Home Items Purchased:
Guess I was so busy in February I completely forgot to pick anything up for the house! #whoops

Where I Went:
NYC for NYFW – I have been sharing tons of content from NYFW so I am sure you are over hearing about it haha. If you happened to miss anything, you can find all NYFW posts here.

Charlottesville, VA – Last weekend I headed to this sweet college town for a girls getaway! We had the best time exploring the town and visiting several vineyards {especially the wine tasting part}. Stay tuned as I’ll share a travel diary + guide on Monday. 

Movies Watched: 
Only The Brave: So you may know, I have a crush on Miles Teller, which was my number one reason for wanting to watch this movie. After watching, I was even more blown away by the actor. I also gained an even larger respect for the men {and women} that fight fires to protect land, neighborhoods, and their neighbors. It’s an amazing movie that I highly recommend. 

Recipes Tried:
Creamy Herb Chicken – Honestly, I was super impressed with myself after trying this recipe. Our dinner looked like we had just been served at a snazzy restaurant. The best part, the recipe is incredibly easy! 
Frozen Hot Chocolate – One of my favorite desserts ever!

Reading:
I am still reading 5 Minutes with Jesus: Peace for Today and again, still absolutely loving it! After joining a life group/bible study, I started Craving Connection: 30 Challenges for Real-Life Engagement. It is AMAZING! A great book for women of all ages to read. 

TV Shows Watched/Watching:
We are still watching This is Us and Lethal Weapon. We just caught up on Nashville and for the first time in a LONG time I am really into it. Of course, they are now on hiatus until June ughhh! Grey’s Anatomy and Scandal are also on hiatus, so waiting for those to return. Joshua and I also started watching the Waco series. Wow! My mind is blown basically every minute of the show. Looking forward to watching the last three episodes. 

Take a look back at my recaps from JanuaryDecemberNovemberOctoberSeptemberAugustJulyJune, May, and April
