Truthfully, I feel I don’t need much for Christmas this year. We had a whirlwind year last year full of our friends and family spending tons of time with us and gifting us everything we could ever possibly need for our house, and it has seriously helped us get off to a great start. Read more
I am officially setting an alarm on my google calendar to remind me to do this every month! I really love making these diary posts, and I want to get more consistent with it. Without further ado, here are the last few weeks in picture form.Read more
I’m sure I’m not the only one with *several* people in my life who just seem to have everything. It’s the women (and sometimes men) who are either so content with what they have or fully able to buy whatever they want, whenever they want. This tends to be the women and mother-figures in my life, and I think it’s just because they are so perfectly dedicated to the wants and needs of others. Read more
When I was about to leave for my study abroad trip in 2018, one of the things I was most excited about was keeping a travel journal. I don’t journal any other times, but Katy Bellotte really inspired me with her travel journal from studying abroad (highly recommend watching the video!!)Read more
It’s officially gift guide time! Several people have asked if I am putting together gift guides this year, and honestly the answer was going to be no. Then, Carly from Carly the Prepster shared an INCREDIBLE small business gift guide, and it really encouraged me to do the same except with the businesses I hold near and dear to my heart. Read more
Another reading post, ah makes my heart happy. I’ve read a TON recently, I think it’s just because I am settling in for the winter and practicing coziness. I think know I overworked myself in September and October, so I have been a little hard on myself when it comes to being less productive lately. Reading is nice though because it allows me to still feel productive while actually still resting. Read more
I’m here for another round of recent meals! I hope you all love these posts as much as I do. Plus, keep your eyes out for a super special recipe related post coming very soon.
It’s been so long since I did one of these posts, so I am sure I missed multiple dishes! If you have a question about any of these meals, please reach out to me on Instagram, and I would be happy to help! Read more
If year-ago me had read the title of this post, I probably would have been really surprised. I’ve talked about my journey with cooking before, but I wanted to take today and give an official blog update. Read more
I mentioned a couple weeks ago that these next few months were going to be really busy for me and boy was I right. Time management has been so crucial for me, and while I still can’t claim to even be half as together as I would like to be, I think I am doing fairly well. I thought it might be helpful to list out the tips and tools I have been using to keep myself on track, just in case anyone else has as much riding on time management as I do! Also, I just want to mention how ironic this post is, because it’s actually the second time I’m writing it (somehow didn’t save it after fully writing it in SEPTEMBER), AND it was supposed to be published at 6:30 a.m. this morning, but instead it’s going out after 3 p.m.- I am doing my best, haha!Read more
I can’t believe it’s already Friday! This week has passed quickly and slowly all at the same time somehow. I think it’s mainly due to the anticipation coming with the first acceptable day to start somewhat getting in the Christmas spirit. My mom always begins decorating on Nov. 1 (even having my dad get out the Christmas decorations from the attic on Halloween night!), but I think I will probably just take down all my Halloween decor, leave up plain pumpkins for maybe two weeks, then start decorating for Christmas (besides the tree) around mid-November.
