Happy Friday everyone! It has been a while since I wrote my last post. Things have been crazy around here and I’ve been pretty sick, so I haven’t felt much like blogging. I have been thinking and praying a lot about this blog. To be honest, it has overwhelmed me how fast it has grown. Trying to keep up with it and post daily while working has not been the easiest. I know a lot of you do it and it gives me more respect for those that do!

Don’t worry, I’m not getting rid of my blog, I am just making a few changes. I will no longer be accepting sponsors because I do not feel that I have been able to give them the full attention that they deserve and I am very sorry for that. I will however still be open to swapping with anyone who is interested. I will not host giveaways monthly as I have been. I may do an occasional one here and there.

I will also not be posting as often. No worries, Monday Mingling is not going anywhere, but I will probably only post once or twice a week other than that.

I still love reading all of your blogs and I love blogging. It just got to where I was trying to post so often that I began to feel overwhelmed and it started going in a direction I didn’t want it to. I started this blog to talk about life and books and that is what I plan to get back to. Thank you for reading my small corner of the internet and I hope you will continue.

Hey lovies! I have a special treat for you today! Jackie is taking over my blog and will be sharing some spring decor with us! Please stop by and visit her! Welcome, Jackie!


********************************************************************


Hi everyone – I’m Jackie and I am so excited to be guest posting on Logan’s blog! I blog over at Jackie Jade – where I talk about decorating and updating our 1940s home. I also blog about what is inspiring me in home decor and in fashion. We are also slowly starting to plan out our wedding and I post tons of photos of my pugs too!

I don’t think I am alone in my dreams of spring. I live in western Pennsylvania and it seems like winter is lasting forever. I can’t wait to wear t-shirts and sandals. For my home, I can’t wait to bring some spring in as well.


One of the easiest ways to update your home decor is to change up your pillows. It’s a great way to change the whole look of the room and there are some great affordable options out there too.


Here are some of my favorite spring pillows out there right now.

What’s your favorite place to buy fun new pillows? I hope you’ll come check out my blog – Jackie Jade and say hello! Thanks to Logan for hosting me!

I am taking a short blogging break this week to go on a spontaneous trip with the husband! No worries, I am leaving you with an awesome giveaway! I’ll be back later this week. 🙂

This month, I am sponsoring an awesome Alabama blogger named Ashley from Wannabe Green. She is hosting this great giveaway! Who doesn’t want a free Birchbox? Enter below using the rafflecopter!

Hello loves! This past weekend, Ryan and I traveled to Huntsville (north Alabama) for our good friend’s wedding. Ryan was a groomsman and looked pretty smokin’ hot if I do say so myself.

It was such a wonderful day getting to watch two friends say their vows in front of loved ones. It was very emotional and one of the sweetest weddings I’ve ever been to. We were able to spend time with friends we have not seen in a while which was nice.

Just before the wedding began, I received a phone call from my cousin (who is more like a sister) with some pretty exciting news! Zana is engaged!!! Her and Landon have been together for nearly 5 years, so it is about time he put a ring on it! I am so proud and absolutely thrilled for them!

On Sunday, I attended my best friend’s baby shower. She is due in less than 4 weeks now! I can’t wait to meet that sweet baby!
