Since we’re in the spirit of being thankful this month, what perfect way to also express our gratitude other than with gratitude journaling?

Thankful Challenge Day 1 | 2016

Three years ago, I tried a very unsuccessful attempt at the Thankful Challenge here on the blog. The intention was to post something I was thankful for daily, and sadly I only got three days in when the crickets started singing.

Happy Halloween | 2016

Pin There’s always a bittersweet feeling when Halloween rolls around. As the night grows older and the doorbell stops ringing, it feels as if a new page is about the be turned. One that nears the end of Autumn. That might sound strange to say considering we have a month left of the season, but […]

Trunk-or-Treat Event | Stepping Out As A Blogger

This past week, I’d say the blog hit a few minor milestones. For the first time ever, I got to outwardly promote the blog…in front of people. And I got cute little business cards to help promote it!

Pin-spiration | Halloween

When Halloween comes along I always miss the days when I mulled over costume decisions with my siblings, seeing myself transform as I turned into a new character, and the smell of burning pumpkins glowing by tea lights in the dark as I trick-or-treated.

How To Make Candy Apples

I wont say exactly how often I go into Michael’s craft store (a whole lot and we’ll leave it at that. Ha!), but stumbling on these candy sticks that look like twigs totally sparked the idea to do candy apples. I could probably go out to my back yard and get real sticks to put […]

101 in 1001 | Update & End Date

Today marks the end date to my 101 in 1001 and I have some very mixed feelings about it. First of all, if you don’t know what 101 in 1001 is, it’s a list of 101 things to accomplish in 1001 days. I made my list (which took all day of some hard thinking and a […]
