Hello and happy Friday, friends!!
The weather is finally starting to warm up here and I’m just so happy about that. I was even able to wear short a couple of days this week. I’m getting my shorts wearing in before our move to Germany because I know it doesn’t get hot enough for shorts there very often.
Speaking of our move to Germany…we are STILL waiting on orders. It seems like there is so much that we’re just waiting on right now and, honestly, it’s quite painful. I’m sure there’s a lesson to be learned there.
Keith and I are committing to no eating out/food take out delivery for the month of May (except maybe for birthdays), so we celebrated date night with delivery from Shake Shack last night. Their burgers and fries are my favorite!!
I finished reading Madam Speaker yesterday. It was a very well done biography and I found it interesting to read about Nancy Pelosi’s background and rise to power within the House of Representatives.
I am currently reading How to One-Armed Sister Sweeps Her House by Cherie Jones. I heard about this book from Annie Jones of The Bookshelf. She mentioned it in one of her monthly reading round-ups and I immediately added it to my TBR list.
Book of the Month selections were released yesterday and I’ve already placed my order for May books. Here’s what a I selected:
This weekend is the big iNSD (National Scrapbook Day) in Scrapbooking World. I’m excited about all of the events going on at The Lilypad.
There are tons of new products, sales, games, chats and challenges. I’m hosting the Instagram #scrapwithTLP challenge and I can’t wait to see all of the layouts shared there!
Week in the Life is coming up May 10-16 and I’m making plans to participate in this special project. Ali Edwards is hosting a series of Instagram Stories Chats to prepare for Week in the Life. I’m hoping to catch as many of these as I can.
One other thing that I’m really excited about that’s coming up soon is the Erin Condren Life Planner Launch on May 3. I’m due to order a new set of Daily Duo Life Planners and will probably place my order during the launch to catch some fun specials!
That’s it for this week…I hope you have a fantastic weekend!! We are planning to visit the Jefferson Memorial tomorrow afternoon as long as the weather is nice!
