Jen’s Life:

✮ We attended the funeral of a family member we love with our whole hearts a few weeks ago.  Thankfully we got to spend that time with my sister-in-law and her beautiful family and family that flew out from Chicago and Michigan.  And before and after that we’ve gotten to spend almost every weekend having memorable family dinners and also snowboarding with our friends.  My boys are faster then me, it is mind boggling.  Plus SNOW!  Sooooo much snow.  The ski resort 15 minutes from our house logged 426 inches for the season as of yesterday, eeps!

Our Favorite Books of the Month:

 

Jen’s Choice – House of Pounding Hearts (The Kingdom of Crows #2) by Olivia Wildenstein
A dark and luscious fantasy that was impossible to put down.  These characters completely captured my heart.  And they will make you laugh.  Cry.  And fall in love.  

 

 
 
 

✩✮✩

Arielle’s Choice – Forget Me Not by Julie Soto
Julie has a very specific brand of witty, hilarious banter, main characters that always seem to develop such DELICIOUS but also AGONIZING tension between them, a great supporting cast, and writing that quite honestly has the ability to take your breath away.

    I think Forget Me Not is on my TBR to read too! Glad to hear you liked it. Love all the Instagram photos! I have been slacking a bit on my Instagram personal photos. Been mostly sharing pre-made ones. I need to get back to that. Hope March is going well so far!
