I'm so excited to be co-hosting "Thoughts For Thursday" with Annie from Home of Malones and Natalie at East Coast Chic. These are two my new favorite blogs and I love creeping on them and they're beautiful homes, babies, and outfits! Check um'!
::: My favorite "thought" of this week comes in the form of a $30 milk frother that I bought at Bed, Bath, and Beyond.
I've been drinking Cafe Au Lait's (Regular coffee with steamed milk) at work, and decided that I could just as easily make them at home. I brew regular coffee out of my Keurig, microwave a tablespoon of milk and then froth it with my nifty little gadget. It's been a major game changer over here.
::: I could not put this book down. I love Sarah Pekkenan, and I think this was my most favorite of her's recently.
::: On that thought, I didn't really love The One and Only. It was good - and I finished it, but it wasn't anything that really moved me or had me staying up into the wee hours of the morning to read. Below average.
::: Ladies of London on the other hand - Above Average!! How freaking cute is Marissa? 
::: With the house updates, and some very necessary closet updates, I just cannot stop shopping. I'm in need of some new workout gear, and since I start training for the half marathon in the next few weeks, I'm hoping some fun goodies from Lulu will help motivate me to kick it into high gear.
::: I'm going to Chicago next week for a wedding shower and cannot wait to be back home. It's been way too long and I'm literally counting down the hours.
::: I've made this cucumber salad twice this week because I just cannot get enough. It's so refreshing and so easy. SkinnyTaste.com is like my mecca for recipes.
:::Somehow, this Sunday, Joel and I will celebrating our one year anniversary. It actually scares me how fast this year flew by, and it's wild to think about where I was one year ago on this day.
::: Happy Thursday everyone!
Let me know what's on your thoughts and link up here:
I had like 6 other things to say on this post but then NO FLIPPING WAY IS YOUR ANNIVERSARY THIS WEEKEND.
ReplyDeleteHoly. shit.
Can you believe it was a year and a few weeks ago that we were emailing and flipping out?! What in the hell?! Where has this year gone?
I'm also buying a milk frother now. I totally "frothed" milk this morning for a latte using a mason jar and the microwave. Shake and heat. Lame! But it's basically like you read my mind cause today was my first attempt. Freaky.
A bookstore-friend gave RH a copy of The One and Only in December. And I didn't notice it till everyone was posting about it when it came out a month ago. OOOPS. Damn, I hate when I have the scoop and don't even know it.
I've got LOL saved on my DVR. Can't wait for tonight and I can catch up. Obsessed.
Welcome back to the midwest!! :)
I can't believe it has already been a year, that is crazy!! I was thinking about reading The One and Only but I'm happy to read your review and maybe I'll try the other book you mentioned instead! Have a great day love!
ReplyDeleteCheers to one year! And to your weather forecast (literally ha). I'll have to try that cucumber salad - loving how they are sliced.
ReplyDeleteI love Ladies of London! I can't quite understand the appeal of Caprice. My bro's first car was a Chevy Caprice (random). I love the Brits!
ReplyDeleteSo much goodness in this post -- first off Happy Anniversary! Secondly, you know I love the wine forecast, it's pretty much mine too! Your coffee looks so delicious and I'm LOVING Ladies of London. Marissa is my favorite too. She seems so genuine and nice!
