These are a few of my favorite things.
Written by Annie on June 4th, 2010I just have to make a list.
You know how I feel about lists.
– I just finished reading the third book in Mary DeMuth’s Defiance Texas Triology. It’s called Life in Defiance and I am telling y’all, this has been one of the most enjoyable series I have read in a while. I highly HIGHLY recommend it.
– I’m rather fiction spoiled right now. I also just read Hurricanes in Paradise by my friend Denise Hildreth. I’ve always loved her stuff, and this new book did not disappoint. I laughed, I teared up, I wanted to go to the beach. Amen.
– I’m writing today over at (in)courage about this picture. Check it out, yo.
And yes, I did take this picture at Frothy Monkey. Of course. Because I love Frothy. In fact, I’m headed there in approximately 9 minutes. Then I’m going to the YMCA. Even though I walked out of a sculpt class yesterday- the teacher was mean, so I peaced out.
Tangent complete.
– Donald Miller directed me to this blog a few months and now I’m addicted. Kelle Hampton takes beautiful pictures; her art is her photos and her words. You need to read the post about her daughter Nella Cordelia. That will be enough to make you want more.
– The other blog I’m a newish fan of is Natalie Lloyd. I’ve known Natalie for a long time via Susie Magazine, but I just recently began reading her blog and there is a real chance that we share some parts of our brains. I don’t know the science behind it, I just know that sometime we think the same things. So if you like me a little bit, I bet you’ll like her more.
And for today, I think that is enough.
Happy Friday.
Booyah.

I have been addicted to Kelle Hampton’s blog too! I love the picture of her children and little Nella-well it goes without saying that I could just eat her up with a spoon. I could stare at her all day!

Read your (In)Courage post and loved it.
I’m on the waiting list at the local library for Denise’s book. Even though I put my name on the list before it came out since I live in her hometown her book is in demand. I think I’m at number 4 right now.
Love Kelle’s blog. Kristen at We Are THAT Family linked to it right after Nella’s birth. I was hooked. Her photography alone is enough to pull me in.
Going to Natalie’s blog now ’cause if she’s anything like you I’m gonna love her.
You’ve got me listing, too.
Have a great weekend!

You are way too sweet! You forgot to mention I blog-stalked you and your awesome ways for-ev-er before I actually said hi
Thanks for the shout out. I’d never heard of Kellie’s blog but I can already see addiction in my future.

I can’t bear the small type on that blog you recommended. Yours is SO much better (readable). Glad I found you!

I was referring to Natalie Lloyd’s blog…not Kellie’s.
