As we all know, and are probably freaking out about, Google Reader is going away soon. I for one follow every blog I read via RSS. The great thing about that is that all you need to do is find a new RSS reader! There are plenty of them out there, each with there own strengths. I’ve made it my own personal mission to find some great alternatives, and here are my favorites: Bloglovin’ What I like about Bloglovin’ is the simplicity of it.

Well friends, it’s been an absolutely lovely week of slacking off. Mr. B and I totally enjoyed our honeymoon, and I’m relaxed beyond belief :). It’s our last night here! Bittersweet really. Tomorrow we say goodbye to San Francisco and head back home. On Sunday you’ll see the list of posts for next week, and everything will go back to normal. I’m rejuvenated and ready to get back to blogging! Until then, much love and thanks for waiting!

It’s that time again! Time for the 2013 Standalone Reading Challenge! I participated in this last year and, although I succeeded, I really didn’t get the full experience since I was too busy to really track things. So, this year I’m determined to not only read the books but also to track them every month! The Goal: Read 15 standalone books that are published between January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2013. ********** Next up I’ll be participating in the 2013 Audio Book Challenge! I was a part of this one this year too, but it took me a while…

I wasn’t going to put up a post today, but I feel like it’s important to take a quick moment and list some things I’m thankful for this year! I think with all the food, friends, and craziness, we forget to step back and take a look at how many good things are in our lives. So without further ado… * My crazy, wonderful and totally supportive family. It doesn’t matter what happens between us, we are always an unbreakable unit. I don’t know where I’d be without them. * Brandon. My loving, and silly husband. He and I constantly…

Hi there lovely readers! In case you didn’t know, future hubby and I are getting married this year. In less than 6 weeks, I’ll be a married woman! I know, I can’t believe it either.

Whoa. Time flies! Anyway this is me letting you know that I might not be around as much as usual! My posts for the next month or so…
