BAWL-FEST 2012

A few weeks ago I was approached about reading a book written by Stephanie Nielsen of the Nie Nie Dialogues.  I was excited because I was already planning on reading it!

Reading the book awakened within me a huge sense of love and empathy for someone I don't personally know.  I literally cried through the whole thing and kept imagining myself in that situation and how I would deal with it.  It's a book about hope as well as her relationship with her darling husband 'Mr Nielsen' and their 4 beautiful children.  She describes deeply personal near death experiences, and shares with her readers how her relationship with Jesus Christ strengthened her and got her through difficult times.  I received the book and had finished it within 24 hours because it was such a good book.  After reading it I had a desire to be a better mother and to view my own personal beauty as something that is truly found on the inside.  Read it you will feel so blessed for all you have and feel encouraged to become a better person!!

Pre-order it here (it comes out April 3) and let me know if you read it what you think!!!

OOTD- Beaded Eglantine makes an appearance!

In Las Vegas I hit up Anthro and found this cute little cardi on second cuts YAY!!!  It satisfied my longing for this little guy (at least for now!)  So I paired it with my new love, these comfy pants can I tell you how glad I am that I grabbed them (on sale no less!)  It's so cold here so I will have to roll down these guys before heading out, but I love that they have options!  Here is what I am wearing today...
Cardigan Anthropologie Beaded Eglantine: similar here
Top Anthro: similar here
Pants Anthropologie: Lazy Days Trousers
Belt Anthropologie Snake Bite: similar here
Shoes All Black: Quilted Diamond Flats
Necklace Tiffany: Bow Pendant

How cute are the little details on this cardi?


Lastly I want to say that I finished reading the book Matched and I LOVED it!!!!  If you liked the The Hunger Games this is a MUST read!!!
