Exciting new read...

I haven't been so excited to read a book in a long time. Usually, choosing a book involves gazing at the newly added shelf at the local library until I find something that looks mildly intriguing and I check it out. Or at least until Marlow starts causing a ruckus in the children's area and we get start getting the stink eye. In which case I grab something and hope for the best.

But, that was until I stumbled upon this! The Night Circus! I just started reading yesterday and I am totally smitten and will be so sad when it ends. A black and white circus that comes and goes with no rhyme or reason and is open from dusk to dawn, "where magic springs from the fingertips of two lovers," yes please.

Give it a try, it will not disappoint!

Song on repeat...and I mean REPEAT

Can I please wake up tomorrow and sing like this? That would be great!

New year....New Calendar

One of my favorite things about the new year(and there are many), is picking out a new calendar. One that will grace the side of the fridge for the next twelve months and tell the story of our year.

I stumbled upon this amazing free printable last year and searched for it again this year, and to my surprise they are offering it again. This time with all new artists, including our own local Patty Backer. If you haven't seen her stuff, you must simply check it out. Just love those birds with teeth!

So here it is...a link to your own customizable owl (you know I love owls, right?)calendar. Just select a picture for each month and click create! All you have to do is print it out and hang it on the fridge.
