Where the cool kids are these days...

Hey Peeps!!!
Wanted to share the latest and greatest obsession in the social media world with you all...Most of you already know about them, but for those who are new to the school block here are where the cool kids are hanging out.

Instagram
For iPhone only-Free App



Instagram is similar to Twitter but instead of 140 characters or less, you take a picture. Friends can follow you and like or comment on the pics you take and it is a great way to kind of keep a digital scrapbook of your life. This app is replacing Facebook and Twitter for me more and more. I used it all the time in London and most of the pics you have seen me post on this blog have come from Instagram. Oh by the way, its only available on the iPhone. Sorry Android losers (oops did I say loser, I meant user).

Pinterest



Pinterest is amazing. You can add this link to your Windows or Safari browser that allows you to "pin" things you like or want to different boards. Your friends can follow you and its a great way to share ideas. Whether it be Music, Travel, Food, Design, Movies, Books. You are basically keeping track of things that catch your eye. Its like one massive Christmas List (which is probably why I love I so much). It also takes away from the hassle of "Oh I saw this great Kitchen idea on a blog once, but I can't remember which one." And the other big plus-there's an app for that too.

If you are already on Pinterest or Instagram and would like to follow me. My user name is atheis.

Memorial Day Wrap Up

Every year my Parents come into Charlotte for Memorial Day weekend. You see my Mother and youngest Nephew, Jude share the same Birthday, and this year was extra special cause my Mom turned 60. I took off on Friday so I would have an extra day to spend with them, and we had a great weekend. Jen, Mom and I went to get Mani and Pedis Friday, Dad and I worked in the yard Monday, and we got to have several Birthday celebrations. Here are some pics from the weekend...

Mani and Pedi Time!

Mom brought Fisher's and of course Pippin came along too.

I love my Puppy!

Book It!

Ya'll remember the Book It program when you were in school, right? It was my jam. Being a life long book worm; I always had some free Pizza Hut! I used to read books in the line at school, had teachers take away books I was hiding under my desk, and my parents lecture me about reading at the table. I tend to go through books really quickly. I read the last book in the Harry Potter series in 4 hours. Right after I had finished reading the 6th book. I started at midnight and finally finished at 4am. Yeah, that's how I roll!
I love the feel of a book in my hand, but recently because of a little thing called an iPad I have been downloading a lot of books. Now, reading a real live book is still my preferred method, but the iPad is so easy to travel with that it is coming really close to taking over the top spot.
I received a lot of great book recommendations from the lovely peeps at work for my trip to London. So here is what I have been reading lately. What about you? Any good reads I need to know about?

PS If you read my blog please scroll down and officially become a follower. It would be appreciated!


Hunger Games
Suzanne Collins
It's the new Twilight, but better. No weird Vampire baby storylines to be found I promise.

Behind Palace Walls
Katie Nicholl
The awesome Lindsay Fisher told me I should read this in preparation for the Royal Wedding. Really interesting biography of Prince William and Prince Harry.


A Thousand Gifts
Ann Voskamp
Ann Voskamp has a blog called A Holy Experience. You can check it out here. Its amazing and always has an inspiring or thoughtful message I end up pondering all day. The book is a really good read. Check it!


Water For Elephants
Sara Gruen
Haven't seen the movie yet, but hear it isn't as good as the book (what movie ever is?). Great story about a man who runs away to the circus, and finds more than he expected along the way.
