Pin-spiration | Spring

Spring is in full force and the pollen in the air doesn’t let me forget it! I always have a love/hate feeling for Spring for that very reason, but once I see the green leaves beginning to bud and the flowers popping up, sinus problems seem all too worth it!  I love seeing everything come […]

Getting My Canon Rebel T5 dSLR

For the past five years or so, I’ve been eagerly awaiting the day to receive a dSLR camera in my hands and learn how to use it. Partly because I’ve always wanted to take my blogging images a step further since I’ve been using the camera on my phone for the majority of the time […]

Renaissance Lavender | Review

Over the last few years I’ve really gotten into loose leaf tea. Specifically minty teas. So when I ran into Tea in the Tower by Renaissance Lavender at a craft fair almost two years ago now, I knew I had to try it. It seemed like a little hand crafted luxury to take home with […]

Swannanoa Palace

I’m a little (okay, a lot) delinquent on this post, considering we visited Swannanoa in the Fall, right when those gorgeous changing leaves are about to be at their peak. Even though it’s been a few months since the visit, I couldn’t not share. Swannanoa is too beautiful not to share. Swannanoa is nestled in […]

“Quiet People Have The Loudest Minds”

Ever since last April, I’ve been journaling like my life depends on it. I’ve kept a journal ever since I was eight, but began doing it as “my thing” back in high school. Every time I would go to the bookstore, a trip to the journal and notebook section was a must. My collection of […]

A Year In Review | 2015

I feel like it wasn’t long ago I was doing a year in review for 2014 but here we are in good ‘ole 2016, fresh as a daisy, with a renewed sense of hope and motivation still looming in the air. So new, that I’ve decided to rename 2016 “Sweet Sixteen”, because I’m hoping it’s […]

Adventures In Snapchat Land | Fudge Fail?

For a while, I’ve thought about vlogging (still up in the air if we’ll start doing that), but Snapchat let me get some practice in last week when I documented making fudge for my Dad’s birthday. I think we need to make a drinking game for all the times I say “also” and “so“. I […]

Christmas Tag

1. Do you like to stay in your PJ’s, or dress up for Christmas? This totally depends on what we’re going to be doing that day. Normally, I stay in my pajamas if we’re not going anywhere or having company over (much like any day off for me, let’s be honest) 2. If you could […]

Dreaming of A White Christmas | Pinterest

Lately, we’ve had warmer weather than usual for the month of December. I’ll admit that it’s been nice to walk around without a coat, much less a heavy coat, or brace myself for the beginnings of a bitter winter, but the unusual sixty degree weather is cramping my Christmas style. If I didn’t see Christmas […]

Adventures In Snapchat Land | I’m Really An Elf

It was so nice wrapping a few presents by this gorgeous tree of mine! ^When you try to take a quick selfie at a red light and hope no one saw you… Raised by Elves, but since I’m too large to fit in the factory, I’m Santa’s assistant running errands… Snapchat: brandiesellers
