If I am reading a good fiction book, where I’m attached to the characters, I like to focus solely on that book. Lately, I have been reading non-fiction books and crafty books, so I’ve been jumping around.

Yes, we celebrate Christmas in July. It’s fun. The kids love it. And who doesn’t love friendly competition, Christmas movies, hot cocoa and handmade presents in the middle of July?

The Office! My husband and I are re-watching the series, and we’re loving it! It’s nice to sit down after we put the kids down to bed, and laugh.

False. I love you more.

 

Oh this burger from Poe’s Tavern.  (I will be back!)

    Ugh, you’re totally teasing us here!! Whatever you’re planning I can’t wait to hear about it! I really enjoyed the blogging book by Joy Cho. She has great suggestions and I like how she talks about “community”. I feel like the last couple of weeks I had some good things going on and now we’re in a lull. Trying to think of some adventures before September rolls around.

      I’m such a tease 😉 The secret is out.
      Community is the best part of blogging, IMO.
      I cannot wait to hear what you get into before September. 🙂
      XOXO

    I’m like you when it comes to reading — if I’m reading fiction and I’m really into the story I’ll just read that, but for nonfiction I often read a couple at a time.
    Happy Christmas in July 😉

      I’m glad I’m not alone. I don’t like cheating on my people… my book people. 😀

      It’s such a fun time. Last year it was rainy, so it was dark, and it kind of felt like Christmas for real. 🙂

    I need that mug bad, I never feel like ‘adult(ing)’. I’m also following this deflate gate scandal, I can’t believe this is all about deflating balls it’s crazy, and interesting, like a soap opera.

      I need that mug too!! I want, I want, I want. 🙂 It’s amusing for sure. Deflated balls. 😀

    I think I need to start celebrating Christmas in July! It would be fun, and so much better with our late sunsets and warm days!
    Bird by Bird was a book that really changed me and I’m not a huge fan of her other stuff. That book is special.

      I think you and Cassidy would do a wonderful job of celebrating Christmas in July with the babies. 😉
      I’m trying to find some special time to finish the book, I’ve been so busy lately with moving stuff.
      XOXO

    So much goodness here! First, I need that mug- too cute. Bird by Bird is one of my favorite all time books. I usually don’t read one more than once, but I think that one will be reread on a yearly basis. My hubby loves an egg on his burger. We go to a place called Flipdaddy’s and his always looks just like your picture :). I loved the black and white pic you drew of the girl with cool hair. I can’t wait to see what you are doing with it. I hope it’s what I think it is!!

      Thank you, Candace 😉
      I need that mug too!! I’m behind, this is my first time reading Bird by Bird, and I’m behind on my reading. I’ve been super busy with all this moving stuff.
      An egg on your burger is magical, you’re husband knows his burgers 😉
      I think it’s what you think it is. 🙂
      I’ll let you know when I come through with my plan 😉
      XOXO

    I love that you celebrate Christmas in July – how fun that must be for the kids! I’m re-watching The Office also! This is the 12th time I’ve re-watched the series, I know I’m crazy, but I love it that much – I’m on season 6. 🙂

    Thanks for encouraging me to create today! xxo

      The kids love Christmas in July, plus there’s not the added pressure on making this day perfect, so it’s even more awesome. 🙂
      I think we’re on season 4 of The Office, but we’re going to binge tonight while we do tons of laundry.

      I hope you got creative!
      XOXO

    I’d love to see your Chinese style paintings. I was horrible at it when I had to do it as a kid in Chinese school.

      August 2, 2015 at 3:32 pm

      I may share…. may… 😀
      I’m sure your painting were good!

    You said balls! Ha! I’d love to see the beautiful creative pieces you’re working on. I’d show you mine, but it’d look like drunk stick people. 😉 I’ve missed you my friend. Hopefully I’ll be back from my hiatus soon.

      HAHAHA!! BALLS BALLS AND MORE BALLS!
      You’re too harsh on yourself, I’m sure you’ve got skills 🙂
      I miss you too!!! (did you read that with a touch of whine to it?)
      XOXO

    You are “Currently” a very busy lady! I just love your blog! So are you going solo with the giveaway or doing a group thing again? If you decide to do a group thing and it is not to late, I would like to join. I’ve thought about doing one like the favorite things you guys hosted. Thought it would be nice.
