Thankful Challenge Day 16 | 2016

Today I’m thankful for a calm evening for the first time in about a week. We made an easy dinner from Hello Fresh, then watched Gilmore Girls and ate popsicles. Simple and so needed. I love spending time with my guy like that! And I think I’m turning in early tonight. More things ahead to […]

Today I’m thankful that we’re getting this election season over with…’Nuff said. ^Me, last election season. Caption read “I voted…Is it over yet?” It was brutal then and even worse now. Ha!

Gratitude Journaling

Since we’re in the spirit of being thankful this month, what perfect way to also express our gratitude other than with gratitude journaling? As some of you may know, I’ve gotten heavily into journaling over the last year and love the idea of sitting down to write either your favorite moment of the day or […]

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!

How To Make Candy Apples

DW Candle Review

At the end of August, I was already counting down the days to Autumn (…because of course). One day while in Homegoods, I spotted the most gorgeous packaging for candles I’ve seen in a while by DW Home.

For Fox Sake

It’s freakin’ Fall, ya’ll! Reflecting about the season, it amazes me how many people have come out as Fall enthusiasts over the last few years. Maybe it’s the influence of the cozy images on Pinterest. Maybe it’s the Pumpkin Spice anything and everything. Pin Whatever the reason, I sit here and realize that nature is […]

Girls Who Wear Glasses & Where Did My Fashion Go?| Pinterest

Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about style – my style to be precise. From makeup to my wardrobe and how incredibly non-fashionista its been. Somehow I’ve fallen into this very plain wardrobe, wearing my hair up all the time, and never glam up the makeup anymore. I’ve resorted to whatever is the easiest, which […]

One Foot In Front Of The Other

In my little world today, something exciting happened. After nine months of orthodontic treatment, I got my braces off…for the second time. Ha! This is pretty significant, not only because I now have amazingly straight teeth, but it marks the official beginning of the next step for us to grow. David and I have been […]
