A Year of Weekly Inspiration

Hello Lovelies!

It's been a little over a year since I started my Weekly Inspiration series and today I just wanted to look back at that and say thank you to everyone who has continued reading my blog even through the silence.

Since it's been a little over a year I think it's time to change my Weekly Inspirations up a little. I've decided to go with a new background for my posts.

But before we say farewell, here's a look back at the past year!

Thank you for another year of blogging and here's to the years to come!

XoXo,

Top Ten Tuesday: Books I Enjoyed Recently

Hello Lovelies!

Top 10 Tuesday is a weekly link-up hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.

This week's theme: Ten Book I Enjoyed Recently (last yearish) That Weren't My Typical Genre/Type of Book (or that was out of your comfort zone)

I could only come up with five books for this weeks topic, but I promise they are all great reads!

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

This is a first read for me, I've seen the movies, but I've never read the books. I just started the third section of the first book and I have to say I think the movies did a really good job at staying true to the original story.

Dark Visions by L.J. Smith

I am also currently reading this book, yes I'm one of those people who reads multiple books at a time! L.J. Smith is one of my favorite authors of all time, I love her Night World Series and I'm still holding out hope that she might finish the last book one day.

Trail of Secrets by Eileen Goudge

This is a re-read for me, I finished it for the millionth time last month and I still love it just as much as i did the first time.

Rodeo Rescuer by Lynette Eason
I LOVED reading this one, I loved the first one and this one was just as perfect! I would definitely recommend this one if you want a quick, easy read.

Falling Fast by Tina Wainscott
Honestly this book is so good, it could definitely pass for a Nicholas Sparks book!

Links to Love

Hello Lovelies!

I hope you all had a good week, mine was actually pretty good. Work wasn't too bad, I found an easier way to transport my 70 pound dog to the vet, and I finally got my doctors appointment in Nashville rescheduled for next week.

Honestly the reason I didn't post this week is because I've been struggling with coming up with blog post ideas. While I took my blogging break I didn't really keep up with blogging trends, beauty trends, fashion, etc. So if you have a blog post you would like to see let me know in the comments or email me and I'll try to work on it!

Here's this week's Links to Love...

February Playlist

Hello Lovelies!

I hope you've all had a good week! My week has been very snowy, which is very unusual for Western Kentucky! But I'm not complaining, I love the winter and I love snow, I'm just tired of listening to everyone else complain about it!

I decided to do my monthly playlist a little different this month and include one of my Spotify playlists. So here is this months playlist!

Here's a few random songs I love!

Timeflies - Wagon Wheel
Snow Patrol - Chasing Cars
Demi Lovato - Waitin For You ft. Sirah

And here's my Spotify playlist that I've been listening to the most!

That's all for today I know I have one more post for this week and I think that will be it. I'm doing my best to not get overwhelmed with blogging again. I want everything to be perfect, but it's never going to be perfect.

XoXo,

Lori

Links to Love

Hello Lovelies!

Let me start by saying I know I haven't been blogging much here lately. The truth is last month I had an accident with my blog design and it really pissed me off to the point where I actually considered deleting the whole thing, but I didn't.

I decided to just take a few weeks to cool off before trying to fix it. I think I have most of it fixed but I still have a list of things I haven't got back to normal yet. Over the years I had put a lot of coding and design work into this blog and it's all gone, so please bear with me while I try to better my blog.

So what happened? Well, I was trying to make some improvements and of course I forgot to backup my blog before starting and my improvements went wrong, very wrong. It wasn't what I wanted and I had to redo everything.

I doubt any of you really wanna know all the details, all you need to know is things went very screwy and I'm working on fixing things!

It's still a new year and it's a new month!
Stay positive!
