Month In Review - April Edition

~ April Edition

What happened on the blog?


What went down behind the blog?

  • I turned 27 on April 5th! I got to celebrate Easter and my birthday with my parents, husband, and little brother. One of my favorite gifts that I received had to be this bookish mug that my husband gave me.
My New Bookish Mug
  • My husband turned 30 on April 17th so I gave him 30 gifts! I had a lot of fun with this. I numbered each gift and then he randomly selected a number and that was the order in which he opened all of his gifts. I got him serious gifts, fun gifts, and yummy gifts.
My husband's 30 presents!
  • I was actually in a wedding in Florida the weekend of the 17th so my husband and I took a mini vacation. The wedding was beautiful, my matron of honor speech was a hit, and we had a lot of fun hanging out with friends. I also got to pet a penguin!!! (Picture to come.) My husband and I also went to Clearwater Beach the day after the wedding with two of our close friends. It was beautiful and a lot of fun. 
Mandatory reading on the beach photo. If I am being honest... it is kind of too sandy to read on the beach when it is windy.

My favorite read of the month


My new obsession

My Baby Groot Magnetic Bookmark


Some books on my May TBR pile

  1. Awwww!!! I missed your birthday! Happy belated Birthday! It's so cute that you were born on the same month as your husband. What a great gift idea. And you were in Florida! You weren't near me though. I'm more down south. Sounds like the wedding went off wonderfully. I'm happy that your book and personal life were wonderful this past month.

    I want that baby Groot magnet for myself! I'm going to have to go on a hunt for it :D

    P.S. Can't wait for you to read Miss Mayhem and Red Rising.

  2. Happy birthday! That is a cute idea for your husband's birthday. I would try it except getting 56 presents is a bit intimidating. : )

  5. Happy Belated Birthday :) I love the idea for the birthday gifts for your husband! This year for Christmas I knew my husband was buying me one big gift so to spread his out I did 25 days of Christmas with some serious gifts and some just fun candies etc! We really enjoyed it. Love the new bookish mug!

    1. I didn't really announce my birthday since I was busy around that time and it was on Easter this year so I would say that you are not a bad bestie. :D

      The Groot bookmark is so freaking cute! I have been showing him and my new mug off at work.
