his/hers: summer reads

His/Hers is a weekly series started by Alli and Brooke (Horray and Pure & Noble)—I decided to join in the fun.

I had originally photographed Jason's textbooks for this his/hers Friday, but his last final was yesterday (which he totally passed) and this will be the last of the summer breaks for my fella. So I chose not to spotlight the schoolbooks because schoolbooks are no fun after you have lived and breathed them for the past month and they make for a pretty boring photo too.


So instead these are our books to read this summer summer summer time.


I've been on a reading frenzy lately. When the day's done and I have sworn off the computer for the rest of the evening and Jason is studying I have been enjoying a good book or ten. I love good books, I don't love ok books or boring books, therefore I am a GoodReads junky. Love it for the reviews and seeing what friends are reading and enjoying.... it's a great resource. If you don't have an account, get yourself one and maybe we can even be friends.
Jas has been jealous of my books over this last quarter (I think he may have been jealous of anything besides studying) so he's pretty pumped to crack open a few of his own and he's got himself quite a little pile!


My two very favorites that I have read recently are These Is My Words by Nancy Turner (I have never cared for a character as much as I did reading this book, and I have never fallen in love with a character as I did in this book—so captivating, you just get caught up in the story) and The Help by Kathryn Stockett (loved this one! loved all of the characters, loved it all. and the movie comes out in August!!).


What books have you read or heard lots about lately??

his/hers: wallets

His/Hers is a weekly series started by Alli and Brooke (Horray and Pure & Noble)—I decided to join in the fun.

Jas doesn't like to sit down with things in his pockets (is this a guy thing?) and it's not exactly trendy for guys to carry purses or man-bags with them where ever they go so somehow his 150 lb wallet (seriously, that guy collects all sorts of cards—paper, plastic, he's not picky) always ended up in my 317 lb purse. So for Valentines my suuuuuuuper romantic self bought him this new, totally rad wallet that can only hold so much (two pockets on each side and a thin middle slot for cash or whatev). Genius! Plus his other wallet was on its last stitch—literally.

And here is my little clutch wallet in all of her floral-glory. Good old Target, "where you can expect more and pay less" (catchy, no?).

Maybe I should try to develop his dislike for sitting with things in pockets. That is how I broke my cellphone, but that was 2 phones ago.........or has it been an unknown epidemic? Ooo. Intrigue.

p.s. It's my mama's birthday!!!! That's right, March 25. I think it's a cute day for a birthday, but September 4 might be cuter. Anyways.........Happy Birthday Mom! We think you're tops.

his/hers: drinks of choice

His/Hers is a weekly series started by Alli and Brooke (Horray and Pure & Noble)—I decided to join in the fun.

It's true. Jason always always always chooses the flower cups. He calls them our "fancy cups" and drinks his (insert gatorade or any type of juice—except prune, straight cranberry or original v8 here) in them every time. And it makes me smile every time.

That boy can down the juice/gatorade.

I am not afraid to admit that I'm a Diet Coke girl. In the can—or fountain at Horkley's in Rexburg (best fountain drinks ever)—and no other way. I think it runs in the family or something.


The whole soda thing started with a 22 oz Coke whenever I got a killer migraine, and now it's turned into a 12 pack sitting in my cupboard. Oops. At least I switched to Diet.


Don't be hatin.
