Blogosphere Reading List

I wanted to share a few of my favorite blog posts this week. Happy Reading!

I've only had Chemex coffee once but it was fun and delicious.

May the Fourth Be With you goodies

Make a bandeau from old leggings!

I decided to try this foundation, and I think it's magical.

I love love Kara's art journaling classes! Here's her newest!

Hopefully Amelia will keep napping so I can get ready for a coffee date with my girlfriends, while Papacakes watches baby girl. We are trying a local coffee shop, but more on that later! Happy Saturday!

Coffee Date

Something Inspiring Lost and Found Pets of Lubbock and the Dachshund Rescue. We still haven't found Duo but so many people have gone out looking and are keeping an eye out. So thanks, and I hope we find him soon.

Something Disturbing the amount of times I've dyed my hair recently. Hopefully soon I will find a color I like and stick to it.

Something New I'm currently reading a book about doing a cleanse, called Clean. I'm also reading Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? by Mindy Kaling. Yes I'm that person who reads like 4 books at the same time.

Something I'm Listening To Paramore's new album. I haven't heard all of it yet, but I'm really liking what I've heard so far.

Coffee Date

Something Inspiring or someone in this case, is my hair stylist. She is so positive and full of wisdom. I always appreciate her honesty. I am also excited that she gets to go see Bjork this summer!

Something New I'm thinking about doing a cleanse, so I'm doing some research. I liked this post from Gala.

Something Disturbing the amount of times I've been to Target this week. I keep forgetting something, and I tend to go and walk around if I get some alone time.

Something I'm listening to Little Einsteins. I can't get the theme song out of my head! I know this will just get worse as Amelia gets older.

Coffee Date

I meant for this post to go up on Saturday, but a cute baby distracted me from hitting publish :)

Something Inspiring: My friend Debra and her husband Paul. They make the most amazing costumes (and look amazing in them!), and they go to events and make people happy. I think it's pretty awesome. I love how they give back in such a fun way, and they do it as a couple! You can check out her blog Fantastically Super and their Facebook page for their non-profit, Project Hero.

Something New: I died my hair, again. LoL. It is super fun. I call it super hero red.

Something Disturbing: The number of pictures on my computer that I've taken of coffee over the years.

Something I'm Listening to: My husband left a Sufjan Stevens cd in my car. I can't remember which one though.

Coffee Date

Something inspiring: getting away from the city for a while. It was nice to be at the ranch and just enjoy the peace and quiet, family time, good food, and nature.

Something new: I got my first shellac manicure and I love it!

Something disturbing: I was excited to see new episodes of My Little Pony on Netflix. At least I like the show Amelia likes, right?

Something I'm listening to: the baby monitor. I've been working on getting Amelia to nap in her crib, so she will eventually sleep in there instead of the bassinet.

Coffee Date

Something Inspiring: Massage chairs and pedicures.....amazing!


Something New: I cut all my hair off! I never had time to brush it (or wash it) and it was getting out of control.


Something Disturbing: Having to hold your baby's hand while they get shots. Worst feeling ever!

Something I'm listening to: Paramore's new single Now. The video is rad.

Coffee Date

Something Inspiring: Joining 30 Days of Lists and meeting new people through this awesome community.

Something New: Painting projects! We are painting our super dated fireplace white. The primer already makes our dark living room brighter!

Something Disturbing: Trimming baby finger nails. It's super scary to do, and their nails grow so fast!

Something I'm Listening to: Taylor Swift's new album Red. I really like "I Knew You Were Trouble" but don't tell anyone....

Coffee Date

Something inspiring: My daughter Amelia. She grows so much right before my eyes everyday, and it's amazing. You can see her little personality shining out her big eyes.

Something new: My sister took me out for a much needed pedicure. We met up with our cousin Candice and left all the kids at home. I am now obsessed with buying the color of polish on my tootsies.

Something disgusting: Baby poop. This week Amelia had some crazy poo and ruined a pair of cute pants. My husband is lucky he missed out on that personal disaster.

Something I'm listening to: The Amelie soundtrack. Amelia's projector that plays the ocean quit working, but she loves sleeping to Yann Yiersen.

This post is inspired by Treasures and Travels, check out their cute blog!
