Dream Big: Alt Design Summit
I’ve made a decision.
Next year, I am going to do my darndest to find my way to the Alt Design Summit.
Several of my favorite photographers went this year, and they came back with glowing reviews. Actually, it seems like pretty much everyone who goes comes back with glowing reviews, not to mention fresh ideas, new friends, and a completely rejuvenated sense of inspiration.
From the Alt...

ICYMI: Watch Jimmy Fallon’s Super Bowl Special Opening Number
“Please Don’t Go to Sleep” set to Adele’s “Rolling in the Deep.” Fallon + anthem + walking down hallways = gold.

Jimmy Fallon is having the most fun.

I Can Do Anything Good: January
I’m a very goal-oriented person. Clearly. I set goals all the time in 2011, and it seemed like each month ended with a bulleted list of reasons for not achieving my goals. Lesson learned: I know that in order to achieve the goals I set for myself, I need to have a certain level of accountability…
So, here are the goals I set for 2012 at the beginning of the year.
And here’s how I’m doing so...

I’ll still be posting end-of-book recpas on this blog, but if you’re interested in being a part of the What Are You Reading? book club discussions, click this link and sign up.

My Favorite Things
It’s been a while, but I think it’s high time for another edition of My Favorite Things!
Pretty Paper Products
Rifle Paper Company is run by a husband and wife team in Florida, and literally everything they make is adorable. This week, I’ve been drooling over their gorgeous calendars (pictured, available here), but they make more adorable paper than I could begin to list here - including...

Role Models: Katniss Everdeen →
First of all, don’t judge. Chances are if you didn’t love The Hunger Games, it’s because you didn’t read The Hunger Games. And if you did read the Hunger Games, then you know what I’m talking about when I say Katniss Everdeen is a BAMF with serious role model potential, and definitely not a girl to be trifled with. Why? I’ll tell you why:
Family, y’all.
Katniss loves her family more than she...

My Handwriting
When I saw this post at eef-etc, I knew I had to jump on board this bandwagon. Handwriting has always been very important to me. I was the girl who “tried on” different styles of writing at the beginning of every school year - the way other girls would try on new shoes or new dresses.
My handwriting has always been a big part of who I am. Now that I’m a grown up and I...

12 in 12: January
The morning of January 21 was cold, rainy, and generally gross. The alarm went off way too early, I was way too tired and completely unprepared. Honestly, the only thing that kept me from backing out was the thought of having to write a post admitting to giving up on my FIRST 5k of the year. No way. Not acceptable. Not in 2012.
So I rolled out of bed, pulled my bedhead into a ponytail, tied my...

What Are You Reading? Miss Peregrine’s Home for... →
First of all: Young Adult Lit is really stepping up its game!
What several years ago may have been easy to write off as juvenile or simple has matured into a genre of literature that is just as complex and entertaining as its more “serious” older sibling. It’s a very exciting time to be a Young Adult author or reader, and this book just helps to prove that point.
I picked up Miss Peregrine’s...

Go somewhere.
I spent my day thinking warm, snuggly thoughts of blankets and hot tea and Jane Austen movies on Netflix.
I knew that as soon as I walked in the door, I would be hard pressed to do anything other than snuggle with the dogs, turn on the TV, cover up, cuddle in, and drift in and out of a hazy almost-sleep until Josh got home from class.
So when I got home, I said hi to the pups. I took them...
