On the List

Well I’m officially on my mini-break! We’re probably on our drive up to the mountains as you’re reading this and hopefully the weather will behave itself. While we’ve been to the Biltmore Estate many times since we moved here from California, this time we’re going for the gardens specifically. I can’t wait to see to massive glass sculptures up close and I’ll take lots of pictures to share with you all next week!

Until then, I hope you find some inspiration from some of my favorite posts on the blogosphere this week!
