Currently Loving: Alarm Clock Edition

I was thinking today that we could really use a new alarm clock. (We don’t use our iPhones, shocking I know!) Something stylish, because let’s face it, most alarm clocks are hideous. This would be a really simple task for me to do, if I felt comfortable with an analog clock (I did include a [...]Weekend Wrap-Up #37 + President’s Day

Our weekend started out like most of our weekends. By just sitting at home friday night and relaxing, but I did manage to cut and glue a lot of felt. My mission was to clear off the coffee table since my wreath projects had completely taken over. (I did accomplish that goal!) On Saturday, Travis took me out to El...

If you’ve been following my blog since we moved into our second apartment, you might recall the battles that I’ve had with our storage room. Most people have that one room, or place in their house where they put all of their junk that they don’t want, don’t have room for, will do something...

First off, Happy Valentine’s Day! ♥
I bought a beautiful Mason Jar + Wildflower print from Katie Daisy’s etsy shop, called The Wheatfield during her black friday sale. Yes, way back in November and I had yet to frame it. The print screamed everything I loved, but it just sat around collecting...

This week has not gone as planned, blogging-wise. I wanted to do a Tech Tuesday post yesterday, but I was sick, so I didn’t touch my laptop at all. Today I wanted to post about the picture frame I picked up at Marshall’s over the weekend, but since I didn’t touch my laptop yesterday, I...

Darn weekends and their flying by. I’m so ready for my three-day weekend that’s coming up (President’s Day), but in the meantime, it’s time to get back to blogging. I should actually have three posts this week (what!?). I’m slowing getting back into the swing of things, but...

Silence on here for more than three days really gets to me, so in-between jamming out to Blake Shelton and cleaning up the apartment, I got the motivation to do a quick vlog (six minutes). Just to update you all on things that are going on, and what’s keeping me from blogging on a regular basis. Plus, get a...

I’m operating on about four hours of sleep today, so if this post makes zero sense, I apologize now. I also vote that Super Bowl Sunday be changed to Super Bowl Saturday. Getting to bed at midnight, on a work night after the hype and drinking from a super bowl party, does not sit well for me on a Monday...

It has been a little over a week since I last posted. That is just crazy! But I’ve been crazy stressed and busy. So much so that I just didn’t feel like myself for a few days, was second guessing everything (the blog, the etsy shop) and was filled with anxiety that I just couldn’t shake. But...
