this week:
- I finished taking down our Christmas decorations. Can I just say how empty the house now looks?
- On Wednesday I braved the cold and went for a 2 mile walk around my favorite park. Best decision ever.
- I spent Thursday updating one of the sites I manage. Then I decided to work on a redesign for the blog. I’m still undecided whether or not I’m going to implement the redesign though.
- On Friday I went to lunch at The Cheesecake Factory with one of my friends from high school. They have mac and cheese balls that are to die for.
- I might have a slight cupcake liner obsession. I bought some cheetah print ones at Michael’s yesterday. I already have enough, but I couldn’t resist!
currently:
- Wearing my favorite zip-up hoodie like it’s going out of style. Hint: It’s not. And it never was. It’s 2 sizes too big, furry, and zebra print.
- Searching for a new iPhone case. I’m so picky that this task is a lot more difficult than it should be!
- Hoping I don’t get the flu that’s been spreading like wildfire.
- Wondering which color combo you like better. So far two is winning by one vote.
- Knitting a scarf for my friend. It’s the most gorgeous coral color.
- Smelling my new Palmolive Fresh Infusions dish soap. I hate doing the dishes, but the smell of this soap might just convince me otherwise.
link love:
- Evani shared her engagement story! Her fiancé did a great job with planning the proposal!
- Danielle wrote a great post on finding the silver lining in life.
- Instead of resolutions this year, why not create a happiness list?
- Here’s a recap of this month’s Blog Brunch on branding. Lots of helpful tips!
- A great post on taking risks.
- This random act of kindness was great, but that’s not why I loved the post. Did you see the neighborhood mail center? And the gazebo? I want to move there!
- I love this post on wearing what you like vs what’s popular.
Linking up with Lauren.










What a great week!

yes, it was a pretty good week!
I am super picky about iphone cases, too. I always find ones I like at J.Crew. I like the feel of their cases. They aren’t hard plastic. And… I think I like color combo 1 better than 2. It is softer. :) Happy Sunday!
I’ll have to check out J.Crew’s iPhone cases! I totally forgot they made them!
What kind of iPhone case do you have now? I love my monogrammed case!
The house really does look bare after all the decorations are gone :(
I have a polka dot one from Target. I love it, but it’s getting dirty! I was looking into a monogrammed case, but I haven’t found one I like yet. They all seem kind of flimsy and I want one with a little more protection.
I’m the same way about finding new phone cases. It really shouldn’t be as difficult as it is. But like you said – we’re picky!
At least I’m not alone!
like tina, i LOVE j.crew’s iphone cases – i have a chevron one on my phone at the moment. i got it while on my honeymoon in maine & i think it’s perfect! every time i go in j.crew, though, i’m tempted to get a new one.
ugh, i hate taking down christmas decorations for that very reason – how empty the house feels afterwards :(
i already voted, but my favorite color combo is still #2! i love coral & navy paired.
hope your week is lovely :)
I’ll definitely have to check out J.Crew’s cases now! Thanks Lauren!
Thanks for sharing my engagement dear friend :) And I love the Palmolive dish soap from Influenster! The lime one smells SO good.
I know! I was a little too excited to get free dish soap, but hey, they smell good!
Just now catching up on some blog reading! Thank you so much for including my “Not Boring” post! I’m happy to see so many people enjoyed it.
No problem! It really got me thinking about my own wardrobe!
