These days...

...have been filled with music at all hours, and it never gets old.








Meanwhile, I've been doing a little bit of this...




...anyone else have the same guilty pleasure? At least I'm studying and taking notes at the same time.  Linking up with  The Paper Mama, And Then She {Snapped}, Project Alicia, Live and Love Outloud, Angry Julie Monday, Naptimemomtog, Jenni from the Blog, and A Little King and I...

A song about hope...

I wanted to share the official video from Dave's interview and performance on BalconyTV. If you follow me on twitter you might have already seen it, but just in case, here it is...



...and now I want to ask you all a favor. If you love the video will you please tweet about it, share it on facebook, comment on/like the post on BalconyTV here, comment/like on youtube, like this blog post, etc.

Some of you all have already been sharing and commenting and we appreciate it so much! Thank you all for the continuing love and support. Dave and I are so grateful.

Meet my new friend...

...Mr. plant. I love him. Is that weird? Don't answer that....

...this past weekend Dave and I went out in search for plant to go in the living room. When we got there I spotted a few of these little guys and knew I had to have one for my desk. I had a hard time deciding which one, but finally landed on this guy. I think he's pretty cute.

Not only is it good for you to have plants around the house, but I think it brightens the room a bit too. Now let's just hope I don't kill him...

An outfit and a view...

Last week when Dave recorded his segment with BalconyTV my favorite part about the location was being right on the lake. Water has such a calming affect and it was really nice to get out for a bit and enjoy the scenery...

...don't mind the fact that my face is red, it was 95 degrees at 9pm and barely any breeze. Dave keeps reminding me that it's only getting worse and soon it will be about 20 degrees hotter than this. Aye yi yi.

Top: Lauren Conrad for Kohl's (it's almost half off right now!) // Necklace: Tiffany's (bridesmaid gift) // Skinny jeans: Target // Shoes: Payless (forever ago) // Purple Slice Ring: c/o Found in California

I was so excited to finally purchase one of LC's items at Kohl's! They always have the best sales and I was so happy to find that some of her items were part of the current sale. I am loving this top, so comfy and light, yet still pretty.

I'm also pretty dang excited about the purple slice ring above. I love pretty much all of the gorgeous rings in Found in California's shop and when she sent me this one I was hooked. I've been wearing it just about everywhere, it's so cute! Go check out her shop, you won't be disappointed!
