Good morning! One day closer to the weekend, I could not be more happy about that. I am so looking forward to reading my new book and trying dinner from a Vietnamese restaurant that has just opened near us, as well as watching a few good movies. Other than that doing nothing, or at least doing as little as possible.

I found some great recipes, blogs and a little “eye candy” this week. I hope that you find something that is new to you or a reminder of how much you enjoyed it the first time!

Living large in this super small apartment in France which was featured by . What do you think, could you live in 344 square feet? Hmm…I could if it was in Paris and I spent at least one weekend a month there. After all I would be seeing the sights, eating eclairs and sipping chocolate so this petite place would be for sleeping and reading.

"Charlotte 's Web", in my opinion is one of the greatest books for teaching about character. It is an amazing lesson from beginning to end. I will be checking out the remainder of the list. I hope you have a delightful and restful weekend. Bonnie
Charlotte's Web…the first book that made me cry.
When I found out I was expecting our first child, the very first "must have" that went into the nursery was a copy of Charlotte's Web.
Once again you gathered a beauty and inspiration!
