Have You Heard? // A Fine Frenzy - "What I Wouldn't Do"

Happy Friday Friends! I'm so glad that this week is over, and that we have some fun things but also some downtime planned! :)

This song is from yearrrrsss ago but it's still one of my favorites. It's so so so so so sweet. So I thought I'd share it today. After the shitty political week we're having (I can't even go there right now) I just wanted to be happy.



So, I hope that this sends you off into a happy Friday.

What are you up to this weekend?!

We are seeing The Sun Is Also A Star tonight. It was the cutest book ever, and I am not sure I can handle the screen adaptation. Both of the actors are so beautiful and it seems like they are going to have great on-screen chemistry. We'll see, Everything, Everything was not very good... even though I liked seeing it anyway. Then we have a bit of downtime before graduation for my cousins and their parties. My grandma is in town so I am excited to see her. My sister is off on a cruise (WOOHOO!) so we will try to hang out with my family and my nephew here. He's hanging out with my mom for the week. :)

Have You Heard? // A Fine Frenzy - "Now Is The Start"

Hello friends!

I mentioned that my new year is off to a rocky start due to some external stuff... (thank you for your sweet comments by the way!!) but I'm feeling oddly motivated by not having any control over it. Does that make sense? Either which way, I'm happy to say I've mostly kept motivation to make changes that I want to make, and work toward things I want to see happening soon!

This is one of my favorite, "you can do it!" songs. It's upbeat and fun, and it makes me want to dance and sing. I don't know, but I'm feeling like it's a good start to the first full weekend in 2017. I hope it gives you a feeling like you can do whatever it is you hope to this weekend!



I actually love a lot of this album, and I think I may have shared this one before.. but I don't care! hehe

Enjoy & have a lovely weekend!

What are you up to this weekend? We are supposed to get an ice storm. So we have some possible plans (hanging out with my sister while the boys watch football, and prepping marmalade with my friend Rachel to can on Monday!) Yay, for long weekends! Other than that, I am hoping to continue the productive streak and possibly see La La Land. Has anyone seen it yet?!?
