Week in Review: 09.07.2013

This week included a lot of celebrations: Labor Day with my dad and sister, who I hadn't seen in months; my nine-year anniversary with my fiance; finally accepting a job offer in my new city; and my half-birthday! I have to say, it was a pretty good week. Here are a few glimpses:

>> Seema from lovee, seems recommended four fabulous fall books in her guest post for me yesterday.

>> I find language so fascinating. If you're like me, you'll love this list of 11 foreign words that cannot be directly translated to English. Bonus: They're illustrated! (discovery credit: Cup of Jo)

>> You know how sometimes you're looking at Pinterest and you just want to find a money tree and rip down everything in your house and start over? Sarah captured those feelings exactly with this hilarious post (complete with funny photos!).

>> Are you a procrastinator (like me)? Try this two-minute productivity rule from Jess of Stamp in My Passport.

How was your week? Hope you all have a fabulous weekend!
