{mlm} jan. 7, 2013.

i like to use monday as a way to reflect on the previous week, to start anew, and to send a little love into the world.  won't you join me?    

today i am grateful for:

it's been over 2 weeks since my last much love monday ("mlm"); life just keeps moving, doesn't it?  i had a crazy last work week and was so grateful for a quiet weekend filled with projects and organization and DOWNTON SEASON 3 (!).  and tonight: my Notre Dame boys play for the national championship.  eeeeek.  

Here Come the Irish.

pictures worth a thousand words:

 {see you next thanksgiving :(}

 {yes, we are harry potter fans}

{a casualty of the car trip home, but i couldn't just throw it out!}

 {so ready for the big game tonight!!!}

{prettied up the inside of my closet}

{i can leave snowflakes up through winter, can't i?!}

this week's blog love:

• i really responded to av's post on getting real on long distance loving.  still thinking about it actually.
• similarly, ashley nicole catherine has some very good thoughts on balance for 2013.
• an essential post from the beauty department: how to remove gel nails.
• bloggers: more great tips for blogging 2.0 from stripes & sequins.

here's to another grateful and love-filled week.
