Some fun finds!

I don't go shopping very often, but today we went and had a great time.  We stopped in to a consignment shop with some friends and I wanted to take the entire store home, but we ended up with just two things. 

Hannah found some twig colored pencils just like these

10 Colored Twig Pencils 10 Colors 8 inch Twig-uums Whimsical

And they were only 5 bucks!  Score!

And these beauties were hanging out in a little silver dish, but I like them on my table better

I just wish there were more of them!  And for 6 dollars, I just couldn't say no.

And then I had a coupon for JCPenney, 10 off of minimum ten dollar purchase.  Hannah found a new dress.

She had to pick it out herself.  I showed it to her when we first got there, but she would not even look at it.  Luckily, she found it for herself and liked it.

And I got a new pair of earrings

Hannah helped me pick them out.  She liked that they were long.  I like that they move a lot.

For both of those we spent a grand total of 1.12! 

We bought some other things, but they are for Hannah's upcoming birthday party and the only thing remarkable about those was that they came out to an even dollar amount. 
What kind of shopping finds have you had lately?

Tasty Tuesday: Roasted Broccoli

I ran across this recipe on Pinterest the other day that was labeled " The Best Broccoli Of Your Life. " I normally either steam our broccoli in the microwave or saute it with olive oil and red pepper flakes on the stove top. I decided this would be something to try. I did the salt, pepper and olive oil part of the recipe. I didn't have the majority of the other ingredients. In fact, all I had was a little bit of Parmesan  It was wonderful. Not the best broccoli of my life, but honestly, it was pretty close. And if I had the lemon juice and all that jazz, it may very well be the best. What have you been eating lately?

Together is a Beautiful Place by Bailey T. Hurley

  Have you ever wanted to be a better friend or been stumped by how to make your friendships more meaningful? If so, you might want to pick up a copy of Together is a Beautiful Place. Hurley does an excellent job of sharing ways to connect with people that you know and how to easily take your relationships from surface level to deep and meaningful parts of your life. One of my favorite parts of the book is when Hurley incorporates surveys and other data to give insight into relationship building. She shares that it takes 90 hours of social interaction to consider someone a friend. When you’re only seeing each other in passing, it will take much longer than when you carve out time to specifically be with people.  Overall, Together is a Beautiful Place is an encouraging and helpful read. Exactly what I needed as I continue to make friends in life.  I received a copy of this book through NetGalley for the purpose of review. I’m never required to say nice things about books but I’m always
