    Isn’t The Book Thief brilliant?! I absolutely loved the book (hence, I finished it in 2 days) and adored the movie. Wasn’t Rudy adorable and perfect?! Also, come be my running buddy and keep me distracted from this brutal heat! It’s already 99 degrees. I started my 9 miler on Sunday @ 4:40 am, just to try to beat some of the crazy temps. Waaaaah.

    Congrats on your miles lady! <3

    Your brunches always look magical. <3 I had to get up early and stuff oatmeal in my face before heading off to church, lol! Do you have a recipe for that bread/cake with the blueberries in it?!

    Oh, and it's totally normal to get excited over food. Food is amazing.

    Love ya!
