I‘m linking up with Leigh Kramer for What I’m Into

1. The new Coldplay album

I love, love, love Coldplay, and this album came at the perfect time right before our beach trip.

2. The Nesting Place and The One & Only

I’ve been slowly and deliberately devouring The Nester’s beautiful book, Nesting Place. Seriously. It’s beautiful and it just tugs at my heart. And I’m planning to read more of Emily Giffin’s new book in the car on the way to the beach. Are you on Goodreads? Someone asked where I find my book recommendations. A lot of it is word of mouth or reading reviews in magazines and newspapers, but I also love Goodreads.

3. This shirt from Anthropologie is my new favorite thing. I want to wear it every single day.

4. This blog post I read by Emily Freeman was the best thing I’ve read in a long, long time. You should read it, too!

I’m also linking up with the lovely Emily Freeman for What I Learned in May 

1. This month, I learned that my body’s reaction to pollen season tends to change every five years or so. I used to get these horrible sinus infections. Now I just completely lose my voice and don’t have any other symptoms. And while I was regaining my voice, I was asked to sing a solo at church. So then I also learned that if I drank a honey and lemon juice concoction for 24 hours, I could regain my voice enough to pull it off.

2. I actually do like playing outside with my boys. Yeah, I don’t love to sweat, but who cares, right? Let’s make some fun memories outside while they run their little hearts out.

3. I really do love my morning coffee. A tiny splash of dairy first thing in the morning is necessary for me to have my best day.

4. Making a strawberry pie is a lot of fun. Making a perfect strawberry pie takes practice. Eating a strawberry pie is amazing!
