Book of Lists is back! And it’s a super easy project, and fun, so I should be able to keep up with it from now on. The hardest part of this was actually coming up with what to put on my list. You guys, I am so lame and hardly have any celebrity crushes! And they are so fun to have, too, so I really need more. Right now I’d say I really only have three. The problem is that I hardly ever watch TV or movies so I don’t get a chance to see them in action. Robert Downey, Jr.  Johnny Depp Joseph Gordon-Levitt I’m still as terrible as ever at taking photos with the Instax. One of these…

This is from May 13-26, and I really love how it turned out. During the first week David was out of town so Meredith and I were in survival mode. He sent me a photo of himself by the Mississippi River which I was so happy to include. The 4×6 journaling card is all about our experience with him gone. The 3×4 journaling card includes other little things that happened during the week. I took this photo of Meredith and I to send David while he was gone and I love it. On the right side we have an assortment of other things that happened during this time. Cousins eating sno-cones, a story about coming home from work on Saturday…

I have a long commute to work and most of the time I listen to audiobooks, but this year I’ve also added in podcasts to the mix. They’re so fun! My criteria for a podcast is: has to be light & upbeat, not explicit, and I can’t be annoyed by anyone’s voice. Here’s what I have on rotation.   Must Listen Joy the Baker – my first podcast love and still my favorite. Joy and Tracy just chat about random things and answer questions from listeners. I feel like I’m talking with friends when I listen, and I frequently laugh out loud. Book Riot – this is relatively new but it’s so great! Jeff and Rebecca talk about news and…

Have you heard of Stitch Fix? I’m kind of in love with it. You fill out a comprehensive style profile, then a stylist picks out five items of clothing/accessories for you. You get to try them on in the comfort of your own home, in good lighting with the clothes you already have. In three days you send back what you don’t want and keep the rest. There is a $20 styling fee that goes toward any final purchase. I decided to try it because I recently got rid of a ton of clothes and I’m looking to kick up my wardrobe a notch. Since I wear scrubs during the week I rarely go clothes shopping for myself and am…

It’s time for Book of Lists, and this month’s topic is “I’d rather be doing.” I imagined myself working, or doing something unpleasant, and thought of all the things I could be doing instead. Some of them are fantasy and some are realistic. relaxing in Hawaii with David cuddling Meredith reading a great book working on a craft or creative project visiting my friends across the country hiking, biking, or some other outdoor activity drinking coffee and browsing blogs I am still pretty terrible at taking Instax pictures (probably because I don’t do research or practice that often) but it’s still fun. In this picture is a map of Kauai, Hawaii where David and I went on our honeymoon. Next…
