The Sunday Currently v. 8
A link up originally hosted by Sidda Thornton, now a tradition I continue on Sundays to share the week’s happenings.
Let’s see if I can get this done while it’s still Sunday. It was a busier than normal week– or rather more frazzled than normal week. My schedule felt like it was upside down. I’ve missed my Sunday wind down mornings and wind up evenings preparing for the week. This is the first Sunday in four Sundays I’ve spent the time trying to get back to my routine. Granted two of those were spent in Disney World, but still. Hopefully this will be my first “normal” week!

Here’s what else I’ve been currently doing:
Reading:: last week it was tweets. This week it’s articles and blog posts about tweets. I’m a little obsessed with it right now.
- Old books exude character. Perfect for reading and for adding some color to decor. There’s always a gem to be found at book sales.
- Mali is the cutest and posted her very first “vlog” aka video blog. She got some awesome stuff!
- If you’re in the New York/New Jersey area, I don’t think there’s a more essentially fall farm to visit than the one Jenn took her family too.
- Even though we have churros here in the States, these that Elizabeth shares from Singapore make me want to hop on a plane now.
- This week’s installment of “from one mama to another” is up on Keeping up with the Haneys. I’m not a mom and no where near being one, but these posts are encouraging. Real moms letting other moms what’s up and that they’re not alone!
- 6 Ways to Grow Your Blog or Business Using Twitter. Told you I’m obsessed with Twitter.
- Target (and Fran for that matter) are always hitting it out of the park delivering dupes for less.
- A fellow blogger friend Jenn, is selling some of her beautiful items here! She’s a fellow J.Crew lover!
- Only stop at Starbucks ONCE. There’s no easy way to admit this, but I have an addiction. No one needs multiple PSLs in a week. They just don’t. It’s a want, so I’m allowing myself one want this week.
- Finalize and photograph my fall/winter capsule. While I plan on adjusting it just a little when highs start hovering around 50° there’s not too much that needs to change except adding tights and coats, so I plan on calling it a day once I fill a few more wardrobe holes.
- Post on the blog four times. This will be an easy one to see if I accomplish it. Simply follow along. I have so many ideas, I just need to bring them to life!
- Test out a gluten free recipe. As noted above we’re entertaining this weekend and the next. This coming weekend our friends visiting the Hayes home have a gluten free diet and I want to fix something exciting, but we all know you never try something new the night of the dinner!
I am not great at twitter, in fact I don't really like it, I think I'm just getting too old… And yes to Starbucks in moderation, it's so expensive!
Shopping with other bloggers is one of my favorite things – even though we are such enablers! If I shop with my mom everything I pick up she will tell me is too expensive, haha.
starbucks is a slippery slope – do you at least have a gold card? they've been getting me to come in a lot with all their promotions lately.
Chic on the Cheap
My gold card is a necessity! Starbucks has been running decent sales and promos. Recently, I've been there probably 4/5 days out of the week and that's putting a dent in the spending money quicker than I like.
We're already planning another day to shop together! Anthropolgie has final cut center about two hours from our area.
Twitter gets so overwhelming! You're not too old, it's just so difficult. lol.
