Currently:
- Reading: I finished American Royals and I’m a little ambivalent about it. There must be a sequel coming out because the story was really unfinished at the end. I’d give the next book a chance just to see what happens but I won’t be rushing to read it. I also read Josh and Hazel’s Guide to Not Dating and skimmed over My Favorite Half-Night Stand. I didn’t love either one (obviously, since I skimmed over the second one). I’m not sure I’m feeling it with this author. I do have a hold on her book Unhoneymooners for my Kindle and I’ll give it a try. I also have Sunset Beach being held. Mary Kay Andrews is probably my favorite author so I’m looking forward to reading that one when my turn on the list comes.
- Eating: This chocolate chip pumpkin bread recipe. I decided to do bread instead of muffins and it turned out awesome! (You can find all of my tried + true recipes on Pinterest right here).
- Cleaning: My closet! Ugh, it was such a mess! We don’t have a very big closet so everything is usually pretty jammed in there. I ended up trying all of my clothes on and probably got rid of half! Take that, Marie Kondo! 🙂 Speaking of closets, I would love to reorganize ours with the Ikea Pax wardrobe system.

- If you aren’t already, I would love it if you’d give me a follow on Instagram, Facebook and Pinterest. Thanks for following along!
- In the “what random thing did I buy from Amazon” category, these sound machines were the deal of the day the other day and I decided to give them a try (seriously, they were only $11 each). I’ll let you know what we think after we’ve had some time to use them!
- Since we were talking about closets, I thought I would share a few Ikea walk-in closet ideas that I really like. Our closet is definitely not anywhere near as large as these but still, we could make something like this work on a smaller scale!
