How to Hide a Vertical Image within a Blog Post - Love the Here and Now
Even though it's a DIY for Wordpress, the coding translates to something that works with Blogger too. With the only exception being making that hidden image the default image for the post (whomp whomp). So worth Pinning!

YES. YES. YES. Christine hits the nail on the head with this post.

{Grateful Heart} List 25

Today I am grateful for my life, but more so for the things that make me want to wake up each day and be a better person than I was the day before. This list prompt from my List Yourself Challenge was perfect for today's Grateful Heart post.

25. List the real reasons you are inspired to stay alive.

My husband. He's a huge part of why I keep going every day. I have no idea how I made it before meeting him, and I have no desire to find out what life would be like without him now. (Lord knows what he'd do without me!)

My Family. I love them so much and knowing that they will always be there for me is such a great comfort. Plus, they have to love me. Haha!

My furkids. They are like real kids for me and Hubs. They are as much apart of our family as a tiny human would be.

Pumpkin // Bear // Misty

My Friends. They are the family you get to choose for yourself.

Chocolate. Hi, My name is Amanda and I'm a Chocoholic.

Music. It makes you feel. It makes you dance. It makes you grow.

Writing. It's such a wonderful expression. I always feel lighter when I complete a post, finish a paper, or sign a Thank You note.

What makes you get out of bed each morning? What are you grateful for each day?

Songs On my "Current" Playlist

Dude. Yesterday's post got a little serious didn't it? I mean, wow. So lets have some fun today, okay?

I present to you the ~~songs I can't get out of my head~~ my favorite songs of the moment:

1. I Choose You - Sara Bareilles
Tears come to my eyes every time I listen to it. Every. Single. Time. And the video is pretty amazing.

2. Burn - Elle Goulding
I just love it. I don't really know why.

3. All About That Bass - Meghan Trainor
Just pure awesomeness. Such a great message for women to be proud of their body.

4. Titanium - David Guetta ft. Sia
Ok. Ok. Ok. I know this song is old, but I still freaking love it.

5. Something Bad - Miranda Lambert and Carried Underwood
These ladies... need I say more?

I am always looking for new music, so any suggestions are encouraged and very welcome!
What are you favorite songs right now?
