What I love....


I absolutely adore libraries! At the risk of sounding like a complete nerd (which I admit, I kind of am...), I love collecting books sky high and checking them out to savor them for two weeks before having to return them. I'm studying to be a kindergarten teacher, so I also have a warm place in my heart for children's books. After a recent trip to the library with my prince charming, I thought I'd recommend some books to my blog readers. Have a look-see, they are excellent choices!
  • Elizabeth Taylor: My Love Affair with Jewelry- If you love things that sparkle, glisten, and gleam, this book is for you. Afterall, "diamonds are a girl's best friend"

  • Southern Living: Homestyle Classics- I am a big fan of their magazine- and of course all things Southern! Try the 10 cup cookies and the fruit salad with honey pecan dressing. PC and I made dinner for his Momma last night and both were big hits!

  • What would Jackie do?- I think all preps can agree: JBKO was the epitome of style and grace. This clever little book talks all about how to incorporate the Jackie way of life into your own!

  • The Modern Girl's Guide to Life- From making the perfect rib eye to folding a fitted sheet this book has it all! I loved reading it and learning a little to better my status as a domestic goddess in training.

  • A is for Apron- I have to admit, my favorite part of baking is wearing an apron. This books has hundreds!

  • Fancy Nancy- Ok, confession time: I love children's books. They are absolutely precious and so clever! This series, about a little girl named Nancy who desperately wants to be fancy will have you smiling for days!

  • Debrett's Etiquette for Girls- This book didn't tell me anything my mother didn't teach me, but it was filled with beautiful photos and suggestions for behaving gracefully in every situation under the sun.

I hope these recommendations give you some inspiration to indulge in your own local library. Happy reading!

Greetings!

Good Afternoon, blog world! 
I'm super excited as this is my very first blog posting! I stumbled upon blogs quite accidently while in search of the perfect prep dorm decor, and was instantly enamored with the lovely ideas, fashions, and all things prep I found there! Inspired, I decided to try my hand at it myself! Please follow me as I chronicle the adventures of my daily life (never a dull moment!) and offer my personal insights on anything and everything!

They Like Me, They Really Like Me!
