BEING A PREP FOR A WEEK: 7/24/16 -- 7/30/16

Can you believe that we're about to enter the last week of July?  As you may have noticed, school supply shopping is in session and the college application process has already begun for a lucky number of students.  I myself have been working on a lovely Spanish II class for several hours everyday (I don't think I'm ready to go on that trip to Spain yet) as well as re-reading The Great Gatsby.

As Jordan Baker famously says, "Life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall."  I suppose life does a similar one-eighty in the last week of July!

Now, on to some of my favorite links from the past week:
This post highlighted so many of the frustrations that I have with blogging--yet it also proved many of the reasons why I continue to pursue it, and why I love it enough to do so...
Seriously considering using this planner for the new year:  gingham, typography, and quotes?  It's a deal!
So you want to move into this Parisian apartment?  Me too, my friend.
Now that I have a passport, I have a legitimate excuse to buy a holder for it:  I'm thinking a quirky case or a durable one (with a twist)...
If this corgi race doesn't make you smile, I don't know what will...

It's time to crack down on school preparations, and you know what that means we have to do:  "Go as far as you think you can.  Then keep going."

How was your week?

Love,
Tori
