I workout...

Not so much actually.  My workouts are currently limited to walking up/down the three flights of stairs to our temporary apt.  I have considered getting into running though.  In Charleston, there are always 5Ks and more nearly every weekend...seems like it would be something my husband and I could do together too.

These super cute tanks from etsy shop Ruffles With Love might give me a little extra motivation to start working out more.

 Cute, right?!

 

Meredith over at Is This Thing On? is currently having a giveaway for a tank of your choice on her blog...ends Sunday, June 9th at midnight so head over and enter! :)

{I do not get extra entries for mentioning this giveaway on my blog...I just think these tanks are so bad ass that I wanted to share}

Book Club Friday: The Night Circus

Hey y'all!  

Today I am sharing this book:

 Here is what Amazon.com says about the book:

 

The circus arrives without warning. No announcements precede it. It is simply there, when yesterday it was not. Within the black-and-white striped canvas tents is an utterly unique experience full of breathtaking amazements. It is called Le Cirque des Rêves, and it is only open at night.

But behind the scenes, a fierce competition is underway: a duel between two young magicians, Celia and Marco, who have been trained since childhood expressly for this purpose by their mercurial instructors. Unbeknownst to them both, this is a game in which only one can be left standing. Despite the high stakes, Celia and Marco soon tumble headfirst into love, setting off a domino effect of dangerous consequences, and leaving the lives of everyone, from the performers to the patrons, hanging in the balance.

 

Honestly, after I read the description, I was like meh...  It didn't really sound like the type of book I would like.  BUT...several friends on Facebook were just raving about how awesome it was so I thought I'd give it a go.  

 

I must say, I LOVED this book.  I thought it was so unique and creative.  I was scared to finish the book because I just didn't want this story to end.  I am also impressed that this is the first book Erin Morgenstern has published.  I'm sure every first-time author wishes for the debut she has made with this book!

 

Have you read The Night Circus??  What did you think?

Three Things Thursday

Hey y'all!  Today I'm linking up for Three Things with hosts  Kristyn @ Carolina Fireflies and Myranda @ Pretty Living PDX and co-host Kelsey @ Running With My Tiara On

Today's things are movies!  I love movies but rarely see them in theaters because it's hard to get my 5 yr old to sit still for that long.

Here are three of my favorites:

1.  The Goonies

 This movie never gets old. I love that my children love this too!

2.  How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days

 "Our love fern...you let it diiiie"

So many funny moments in this movie. Kate Hudson is so adorable and this is one of my favorite Matthew McConaughey movies.

3.  Definitely, Maybe

 This is such a great movie.  Even my husband loves it.

There are so many other movies I could list... Sweet Home Alabama, 13 Going on 30, Clear and Present Danger, Laura (from the 1940s), etc. 

 

This is my first link-up. If you want to link up, be sure to go check out Kelsey, Myranda and Kristyn's blogs!

Have a great day!

Bea Arthur and other randomness

Alright.

Anyone else bought anything in the Let's Cha Cha print?!

I'm currently reading:

 I've wanted to read this book for awhile now. I'm about half-way done and it has been really good thus far. Anyone else read it? What'd you think about it?

Loving this song so much:

Off to get my kids and then head to the pool! It's hot out there today!

Have a good one y'all!
