| My sister, Marah, and I have been taking walks almost daily. Between mushrooms and blooming flowers (to see what I'm referring to, scroll down to the next few photos), headphones, water puddles (don't ask >.<), and an old wooden bridge with a scenic view, we're enjoying this time together immensely. |
 |
| A new book!!!! "Overcomer" is amazing, you guys, and soooooo worth the five+ stars. (Thanks, Lilly, for suggesting I read it! <3) |
 |
| Special K., almond milk, and fresh (green) bananas. Yummm. |
 |
| Photo shoots with my sweet four-month-old sister, Ruby Jane. :) |
 |
| I get to be a judge in Mrs. Marlow's Circle C writing contest!!!!!!!!!!!!! This has been my dream for the past three+ years, so I'm REALLY excited. :D :D :D |
 |
| Book signing!!!!!! |
 |
| Lots of rain . . . |
 |
| Styling my sister's hair. :D |
 |
| My sweet friend, Emma, brought me some fantabulous bookmail the other day. *all the heart eyes* |
 |
| By the river! |
 |
| My amazing (somewhat organized) bookshelf!! |
 |
| Sisters. <3 <3 <3 |

Love the pics!
ReplyDeleteThanks! <3
DeleteThe pic's are lovely! Your little sisters are so cute! 💕
ReplyDeleteAww, thank you! <3
DeleteThe bookshelf picture is the only one that I can't click on to make bigger; I think I recognized some "Dear America" diary books, Grandma's Attic, and Caddie Woodlawn; those are really the only things I could see.
ReplyDelete-Hannah
Yeah, I don't know what's up with that. *scratches head thoughtfully* But YES, there are a few "Dear America" books, the Grandma's Attic series, and Caddie Woodlawn. :) All great reads!
DeleteThanks for commenting, Hannah!
I own a few of the Mandie books.... And Caddie Woodlawn. And the Grandma's Attic series. Even after Mabel got married.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! *smiles*
DeleteOh, and definitely green bananas!
DeleteYesssss. ;)
DeleteCool post! I did enjoy it! Probably the board walk, it reminds me of my favorite place. Ripe bananas all the way!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Leah! Glad to know you enjoyed this impromptu post. :) Ripe bananas are tasty, although I personally prefer them when they're green. ;D
DeleteSo enjoyable!
ReplyDeleteWait, your a judge?! *mind blown*
LOVE the book shelf!
Great to hear! :)
DeleteYes, I am!!!! #superduperexcited
Aw, thanks! <3
I loved reading this! I just love it when people do photo dumps!!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite pictures were, the first and sixth. <3
Green bananas? Really? That sounds awful. xP
I recognized a few books that we own on your book shelf but don't feel like typing what they were. xD
Have a blessed day!!

Thanks, Liberty! I do too! :)
DeleteLOL, green bananas (in my opinion) are actually quite yummy. And as for having them with my favorite breakfast cereal? Mmmm. Happiness in a bowl. xD
Thank you! Hope you have a blessed day as well! <3
It looks really pretty where you’ve been walking! What’s Romanov about? Is it about Anastasia?
ReplyDeleteHi Laura! Yes, Romanov is essentially a fictional retelling of Anastasia's life. :) It was an enjoyable read, although I think there may have been just a little too much romance and magic thrown in for me. I gave it four stars on Goodreads. :)
DeleteLovely books. I know this is probably a dumb question, but what's Special K?
ReplyDeleteGirl, you haven't heard of Special K???? *is positively aghast* It's only the best breakfast cereal EVER. :D You can probably find it in the cereal aisle of your local supermarket, if you're interested in trying it out at some point. I like to think of Special K as being a "healthier version" of Rice Krispies. :)
DeleteNope, never heard of Special K. *Googles it* Girl, you know when the last time I have had a box of cereal!? *tries to remember* I think it's been 3+ years. I'll have to try it out at some point in time.🙂
DeleteYes, SOON. 😂😂😂
Delete*Lovely pictures is what I meant!
ReplyDeleteHaha, that's all right. Books are lovely too. ;)
DeleteLove these pics!!! The scenic ones give me so much peace. <3
ReplyDeleteROMANOV YESSS! Have you started it yet??
Aww that little pic of you and Sadie is the cutest. :))
Thank youuuuu!! <3 <3 <3
DeleteYes, I did! I finished Romanov like . . . the weekend after you gave it to me. xD (I'm assuming you didn't see my rating on Goodreads?)
Thanks, friend. :)
I didn't--I just checked and I saw you gave it 4 stars!! That's what I gave it too. XD
ReplyDeleteWhat did you think?? Thoughts??
I really liked it! The plot was well-done and Nadine's writing style (as always) spectacular. I was deeply enthralled the entire time, breathing a sigh of remorse when at last I reached the final page.
DeleteLike I told Laura (above), however, there was a bit more romance and mentions of magic than I'd like. Also, as I don't believe that magic and God go together, having the characters entreat to our Lord while using spells of their own just seemed to rub me wrong.
Overall, however, I enjoyed the read and will definitely be coming back to this book sometime soon. :)
Thanks so much!!!
My mom has been reading "The Family Romanov" out-loud to us, and the Romanov's religion was very pagan. Alexandra (Anastasia's mother) and some of the kids had a LOT of icons and constantly prayed to them. Then there's the magic part and their religion was really weird. (Similar to Catholic.) (I don't know if I recommend "The Family Romanov", we haven't finished it and I think my mom cut a few parts out.)
DeleteYes, that would make sense. :)
DeleteThank you for sharing!
I love the photos!
ReplyDeleteThank you! <3
DeleteFun pictures!
ReplyDeleteThanks! <3333
DeleteMmm... Special K. So yummy, especially the strawberry kind. Cute pictures! I also prefer slightly under-ripe green bananas. I like the firmness and I think it tastes better. :)
ReplyDeleteYessssss. I haven't yet tried the strawberry flavor (only the plain). I'll have to keep that in mind . . .
DeleteYay!! Another under-ripe green banana lovin' blogger friend! xD *offers you a high-five*
I loved these pictures! And I just can't believe how big Ruby and Sadie are getting!
ReplyDeleteThank you!!
DeleteI know, right?! They're both growing up WAY too fast. xD
So I've noticed 😂
DeleteAwww, such cute pictures! <3
ReplyDelete~Elate
Thanks! <3
DeleteHello Ellen! You see, I'm very inspired by your blog updates! And, I was hoping, could I have some advice on how to write and publish a good book?
ReplyDeleteP.S. Great Pics!
Hi Kavinila! Thank you so much! <3
DeleteSure! What kind of advice are you looking for? :)
Oh, you know, just the basics... How you'd get inspired to write and think of new ideas... How to create your own book cover, and stuff like that!
DeleteP.S. Love your posts! It would be wonderful if you read one of the chapters of my book in my blog... Took some time writing it!

ReplyDeleteThank youuuuuu!! <3 <3 <3
DeleteSuch fun pictures!!!!
ReplyDeleteRuby Jane is SOOOOO cute!!! That smile...*heart eyes*
AND CONGRATS ON BEING A JUDGE!!! That's so exciting; I'm so excited for you!!! And congrats with FIFTY FOLLOWERS!!! THAT'S AWESOME!!
I recognize a lot of the books on your shelf; especially the MANDIE books. (They used to be my absolute FAVORITE when I was little; I was obsessed with anything mystery. But then the Circle C took it's place *winks*.)
I really enjoyed this photo dump!
~Gracie~
Thank you so, so much, Gracie!! Your comment made my day. <3
DeleteYes, same here with the Mandie/Circle C books!! (which reminds me . . . I need to share a pic of my updated Andi shelf sometime soon. ;D) CIRCLE C IS THE BEST!! :)
Thanks again for your sweet comment! Hope you have a blessed rest of the evening! <3
