Thankful Thursday & Sweet Tea Paperie!

Thank you all for the sweet comments

on my Part 1 of A Very Blogger Vacay yesterday!

*If you missed it: read here.

Make sure you visit Steph's blog today to read

her recap of our trip!
{YA'LL..it is so sweet. Seriously. I may have cried.
PS-I'm only saying ya'll for you, Steph.}

This morning I had some random things on my mind.
So, why not share them?!

#1. I posted to my Twitter this quote:

 "Start each morning for being thankful for what you have."

Speaks volumes to me.

Whenever I get sad or feel down, I'm going to remind myself how

lucky I am to have the life that I do & find joy in it.

*On that note: I'm thankful for my husband, my girlfriends who give me such joy when we hang out, and my pup who gives me so much love everyday.

....I really enjoyed reading everyone's responses, too!

Thank you for sharing with me.

#2. It seems like I've becoming quite a fan of Instagram.

My thought are this...

Instagram > Twitter > Facebook.

{I posted this to instagram yesterday. Pics are from our trip to FL that you will see soon :)}

*I've been on the Twitter (@katiewkrysh) bandwagon for a while now and I still love it, but Instagram and I are developing quite a serious relationship.

If you are on Instagram, follow me here: whalenkat

I want to follow you back!

#3. Tonight I'm having girls night and we're going to dinner and then going to see

The Vow.

Channing Tatum

&

Rachel McAdams together?!

This is a no brainer!

Sigh.

But this is a double ended sword I feel like. You see, I'm so excited to spend time with my girlfriends, but I WILL be packing tissues in my purse because I may will sob like a baby who got their favorite toy taken away. I'm an emotional wreck in movies like this.

...which is why I love them so much, obviously. ;)

#4. Sweet Tea Paperie

ladies, ladies, ladies...

Attention:

Have you heard of this shop?!

I did a giveaway for a monogrammed acrylic tray last year

and have been obsessed with all of their products ever since.

I could literally go broke

because I want all of their products.

Please look:

Aren't they so cute?

Who doesn't love monogrammed things?!

Not only that, Amanda (the owner), is an absolute sweetie

and a pleasure to work with!

I'm in desperate need of a new iPhone case

so I will be ordering stat.

and using this coupon...

*You can get 15% off an iPhone case

with the code: BOATMANGELLER

to get yourself some cute things.  

thank me later.

:)

#5. It is extremely hard to break away from the

"vacation mindset"

I still feel like eating out for every lunch and dinner

and running miles upon miles is in the back of my mind.

Hopefully this weekend I can get re-focused!

Anyone else ever want a vacation

from a vacation?!

*Part 2 of my Naples, FL

recap coming soon!
