What Am I Reading? – May 2014

May 20, 2014

I always have such high hopes that I’m going to relax with a good book.  My intentions are always good, however everything else in my life seems to get in the way.  Not in a bad way.  I’m just not very good at unplugging from technology long enough to enjoy a good book.  But that doesn’t stop me from trying!  I’ve bought a few books in the past few months.  Here are the ones I’ve chosen:

Books I'm Reading - May

Barefoot by Elin Hilderbrand*

I just saw this one at Walmart while strolling through the aisles.  It looked like an interesting story and had a “special price” sticker of only $8.  I also figured that if I hold an actual book in my hand rather than a digital version I might be able to stay unplugged.  I haven’t started this book yet.

Came Back Early Today by Marie Marley, PhD
A Memoir of Love, Alzheimer’s and Joy
I actually have no idea how I ended up purchasing this book on Amazon.  I always enjoy reading non-fiction books and this one caught my attention.  I’ve actually read a few chapters of this book now and it’s pretty interesting.

From the Moment We Met by Marina Adair*
I think I downloaded this book for free as part of the Amazon Prime membership program.  They recently sent me an email with a choice of four books to download for free.  Can’t beat that as a perk.  I actually have no idea what the book’s about.  Looks life a romance novel, huh?
I also purchased a few books on the topic of blogging.  I still strive to make my blog a place that readers will come to visit, make themselves at home, and return to over and over.
What are you reading?  Let me know in the comments below.

I’m ready to spring forward and I bet you are too! I’m ready to spring forward and I bet you are too!

These new pieces from Soft Surroundings are perfect for lighter layers and softer palettes and all the things we love about Spring (my favorite season). #ad

This outfit will be perfect for my trip to Palm Springs. It’s one of those super versatile outfits that I can dress up or down. And I can add an extra layer if needed too.

The pull-on style jeans are so easy to wear. I paired them with the softest gauze button down top in a gorgeous colorful floral print.

And who could resist the fun turquoise trimmed raffia cowgirl hat for a little extra sun protection?!👩🏻‍🌾

Weekend fit check… My first outfit from Good Ame Weekend fit check… 

My first outfit from Good American. Love the quality of the bodysuit, sweater and jeans. The relaxed style is different for me, but definitely still fun. 

The jeans are a petite length but still a little too long for me with their 30” inseam. I plan to just cut off 2 inches and have a raw hem instead.

It’s a cold day here in North Texas. No big plans other than a little family celebration for my mother in law’s 85th birthday!🎉🎂🥳
