Grapevine, TX {Have you been there?!}

via

In a few months, I'll be headed to Grapevine, Texas for a work conference.  Of course, the first thing I did when I heard I had to go was Google the city.  So I know they have a large, nice mall and a few wineries.  And I'm hoping to find a real ranch to ride horses at.  I'm thrilled about all of that, but whenever I travel, I always like to ask you guys for the real 'must do's' of the city.

So, I'll be in Grapevine, Texas, in January, with no car.  What do I need to do/see?  Best restaurants?  Local businesses that are to die for?  Also, I'll {hopefully} be traveling with my mom, so anything girly is very welcomed! :)  

Our hotel is set, so recommendations won't be necessary.  Also, feel free to email me with any suggestions/recommendations. Thanks!!

Every Reader Must Know...

2 awesome things that I [well other's] found [& told me about!]  :)

No...this is not a sponsored post!

1.  GoodReads

www.goodreads.com is a great website to keep track of the books you've read, show others what you're currently reading, and keep a list of the books you want to read.  I'm sure this is not a new website, but I just joined [it's free].  Once you add friends it's great to see what they recommend.  You can do all kinds of stuff on this website. 

Thank you Mrs. Mfc for telling me about this! :)

2.  What Should I Read Next?

Unsure what to read next?  Visit http://www.whatshouldireadnext.com/ is a great website to help you find your next book.  You just plug in a book you like or author and it will populate a list of books you may want to read next.  I tested it a couple of times and it's pretty fun.  So next time you're unsure what to pick up, I suggest looking at that website. 

Thank you Erika for posting about this! :)

 

What Does Your TV Sit On?

At last…the Super Bowl is over!  I’m sure if the Vikings had played better this year I wouldn’t be quite as excited to have the Super Bowl behind us, but obviously we don’t have to worry about that!  :) I’m sure most people were concerned with watching the commercials, or perhaps even the football game!, but I got to thinking about TVs and LCD TV Stands.  Our friends have a beautiful, custom [handmade by her husband I believe!] wall that their TV sits on.  Our living room TV is setting above our fireplace, our office TV is on a little stand, as is our bedroom TV [much to my dismay…I’ve been wanting to mount it for a long time]. 

So, with all this TV stand talk…How is your TV displayed?

TV Wall?

 

Mounted?

 

Or perhaps even on a stand?
