Somewhere in Middle America

my other blogging gig

Once upon a time I blogged at Elizabeth Anne Designs Living. After a brief hiatus to deal with life, I’m back and writing about what I’ve been up to the past 4 months. Curious? Click here to check it out — and don’t forget to comment and join the conversation!

Can you believe that it’s June? I’ve been MIA recently because my little sister got married over Memorial Day Weekend! I was home in New Jersey the week leading up to the wedding helping with last minute preparations. Don’t worry, I will post photos soon!

A couple of loyal readers recently told me how much they used to enjoy the links I would post on Fridays, so I decided to bring back my weekly “Link Up” feature. Happy reading!

A campfire treat gets even more indulgent. (via you are my fave)

From the curly hair to the studded shoes, she looks beautiful.

My 30th birthday was a bust, so I’m going to celebrate 31 like Joy.

I’m adding this movie to my Netflix list.

Did you know I have a new Twitter name?

I wish I could have gone to the Orange Beautiful grand opening in Chicago.

I can see myself comfortably wearing every single one of these outfits.

my darling lovely dear

oh-darling-letters

Although I may have been guilty of committing these offenses in the past, I’m reformed and now find myself completely annoyed by bloggers who use expressions like “my darlings,” “my lovelies” and “dear readers” when addressing their followers. It’s a bit pretentious, no?

Also, I don’t  understand the use of  “bebe” or “bebes” instead of “baby” or “babies” by bloggers, but perhaps that’s because I’m not a mom.

Anything you want to get off your chest? I hereby propose March 31st to be a day of ranting.

do you know the way to san jose?

The only way I could be more impressed by this birthday gift would be if her husband paid for all 8 of her friends to spend the weekend at the Hotel San Jose, too. Talk about a generous 30th birthday present!

PS – I’ll take a weekend getaway here, please. Who’s in?
