Inspired by Soule Mama once again, my list:
1 :: Eleanor Coppola’s “Notes on a Life”:

Buy it here. I got the recommendation from another blog (I can’t remember who, sorry, let me know if it was you!) and I love this book. Love, love, love. From the first paragraph I knew I would love it. I just really connect with her writing style.
2 :: That a big city fireworks show is tomorrow night (instead of next weekend, so we have next weekend free) and that it is within walking distance. I can’t wait to see what Cora thinks.
3 :: A post today from the Live Lightly Tour that their journey will be continuing, and that they are adding another family to the tour! I’m so excited (and I not-so-secretly wish I could join them!). They will be coming through here in August and I can’t wait to stop by and see them.
4 :: The plan to make these:

Hopefully this weekend. Super yum. Recipe taken from here and the link to the recipe taken A CraftyCrow.
5 :: This great lamp I just bought at Target, I’ve wanted one like this for a long time and this one was cheap.

Buy it here.
6 :: Loving these wall flowers, found via Ohh Dee Doh:
7 :: Some quiet time this evening while the husband took the girls for a walk after a no good very bad day.
8 :: Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale
9 :: 
This was purchased tonight at Cost Plus World Market. I’d been wanting to try it for ages after seeing a raving review of it somewhere. I had to have it. Even better then the idea of new chocolate is the lovely instructions on how to eat it on the back.
“First breathe….Engage your senses. Take 3 deep breaths, quiet the chattering mind and be in the present moment.”
It goes on to explain how to “see, smell, snap, bite, and sense” the chocolate. If only I paid that close attention to what I eat all the time. Maybe I’d eat less and enjoy it more. I’ll be saving this package.
10 :: Wonder Time magazine, picked up tonight. I love everything from the content, to the photos, and even how the magazine feels in my hands. I think I will be getting a subscription.
