March Resolutions

This month was awesome for my book resolution....

I am obsessed with The Great Gatsby and the Fitzgeralds (the author). For Christmas, I used some of my gift card money to get a recently published historical fiction novel about Zelda Fitzgerald. She and Scott Fitzgerald had such a crazy life and love. You almost hate to love them! When looking for the book at the bookstore, I learned that the author of Z (the book) is a local author! I mentioned it to our school librarian and she suggested that we email the author. Her name is Therese Fowler and she is indeed local! She agreed to come to the school and talk to our students! Of course this made reading her book even more fun. I was able to meet a NY Times Bestselling author AND she signed my book! How awesome is that! Such a neat experience. This months book goal will be hard to beat for the rest of the year!

My craft/DIY project this month consisted of my bedroom makeover. Here are the things I did to spruce it up a little...

• Added memory foam topper and new pillows to the bed. It is so comfortable now!
• Added a fake tree with string lights in one corner. Nice for reading at night. 
• Hung the craft project from last month
• Put a framed cork board on the wall to hold ticket stubs, pictures, and cards.

It might not sound like a lot, but these small changes really made my bedroom MINE again. It feels so much more homey now. My favorite thing to do now is to snuggle in bed after Blake goes to sleep and read my book. So relaxing. I am loving this New Year's Resolution I made! It's the end of March and I am still going strong!!! :)
