Currently {February}
Ahhh…the 1st day of a new month! I was really just settling in nicely to January so let’s see if I can pick up the pace in 2017.
I had grand plans to come up with 28 outfits from 28 pieces of clothes this month but then I was invited to Vegas and there went that! If you are looking for a fun way to mix up your closet, hope on over to see the Create 28 Whitney and Carrie put together for February.
Here is what is currently going on over here to start February!
Packing….for VEGAS! Ever since I started “rolling” my clothes we have been able to travel with carry on luggage and it is a game changer! Cassie at Hi Sugarplum shared her tips for how to pack 10 days in 1 carry on a while back. Lots of great tips I’ve implemented the past few years ever since we missed a flight due to long lines and checked bags.
Jonesing….for a nice cold beer! I have been on a little cleanse so no alcohol but what sounds best is a nice cold beer! Betting I can find one on our trip!
Texting….my friends and family about the new (to me) clown emoji. I’m not like super afraid of clowns or anything but they are a little freaky and given all the clown scares this past year this was just too much. Okay, I may be being dramatic but that’s what I’m texting about!
Reading…all the books! Y’all, seriously all of 2016 I only read 12 books (see book review here) and I’m already 78% through with book number 5!
I’m currently about 78% through Before the Fall and I’m not going to lie, this book has definitely kept me turning the pages. There have been a couple of chapters that drug along a bit but overall I’m captivated and cannot wait to finish!
Hearting….this guy! We took our first trip to Vegas together in October 2000! We were just babies. See, even back then he was not a smiler! If it was up to him I would still be this blonde. Can’t wait to spend some time having fun together!
Today I’m joining Anne and Erin for a look at what is currently going on over here as well as Jenn and Jessi for What’s Hap-“pinning” Wednesday and the fun ladies below for What We’re Reading Wednesday!
Have fun in Vegas! I would love to go right now… warm sunshine and good food. 🙂 I'll have to look into the book, It Ends With Us. It sounds interesting. And what a cute picture of you and your husband.
Have a fabulous trip! My #2 is deathly afraid of clowns. She won't update her emojis!! Poor kid. I really don't think it was necessary to be honest, and was in poor taste given all that took place this past fall.
Have so much fun in Vegas!! Don't go too crazy 😉
I just started reading it ends with us and so far I am loving it. And yay for going to vegas. Have the best time
I have It Ends With Us is on hold at the library and can't wait to read it! Enjoy your trip to Vegas!

ahhh lovin' that super blonde hair! haha Take me to Vegas!!! Also, way to go on the books! Send some of that reading motivation my way please! xo
Vegas is going to be SO cool. I can't wait to hear all about it.
Those books all look so great! Will have to give them a look!! It is my turn to pick our book club book soon. And have a great time in Vegas! My husband and I just got back and we had an AMAZING time. Not sure if you plan to stick to the Strip or if you are going to do any day adventures, but we LOVED Red Rock Canyon (gorgeous scenic drive and hiking spots) and getting to see the Hoover Dam. The wineries are worth the drive too!
I love love It Ends With Us. Such a good book and pretty much all of Hoover's books are great reads.
OH man, more books to add to the list 🙂 I love a good series…I need to get an e-reader of sorts, I don't have enough space for all of these books I'm buying!
Have fun in Vegas! I haven't been, but it's definitely on my travel bucket list!
Have fun in Vegas! That is one place I would love to go! Also I'm impressed that you can make a carryon work for you! I try but I'm an overpacker just can seem to not haha!

It Ends with us is next on my reading list
You guys are going to have the best time in Vegas! Oh man, I'm jealous!
Our bestie are headed to Vegas tomorrow for the super bowl — you should totally look for them !!! BWAHAHAHAHA!! Have a fabulous time and drink that cold beer. Drink several! Its Vegas after all! Are you seeing any shows? The Michael Jackson show is WONDERFUL! Highly recommend! Have fun!
Never been to Vegas but going anywhere right about now sounds great to me! Have the best time!
Vegas sounds like such a fun trip! I can't wait to see pictures!
I'm super excited just to get away Erica! I would prefer a beach but Vegas will have to do!
Girl…I KNOW!! I am counting the minutes!
Ha! So fun. I'm excited. We are going to see Britney!
I'm very optimistic it will be our best trip yet!
Thank you Heather!! Definitely read the book….loved it!
Brittany…I am a TOTAL overpacker too!! But definitely the rolling method has changed my life! 🙂
I want to read that Elin series! I've read a couple of hers and loved them all! And yay for beer! Drink some for me!

Have a great time in Vegas! You and that guy are such cuties! Way to go on the reading! Knocking it out of the park!
I loved It Ends With Us! Colleen Hoover has become a favorite author. Before the Fall is on my to read list. Have fun in Vegas! I haven't been since I've had kids……so awhile!
Oh wow! FUN! One of Kelsey's friends saw her this past weekend and he posted snippets on IG. She looked amazing!!! ENJOY!
That clown emoji is the creepiest thing I've seen in awhile! I had no idea it was on there. Now I'm going to have to find it! Vegas? How did I miss that you're going on a getaway? Have a wonderful time! Thanks for the packing inspiration too. I am a pretty light packer, but need to get serious about just bringing a carry on!
I just finished It Ends With Us and thought it was so thought provoking. I read the Winter series over Christmas and loved that too. Have so much fun in Vegas!
Oh gosh, those clown emojies are really creepy. Have fun in Vegas. I hope to go sometime this year to celebrate my sister's 30th. 🙂 She's been and really liked it and wants to go back.
Yay for your reading in January. Keep it up,
Lauren

Vegas, how fun! I've never been, but it's definitely on my bucket list. Love the idea of 28 outfits in 28 days, I'll have to check it out. 🙂 Thanks for linking up!
Thanks for hosting Erin! I'm definitely putting create 28 on my to do list for next year.
Wasn't it though? It's always so easy to sit on the outside and watch a situation and think you know for sure how you would handle only to realize that's so easy when you are not emotionally vested. Have a great weekend Lana!
Tanya if you guys ever go the carry on route you wil never fly any other way (except maybe over seas!). This is our third time traveling this way and I'm confident I still overpacked!
Nancy do you have another one of her books you would suggest!! I'm almost done with Before the Fall and need to download another good read.
Thanks Carrie!
i will most certainly drink a beer for you Sarah! What's your fave?!!
Brittany I am such an over packer too! The first time I was slightly panicked but I still had more than I needed. I seriously think the trick is the roll method to fitting more into the bag! Everyone needs to visit Vegas at least once!
Angry Orchard!!! Or any strawberry flavored beer!
Her stand-alones November 9 and Confess were great! She also has two series, Hopeless and Slammed which are awesome as well!
Thank you!!
