For those of you following our weekly recaps, I'm here to inform you that Holli Anne won't be posting her recap today. Why?<br />
<br />
Well, while we were sleeping she was being super sneaky and having a baby.<br />
(!!!!!!!!)<br />

I am very happy to announce that Holli Anne gave birth to a beautiful, perfect little boy! His name is Gabriel and, as you can see, he's adorable! So here's a big ole CONGRATS to Holli and her hubs on creating Gabe the Babe!<br />

While you were sleeping I was dreaming of florals...<br />
What can I say? They're everywhere so it's hard to not miss them!<br />
So, I threw together the pins that made me happiest then went and created a shopping list of similar, <i>affordable</i> finds!<br />
<br />
(And yes, when I picked the name of this I WAS thinking of Sandra Bullock and Bill Pullman!)<br />
<br />
I sure do hope you enjoy!<br />

I think the funniest thing about florals is how much I used to despise them. I'm not much of a girly girly in the ways of fashion but now I can't help but totally dig the patterns and colors! Whether it's shorts, skirts, dresses, or even shoes I'm on board and wanting more.</div>

I love the softness of the left skirt. So elegant and light. However, when I saw this <a href="http://www.forever21.com/Product/Product.aspx?BR=f21&Category=bottom_skirt&ProductID=2000126907&VariantID=" target="_blank">Garden Girl skirt</a> from Forever 21 I couldn't help but love it more. Bright, colorful, and smack dab adorable!<br />

H&M has always had my heart. There's no two ways about that. A little pricier, this <a href="http://www.hm.com/us/product/23754?article=23754-E" target="_blank">sleeveless floral dress</a> is beautiful, airy, and cut just right for warmer weather.<br />

I love Dr. Martens and any book that slightly resembles them. I know they aren't the most popular but ever since I read <a href="http://www.amazon.com/One-Money-Stephanie-Plum-Novels-ebook/dp/B000FC0SJ6" target="_blank">One for the Money </a>(the main characters wears them a lot) I've craved a pair. Yet...I don't want to pay all of that extra for the difference between these <a href="http://www.dmusastore.com/p-4212-shoreditch.aspx" target="_blank">Victorian flowers</a> and this <a href="http://www.dmusastore.com/p-3211-1460-w.aspx" target="_blank">Print Collection pair</a>. I'd be just as pumped for the $75 pair. They are adorably hardass.</div>

I don't spend $79 for a shirt usually. Maybe that's why my closet isn't as cool as I'd want it to be. Either way, I am over the moon about this <a href="http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/urban/catalog/productdetail.jsp?id=30799373&color=009" target="_blank">Urban Outfitters blouse</a>. I'm already a fan of sheer shirts so with the added floral I just can't even right now. I may just hit publish on this post and go buy it now!<br />

<br />
Well, I'm not proud of skipping a week on these, but sometimes life just happens, huh?<br />
<br />
These last two weeks were full of big-time nesting, enjoying my little family and definitely feeling the love! So. Much. Love.<br />
<br />
Here's what went down:<br />
<br />
Pins I'm pinning: I GOTTA have <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/262968065716140959/" target="_blank">this Sprinkle Cake</a> for my birthday. And this super simple <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/262968065716146739/" target="_blank">wall art</a> is inspiring a little project for my little man.<br />
<br />
Books I'm reading: Finished Harry Potter #3 and have been reading For Whom the Bell Tolls by Ernest Hemingway. (It's for a book club I'm in...I'll be back to Harry Potter this week!)<br />
<br />
Movies I watched: The Lego Movie. It's flawless!<br />
<br />
Things we're doing: Finishing touches on baby nursery. Cleaning everything else because, why not?! (I can't sit still!) Trying to wrap up things for maternity leave.<br />
<br />
Highlights of the week(s): REAL progress on our home! Annual Valentine's Day Date: Waffle House + Lego Movie (it was very fancy). Baby shower from my coworkers. Super sweet visits and surprise baby gifts from friends and family. Just feeling super loved and excited for our little guy to get here and feel the love too!<br />
<br />
Hope you've had a wonderful couple weeks!<br />
<br />
-Holli Anne<br />

That's given me a wonderful excuse to start mass pinning ridiculously cute kiddo pics on Pinterest. Today I kind of splurged on these little trendy humans and had to share some of my favorites!<br />

Enjoy!<br />

<b>So, what went down? </b>Week 6 was all about dealing with my back pain and doing a lot of behind-the-scenes work for the blog, work, and writing! Week 7 was an emotional roller coaster. My estranged grandmother had two massive strokes (that she miraculously survived) just after my mother got out of rehab. Somehow, though, it brought the three of us closer than we've been in years. Also, had an adorable Valentine's Day weekend that was calm, fun, and just right. Boy Tyler got me seasons 1 and 2 of Castle (one of my top five favorite shows), an awesome decoration for the entryway (blog post on THAT later), and a box of chocolates (with mustache decorations) / typewriter card. I gave him a bacon beer koozie and a book about Dancing with Cats from Modcloth. Oh, and Arby's. :)</div>

So this year I'm a tad busy for fun Valentine's Day crafts. If I do anything nifty it will definitely be ON Valentine's Day and probably way simple. But, I'm super into these four Valentine's day goodies.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1. These <a href="http://bakingdom.com/2012/02/valentines-day-cookie-cakes.html" target="_blank">Valentine's Day Cookie Cakes on Bakingdom</a> not only look delicious but are adorable! Plus, they have sprinkles on them and I'm just a sucker for those!</div>
<br />
2. I love, love, love these <a href="http://www.thesweetestoccasion.com/slideshow/10-best-valentines-day-crafts/7/" target="_blank">Cupid Arrows from The Sweetest Occassion. </a> They are such a creative way to give your Valentine a date-night package.<br />
<br />
3. This cheesecake is just amazing! I'm sure I'd never have the patience to make it, but isn't it wonderful?! Featured on <a href="http://www.foodiecrush.com/blog/" target="_blank">The Foodie Crush Blog.</a><br />
<br />
4. And lastly, these Crayon Paper Hearts from Martha Stewart are such a simple, effective decoration to me. They were featured on <a href="http://www.craftley.com/best-diy-valentines-day-decorations/" target="_blank">Craftley Blog. </a><br />

<br />
This week was crazy because it snowed in the south! If you don't live down here (or if you do), you probably saw some silliness on the news about people being stuck in their cars overnight because of our snow, but that didn't happen where I live, so it was just fun! Plus, my husband and I got a couple surprise days off work and used them to work on little man's room. Bonus weekend!<br />
<br />
Here's the run-down of the week:<br />
<br />
Pins I'm pinning: Maybe it's the fact that our house is almost back in order, but my pins seem to be heavily organizing themed. I love <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/262968065716061985/" target="_blank">this</a> to-do list method.<br />
<br />
Books I'm reading: Finished Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone and the Chamber of Secrets. Why am I just now reading this series? Better late than never I guess! I'm hooked!<br />
<br />
Movies I watched: (I don't watch a lot of movies but I figured this could be a fun category since I DID this week). Fargo.<br />
<br />
Things we're doing: Painting walls gray (check). Painting furniture white. Staining desks. Building Websites. Playing in snow!<br />
<br />
Highlights of the week: SNOW (duh!). Lovely date night with my hubby. First visit to Chipotle...yum!<br />
<br />
Things I'm blogging: <a href="http://www.chasingthere.com/2014/02/super-simple-diy-desks.html" target="_blank">Super Simple DIY Desks</a> (our office space is getting done...yay!)<br />
<br />
What's the scoop on your week 5?<br />

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
My husband and I have been on the hunt for the perfect desks for a while now. He is an illustrator and wanted a drafting table BUT our office is in our living room and drafting tables are pretty large. (Except those smaller plasticy ones, but again, this is in our living room). He found a table-top drafting board at Hobby Lobby to solve that issue. So that meant we just needed desks with a large enough surface to hold the drawing board. Plus, I like a really roomy work space to spread out! <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
These were easy to make, only cost us about $90 total (for two of them) and look so spiffy in our office space. Here's how we did it:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Supplies: </div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Slab of pre-cut wood from Lowe's (though, I'm sure you could cut some yourself if that's your thing).</li>
<li>2 <a href="http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/80130776/" target="_blank">Ikea trestle legs</a></li>
<li>1 can pre-stain wood conditioner</li>
<li>1 can wood stain & polyurethane in one</li>
<li>Fine grain sandpaper</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div>
1. Assemble the Trestle legs following the Ikea instructions. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
2. Lightly sand the surface of the wood and wipe dust off with damp cloth. (The wood we bought was about $20 for each slab).</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
3. Apply coat of pre-stain wood conditioner with paint brush or cloth. Let soak for about 15 minutes. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
4. Apply first coat of wood stain and sealer. Let dry for about 6 hours and then apply the second coat. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
5. Put the wood on top of your trestle legs and get to work!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So, maybe this is almost a little TOO easy to qualify for the DIY category, but it's perfect for us. Affordable, adorable and assembled with love!</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
Birthday celebrating, Adobe and hard-core nesting essentially sum up my week 4. Here's the run-down.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Highlight of the week:</b> My sweet husband's birthday, of course! <a href="http://www.kraftrecipes.com/recipes/best-ever-chocolate-fudge-layer-cake-91361.aspx#" target="_blank">Here's</a> the recipe of the cake I made him (only I covered the middle and top with Oreos). </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Things inspiring me</b>: My free trial of Adobe's Creative Cloud programs. Holy moly! They run so smooth on my little laptop. I had to make an annual report for work this week, and the laptop with InDesign had a run-in with coffee, so I had to improvise. It might be a bad thing for my bank account because I'm pretty sure I can't let these programs go easily!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Pins I'm pinning:</b> Food with quinoa, like this <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/262968065716004829/" target="_blank">Superfood Salad</a> from <a href="http://dreamsinhd.blogspot.com/2014/01/recipe-eat-colorfully.html" target="_blank">Dreams in HD</a> and this <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/262968065716008607/" target="_blank">coconut quinoa</a> breakfast from <a href="http://www.abeautifulmess.com/" target="_blank">A Beautiful Mess</a>. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Books I'm reading</b>: Finished<a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/19063183-eye-spy" target="_blank"> Eye Spy by Kevin Hallock</a> (ehh, it was alright) and currently reading (FOR THE FIRST TIME) <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3.Harry_Potter_and_the_Sorcerer_s_Stone?from_search=true" target="_blank">Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone</a>. I can't believe I haven't read this series yet, and neither can anyone else so I'm getting on board!</div>

This coming week, I'll be just five weeks from my due date! Say what?! Time is really flying! <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We have officially disassembled our baby boy's room to cover the walls and a couple pieces of thrift store furniture finds with fresh coats of paint. (The walls are going to be a warm gray with white furniture). Currently, the walls are a dark blue.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Anyway, the next couple of weeks will be super busy for us as we put this little guy's room together, and I won't have very great pictures to show until we're all done. BUT, I thought it'd be fun to show you some of the inspiration behind our project. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
First, we don't really have a concrete theme. We are doing a Montessori-style nursery (you can read more about that <a href="http://mariamontessori.com/mm/?p=921" target="_blank">here</a>). Essentially, we are using a simple mattress on the floor, which I get may sound a tad crazy, but the idea is that the little guy can begin exploring his space whenever he's ready. Also, we'll make sure there are comfy things around his bed so if we does roll off or crawl off, it won't hurt. Toys are low and accessible and it's not dangerous because we are working hard to make sure his space is really safe for him. The beds below are a bit busy for a baby, but they are a good example!</div>

<div>
We also have a big wooden shelf and plan on using a lot of wooden and natural elements for his toys. When he's old enough to really play with toys, we'll rotate them out so he can have a little to play, keep things interesting and not overwhelm him. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<div>
And lastly, we don't really have a color scheme or particular theme in mind. BUT, we want to use a versions of primary colors, mixed in with some green. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We want to give the whole thing a vintage feel, with soft, bright colors and awesome thrift store decorations. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We'll post the final (hopefully) in the next couple weeks! </div>

My go-to morning inspiration usually revolves around coffee (see: <a href="http://www.chasingthere.com/2014/01/inspiration-morning-coffee.html" target="_blank">Morning Coffee</a>) but today I wanted to go a different route.<br />
<br />
After browsing my <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/socialspaz/color-make-me-go-oh/" target="_blank">Color make me go OH! board</a> on Pinterest, I decided I wanted to start the morning off with an overall feeling of brightness with pops of refreshing color. That's when I rediscovered<a href="http://design-seeds.com/index.php/home/entry/slice-of-bright" target="_blank"> this Design Seeds palette</a> I had pinned a while back. It's the perfect visual representation of how I'm feeling!<br />
<br />
So, I wanted to find a picture that would pair with each color block. Still utterly obsessed with Pinterest, I switched to my (favorite) <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/socialspaz/hgtv/" target="_blank">#hgtv board</a> and found five pictures that, in my opinion, pair well with my goal.<br />
<br />
It isn't a coffee post but maybe it will still inspire!<br />

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
We love to decorate our homes. There’s no two ways about it. Indoor decor is a must while outdoor decor is just plain fun. Some could argue that while a person actually lives inside of a house that the furniture and style that fills it is more important. However, don’t you also spend time outside?<br />
<br />
Even though you may spend the majority of your time inside, that doesn’t
mean you shouldn’t dress the outside as well! With a plethora of styles
created to accommodate any patio space it’s important to find a style
that is uniquely you. <br />
<br />
Here are four patio designs and what they say about their owners. <br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUL74_OE2jddrEJ7bcCKDltTo70yejkzhdBBWQKa1C6aR_NmZacJFJP-5dsbLm03d04PK11bfAB0bLczdixT8-qRCxLWCtxqzZ3A_jJQ2yPRQtua0WwjbjLxKe5jd_Bexr8Hfsl1igVi4C/s1600/%25231.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUL74_OE2jddrEJ7bcCKDltTo70yejkzhdBBWQKa1C6aR_NmZacJFJP-5dsbLm03d04PK11bfAB0bLczdixT8-qRCxLWCtxqzZ3A_jJQ2yPRQtua0WwjbjLxKe5jd_Bexr8Hfsl1igVi4C/s1600/%25231.jpg" height="376" width="640" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>The Elegant Host </b><br />
When there’s a dinner party to be had, you’re the person everyone turns
to. With <a href="http://www.cabanacoast.com/collection_details.php?collection_id=98&flag=1" target="_blank">this stainless steel patio furniture elegance</a> from <a href="http://www.cabanacoast.com/" target="_blank">Cabana Coast</a>,
you have turned your outdoor eatery into a modern, contemporary, design
made to show everyone you’re a classy host. With its stainless steel
and matching wicker, this set can look sleek on its own or be dressed up
even more with tabletop accents. If your patio design holds this set,
you can rest easy knowing that your smart, elegant tastes have finally
been realized. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<b>The Modern Grey Entertainer</b><br />
This patio scene from West Elm just screams, “We like to entertain!” Showcasing Tillary outdoor modular seating, this set can be separated then rearranged to meet your liking while maintaining a smooth, modern look. Are you having a pool party and want to be able to lounge alongside the swimmers? Move one of the sofas closer. Do you want an intimate seating area to spend time with loved ones and friends after a long day of work? Move it back with the rest of the arrangement. The pops of color keep the eyes appreciating this set while the designer pillows only attribute to the overall cool feeling. This design shows visitors that you aren’t afraid to entertain and look good while doing it. <br />

The beginning of this week was rough! Not in a bad way...just in a pregnant kind of way. Fatigue hit me in a whole new way and no matter what I did, I could NOT get enough energy.<br />
<br />
As a result, I kind of did a minimal amount of inspirational things (or things in general). Finally by the middle of the week, I managed to get a second wind and accomplish some stuff, like taking down our Christmas decorations. (A snapshot of our first married Christmas is below!)<br />
<br />
Here's the low-down on what's going on in Week 3, 2014:<br />
<br />
<b>Pins I'm pinning:</b> Lots of furniture, nursery and home decor inspiration, especially since I wanted (and need) to be nesting these last few weeks before baby arrives. <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/262968065715961387/" target="_blank">This</a> baby nursery and <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/262968065715967258/" target="_blank">this </a>Ikea bed frame are really striking my fancy.<br />
<br />
<b>Books I'm reading:</b> <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/19063183-eye-spy" target="_blank">Eye Spy</a> by Kevin J. Hallock...I'm trucking through but honestly, it's not really my cup of tea so far. I also started reading through the first draft of the book I wrote last year so I can begin making edits. Finally feeling inspired for that! <a href="http://www.chasingthere.com/2013/08/the-back-of-our-books.html" target="_blank">Here's</a> the "back of the book" synopsis.<br />
<br />
<b>Things I'm doing:</b> Besides heavy napping and putting away Christmas, we've completely emptied our baby nursery for a fresh coat of paint and also bought a couple pieces of new furniture for our house (dining room table + dresser for baby clothes). I'm also enjoying the long weekend with my husband!<br />
<br />
<b>Stuff I'm drooling over:</b> This <a href="http://shakykneesfestival.com/" target="_blank">line-up</a> to the Shaky Knees Festival in Atlanta. Like, how good is this?!<br />

One of my favorite reasons to post on here (and largely why I started Almost There) was to help inspire. Whether you had your dream house/job/life or not I wanted to show people that you could still be happy with DIYs, inspiration boards, and spotlights on creative, awe-inspiring sites, products, and people. Going into our third year, I hope Almost There is still fitting that bill!<br />
<br />
Today, I want to keep the streak alive and INSPIRE you with a wonderful site named <a href="http://www.minted.com/birth-announcements" target="_blank">Minted</a>!<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<h3>
Minted is the world's premier marketplace for independent design. Our mission is to find exceptional artists and designers all over the world and bring their work to consumers who appreciate great design.</h3>
</blockquote>
What does that mean?<br />
It means you have a site filled with a plethora of eclectic and unique designs for all occasions (special or just because) that will delight the eyes and warm the hearts of designers and design lovers alike.<br />
<br />
Now, let me show you three reasons I'm currently in love with Minted.<br />
<b><span style="color: orange;"><a href="http://www.minted.com/birth-announcements" target="_blank"><br /></a></span></b>

Maybe it's because Holli Anne is expecting that has me super excited about Minted's <a href="http://www.minted.com/birth-announcements?all=true&of=no&sku=MIN-AI3-BYA&limit=260" target="_blank">Birth Announcements</a> but I think they are just adorable! With customization options galore, you can make your announcements as personal as if you had designed them from your laptop at home and, as <a href="http://www.minted.com/" target="_blank">Minted</a> does best, the design selection is ample (and precious)!<span style="color: orange;"></span><br />

Each design has a customization option (again, a wonderful <a href="http://www.minted.com/">Minted</a> feature) so making your journal uniquely you while keeping the design integrity intact opens up so many cute possibilities. No matter your tastes, the journal section has pages and pages of different styles whether you're more drawn to photography, illustration, or a combination of the two!<br />

Dear goodness.<br />
Be still my heart. <br />
I can't help but love 85 percent of what's in the art prints section of <a href="http://www.minted.com/" target="_blank">Minted</a>. Again, a lot of eclectic, bright fun pieces! AND you have the option of various sizes and framing! Always a bonus if you ask me!<br />

What makes a kitchen beautiful?<br />
<br />
Is it the granite counter tops? The butcher block island? Custom cabinets finished just right? <br />
<br />
Whatever "it" may be, loving your kitchen is a big must for most home owners. However, it's hard to just move into a house that already has everything you wanted inside. You can always upgrade, sure, but that can become costly quick and not everyone has the freedom to customize the "heart of the home" so easily.<br />
<br />
So, what can you do to personalize your cooking space while also adding value to your house and home?<br />
<br />
Easy.<br />
<br />
Backsplashes! <br />
<br />

Whether you tile up the entire wall or just the places over the sink or oven, a new backsplash can glam up the room, instantly personalizing your kitchen. Depending on the space you want to upgrade, the cost can be under $100, easy.<br />
<br />
Why am I talking backplashes? Well, we may have just installed our own! (We did and it's beautiful! Post coming this week!)<br />
<br />
Now, until I get down and dirty with the specifics enjoy some pretty pictures and do yourself a favor and Pinterest "kitchen backsplashes!"<br />

This week was all about family and babies (well, singular baby...the one growing inside me!) My parents came to visit, we made some major progress on getting our house in order and we got to see the baby again in ultrasound form!<br />
<br />
I'm 32 weeks pregnant, and I'm not super into pregnant pictures of myself, but I thought this one would be a good round up of the week. (You can see that big belly down there!)<br />
<br />
<b>Here's the low-down on 2014, Week 2:</b><br />
<br />
<b>Pins I'm pinning:</b> Looking back, most of them are food related (go figure). These <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/262968065715917056/" target="_blank">banana rolls</a> and <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/262968065715899047/" target="_blank">overnight oatmeal</a> in particular have my interest peaked.<br />
<br />
<b>Book I'm reading:</b> <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13158800-the-light-between-oceans" target="_blank">The Light Between Oceans </a>by M.L. Stedman...just finished last night. It's beautiful. And a lot of things. SO MANY FEELS.<br />
<br />
<b>Things I'm doing:</b> Majorly working on our house. We organized ALL our art and office supplies, which was a major feat. We also got new table legs from Ikea in the mail this week, so our office project is almost complete. Post coming soon!<br />
<br />
<b>Noteworthy things:</b> An 11-degree low in south Georgia and a new neighborhood coffee shop that sells Fairtrade Coffee (that happens to be delicious!)<br />
<br />
<b>My blogs from this week:</b> <a href="http://www.chasingthere.com/2014/01/recipe-chocolate-banana-coffee.html" target="_blank">Chocolate Banana Coffee Cupcakes</a>. Yep, make these!<br />
<br />
<b>Best moment of the week:</b> Seeing our baby on ultrasound form. The best part was that we didn't really get a good look at his face because he's all turned in the right position for birth. BUT, we did find out he has hair! Yay!<br />
<br />
How was your second week of this year?<br />

<br />
<br />
OK...so I know it's the new year and all that and many people are probably doing that diet thing. But hey, we can all use a little chocolate in moderation, right?<br />
<br />
These particular cupcakes happen to combine a few of my favorite things: chocolate + bananas + coffee +powdered sugar + honey almond cream cheese + more chocolate. Holy mess. These are beautiful.<br />
<br />
I got most of this recipe from <a href="http://www.joyofbaking.com/cupcakes/BananaChocolateCupcakes.html" target="_blank">The Joy of Baking</a>, but I did make some additions (coconut oil, instant coffee, and the frosting). Here's the version I did.<br />
<br />
<b>Chocolate Banana Coffee Cupcakes</b><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><b>Ingredients</b></li>
<li>1 cup sugar</li>
<li>1 cup flour</li>
<li>1/3 cup cocoa powder (unsweetened)</li>
<li>3/4 tsp. baking powder</li>
<li>3/4 tsp. baking soda</li>
<li>1/4 tsp. sea salt</li>
<li>1 egg</li>
<li>1 banana mashed</li>
<li>3/4 tbsp. instant coffee</li>
<li>1/2 cup warm water</li>
<li>1/4 cup milk</li>
<li>1/4 coconut oil</li>
<li>3/4 tsp. vanilla extract</li>
</ul>
<div>
1. Preheat oven to 350. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
2. Mix all dry ingredients in bowl, followed by wet ingredients. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
3. Pour batter into a muffin pan lined with 12 cupcake liners. Fill about 2/3 full. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
4. Bake for about 20 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><b>Ingredients</b></li>
<li>1 1/4 cup powdered sugar</li>
<li>1/2 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)</li>
<li>1 tsp. vanilla extract</li>
<li>1/4 cup cocoa powder</li>
<li>1 1/2 tbsp. honey almond cream cheese</li>
</ul>
<div>
1. Mix all these ingredients together (preferably with a mixer but mine broke tonight so it worked without!)</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
2. Once cupcakes are cooled, ice with yummy frosting mix and eat! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Hope you enjoy! And if you are dieting, it's fine if you just pin them for a reward when you aren't! </div>

<br />
Confession: I read a lot and I'm kind of a snob about it.<br />
<br />
But, man, I just love books. I used to throw down with two books a week but lately I've been writing so I've reduced that to finishing one book a week. (I'm actually working on a post about how to find your future favorite books!)<br />
<br />
Why am I telling you this?<br />
<br />
Because only my favorites make the Monday Suggestion posts! I pick books that (in my opinon) are baller and that stand a good chance of you thinking so too!<br />
<br />
So, without anymore babbling, here's this week's Monday Suggestions!<br />

After falling through Amazon trying to find the next book to hook me, I saw Clean Sweep and said "meh." I'm not the biggest fan of book covers with women obviously being supernatural in some way on them. I don't know why. However, I try to embrace the old adage of not judging a book by its cover so I read the sample.<br />
Bought. <br />
Hooked.<br />
Loved.<br />
<br />
Now, what makes Clean Sweep so darn amazing? Let me briefly break it down for you.<br />
<br />
1. The world, the supernatural "rules," the explanation of things in this book are so different from anything I've ever read (a HUGE feat, I'll tell you) and it's all in a good way. I will NOT ruin anything for you, but just take it from me that this will take your vision of modern day werewolves, vampires, and OTHER THINGS to a whole different, wonderful direction.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2. Dina. This book is first person so you
get to listen to her thoughts and they are just entertaining. She's also
strong but, really, what does that mean? It means she's not a damsel in
distress. Sure, she ends up teaming up with a few other people, but
she's by no means weak. What I paralytically love is that, unlike a lot
of books I read, Dina knows it too. </div>
<br />
3. The book is written beautifully. The plot, the meat (what I mentioned in #1), and everything in between is explained in such a fantastic way that I didn't for once reject any of it. The pacing of explanations just work.<br />
<br />
4. THE IMAGERY IS AMAZING! There are two scenes in particular that were painted so damn brilliantly that I felt like I was watching a movie! My goodness, I can't even.<br />
<br />
There are actually a few more reasons that I love Clean Sweep and you should too, but then I'd border on spoilers so I'll save it for a book review post! Just trust me and get this book!<br />
<br />
Synopsis from Amazon:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
On the outside, Dina Demille is the epitome of normal. She runs a quaint
Victorian Bed and Breakfast in a small Texas town, owns a Shih Tzu
named Beast, and is a perfect neighbor, whose biggest problem should be
what to serve her guests for breakfast. But Dina is...different: Her
broom is a deadly weapon; her Inn is magic and thinks for itself. Meant
to be a lodging for otherworldly visitors, the only permanent guest is a
retired Galactic aristocrat who can’t leave the grounds because she’s
responsible for the deaths of millions and someone might shoot her on
sight. Under the circumstances, "normal" is a bit of a stretch for Dina.
<br />
<br />
And now, something with wicked claws and deepwater teeth has begun
to hunt at night....Feeling responsible for her neighbors, Dina decides
to get involved. Before long, she has to juggle dealing with the
annoyingly attractive, ex-military, new neighbor, Sean Evans—an
alpha-strain werewolf—and the equally arresting cosmic vampire soldier,
Arland, while trying to keep her inn and its guests safe. But the enemy
she’s facing is unlike anything she’s ever encountered before. It’s
smart, vicious, and lethal, and putting herself between this creature
and her neighbors might just cost her everything.

Occasionally, I like to browse Charlaine Harris' <a href="http://charlaineharris.com/" target="_blank">website</a>. Why? Well because I'm a huge Harris fan, and not just a True Blood groupie. I'm talking every book she's written groupie. After watching season one of True Blood, I read the first book and realized it was so different and SO MUCH BETTER than the show (book snob, remember?). Then, within the span of 11 days I read the 11 Sookie Stackhouse books that were out. I loved them (and her writing style) so much that I went to the bookstore and bought <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Shakespeares-Landlord-Lily-Bard-Mysteries/dp/0425206866" target="_blank">Shakespeare's Landlord</a>, A Lily Bard book. Loved it. Read the entire series. THEN I picked up <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Real-Murders-Aurora-Teagarden-Mystery-ebook/dp/B000W917LU/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1389015801&sr=1-1&keywords=real+murders+charlaine+harris" target="_blank">Real Murders</a> and, well, you get the picture. That book and its series became an all time favorite and Aurora Teagarden (the main character) even made <a href="http://www.chasingthere.com/2013/06/reader-talk-tylers-top-5-protagonists.html#uds-search-results" target="_blank">my Top 5 favorite protagonists' list</a>! I also picked up the Harper Connelly books because, man, I was on a roll!</div>

SO, when I saw that Ms. Harris was coming out with a NEW SERIES, I about died in excitement. </div>

Midnight Crossroad (A Novel of Midnight, Texas) will be released on May 6, 2014 and it set to be the first in a trilogy. I mean, I can't even control myself with this one! Just the synopsis has me beyond pumped! YOU BET I PRE-ORDERED IT!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here it is: </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Welcome to Midnight, Texas, a town with many boarded-up windows and few
full-time inhabitants, located at the crossing of Witch Light Road and
Davy Road. It’s a pretty standard dried-up western town.</div>
<br />
There’s
a pawnshop (someone lives in the basement and is seen only at night).
There’s a diner (people who are just passing through tend not to
linger). And there’s new resident Manfred Bernardo, who thinks he’s
found the perfect place to work in private (and who has secrets of his
own).<br />
<br />
Stop at the one traffic light in town, and everything looks normal. Stay awhile, and learn the truth...</blockquote>
