Tr New on the blog today is my book review for The Trouble with Crushes - the second book in the Bank Street Stories series by Brook St. James @brooke_stjames 📚. A few months ago I was sent the first book in the series, which I enjoyed. The Trouble with Crushes takes place a few years later in the early 1970s now and focuses on Abigail (Tess’s younger sister from book 1) and their friend Daniel, who has just returned from Vietnam. Abigail and Daniel became friends in the first book and in between the 2 books, the two maintained a friendship through letters while Daniel was in Vietnam 📫✉️ However, when the novel begins we learn that Abigail had asked Daniel to stop writing to her while she was dating someone else. Now, she regrets her behavior and wants to make things right while also navigating her feelings for him. But will Daniel forgive her? 💖

This can be read as a stand-alone or as part of the series. It’s great for fans of friends to lovers, clean romance 💕

Katie Schnack @katieschnack is a book publicist wh Katie Schnack @katieschnack is a book publicist who has sent me many books over the years for review so when she wrote her own book and asked if I’d like a copy I, of course, said yes! 👏🏼 In The Gap Decade Katie tells various stories about her life, often done with lots of humor, and what she has learned through these times and events in her life. I really enjoyed the book and getting to know more about Katie through it! More info on my blog post! 📖✨

Tropes and book recommendations based on the lette Tropes and book recommendations based on the letters in my name! I saw @savs.books share this idea last month and started thinking of what to do for each letter! I played around with the wording for a couple to make it work, but I’m counting them! 😂📚

What do you think of the tropes/books I chose?📚 Let me know if you try this challenge! 💫
