Life of A Blogger: Favorite Food

This Weeks Topic: Favorite food
Hosted by Kissin' Blue Karen
My favorite food is pasta! 

Here is John wearing bow tie pasta. :P

This is delicious pasta we had in Wisconsin. 

This is a summer pasta dish I made with lots of fresh veggies.

This is my FAVORITE! Pesto chicken made with homemade pesto. It's John's specialty!

Life of A Blogger: Worst reasons I ever bought/read a book

This Weeks Topic: Worst reasons I ever bought/read a book
Hosted by Kissin' Blue Karen
I'm not 100% how to do this topic, but I'm gonna give it a go...

*sigh* I read this book when I was 16 years old because it was on the famous "banned books" list. It was stupid and a complete waste of my time. 

Sooo I bought and read this entire series after I broke up with my boyfriend of 3 years. I had moved to a city where I didn't know anyone and was lonely. At the time, I remember thinking this series was good. A few years later, I went back to read it and couldn't make it through the first book...it was AWFUL. I sold the series back for store credit.

So the boyfriend mentioned above endlessly pestered me until I read these. It took a month to get through each book. I understood about 50% of what I read. The fun part was discussing the books together. Overall, I must say I didn't take away what he loved about these. Honestly, they were forgettable except for their length. 

I loved, LOVED The Time Travelers Wife. So I couldn't wait to get my hands on this book. The pacing was awkward, as were the characters. The ending still sends me into a rage. It's the only time I've ever thrown a book across the room.

Life of A Blogger: Pets

This Weeks Topic: Pets
Hosted by Kissin' Blue Karen





Meet Pumpkin (the orange kitty) and Sharkey (the gray kitty). They are between 3-4 months old. They were the only 2 siblings in their litter and love to do everything together. They love to sit in window sills, play with their toys, eat things they are not supposed to (blinds, picture frames, shoes, etc...), snuggle, and they know the sound of the kitty treat bag opening. They are super sweet and fun and we absolutely love them!

Life of A Blogger: Dreams


This week's topic on Life of a Blogger is dreams.
Hosted by Jessi from Novel Heartbeat


I'm not really sure what to say. Sometimes I remember my dreams when I wake up, and sometimes I don't. If I do, they seem to fade as the day goes on. I've always wanted to keep a dream journal, but I never have. I know your dreams are supposed to be your subconscious telling you somethings, which is why I believe it's important to pay attention to them. 

How about you, dear blogger? What are your thoughts on dreams?

Life of A Blogger: Nature


This week's topic on Life of a Blogger is nature.
Hosted by Jessi from Novel Heartbeat

Ok, so let's be honest. I'm not much of a nature person. Growing up, I lived in the country for a while and nature meant CHORES. Particularly taking care of the chickens. I now hate chickens. Ahem. 

Moving on, when I met John we was really into gardening. And, well...he kinda got me into it too! Last summer neither one of us had a yard, so we did a lot of planting in pots. Here are some of our plants:


Here is our little fairy garden. We had so much fun making it! Unfortunately, the cold got to the moss before I took it in for the winter and it died. Tragic, no?


This was our mini herb garden. In the middle was lemon basil which made the most delicious pesto! However, it had a mind of its own and we had to re-pot it several times because it kept growing at a ridiculous rate!


This is a little pot of mini pansies. I'm saying mini a lot, aren't I? These little beauties got out of control and had to be re-potted several times. What is with our plants growing like crazy?!


Finally, this was referred to as the "sassy plant." It grew like a weed! This was the final pot it ended up in. The annoying thing about this plant, is that the petals would constantly fall off, so I had to sweep around it a lot.

So there is my story of nature. Leave me some of yours in the comments below! :)

Life of A Blogger: Favorite Scents


So this week's topic on Life of a Blogger is a freebie, so I am choosing favorite scents from last year.
Hosted by Jessi from Novel Heartbeat


Apples. Either fresh or baked, their aroma can't be beat!


B&B soap. It's my favorite kind, both in smell and gentleness on my hands!


Chocolate chip cookies! Especially fresh from the oven!


Mint. It's so clean and fresh! Nothing beats it!


Lemon! I can't get enough of that citrus-y smell!


Cinnamon rolls...warm and gooey!


Peaches. Probably my all time favorite smell! :)

So tell me bloggers...what are some of your favorite scents?
