Some of us just aren’t on the Photoshop level quite yet. I’m getting there (shout out to Adobe Creative Cloud) – but I’m still a little stuck in my old ways. I’ve been editing photos like this (easy & free) for years now… that’s really saying something as a mere 20-year-old… and I’m not quite … Continue reading
It’s beginning to look a lot like autumn… That means it’s time for a wardrobe change. No, not as in shopping. I WISH. More like a bin out in the shed with a few sweaters. Almost as good. Now that my dresser’s all organized, I’m super excited to show it off! Now that I’m ready … Continue reading
Is it socially acceptable to have a crush on a home? Because, uh, I’m festering about 50 such crushes currently. As painstaking as the weeding through process is, I’ll share my top 5 favorite houses that I’ve ever seen. Looks like I’m drawn to a colonial-with-a-twist style.

If you’re a DIY/Fashion/Beauty blogger, leave your personal life out of the mix. —– I’m breaking those rules for a couple of reasons. First, my mom told me to. Maybe … Continue reading
Story time, boys and girls! Last week, I was home all by myself and feeling rather… lonely. It was gloomy outside and showing the first signs of colder weather here in my corner of California. My feet were icy and I had no one to talk to. Moral of the story? Mac and cheese, of … Continue reading
Let me start off by saying this. I’ve grown a brand new appreciation for weather changes. For the past year and a half, the weather here in the California Central Valley really hasn’t changed all that much from season to season. Now, I’m usually a fan of consistency, and I’ve never had too much of … Continue reading
I’ve never been a big fan of Halloween – I think the dressing up part is what I don’t like… But I’ll put up with all the silly shenanigans for the sake of candy. And I’m a bit too old to rack in the Halloween treats myself, I usually resort to sneaking some out of … Continue reading
Being my normal emotional self, I think so deeply and I’m constantly vying to “find myself” and figure out how I can best be used by Christ.
