{happy hour: kate from stripes and polka dots}

Time for one of my favorite posts of the week! I am really excited for today’s blogger too. I found Kate’s blog, Stripes and Polka Dots, a few months ago, and to say that I’m obsessed is an understatement. This girl is absolutely adorable, and I love reading about her pretty blog designs or life back in Virginia.

Margarita

{via}

There's nothing better than some chips and dip and a margarita for happy hour.  Margaritas taste like summer to me, and I can't wait for warmer weather!

Blog

My blog is about anything and everything.  It's my catch-all for whatever is on my mind or going on in my life.  Lately I would say the most common recurring topic on my blog is food.  I love finding new recipes!  Also, pictures of flowers.  I have a million on my computer because I just can't help myself.

Job

Rich web designer?  I love what I do, and working from home is awesome.  I love making the internet prettier one blog at a time.  In my dream world I would get paid more and work less, which hopefully I'll be able to do as my business grows.

$1,000

First I would buy an iPhone.  Seriously, I am chomping at the bit over here.  My current phone is ancient and I want (need?) a smartphone.  After that I would buy a 35mm lens and go on a little mini shopping spree to spruce up my wardrobe for spring.

In the world

I'm thinking a beach on the Mediterranean sound really good!  I'm dying to go to Europe, but I also really want to lay on the beach with a good book.

Blogs

I read and love so many blogs (about so many different things!) but the ones I always click on as soon as they pop up in my reader are A Cup of Jo, Makeunder My Life, Breanna Rose, and Iowa Girl Eats.

Thanks
