It’s a cruel, cruel, cruel summer. Memorial Day weekend is usually spent at our neighborhood pool, but right now it’s looking exactly like the previous weekend and the one before that. School ends in two weeks and I am grateful I dropped the ball with signing our daughter up for summer camps this season and… Continue Reading Weekend Reads #106

Yoga mats are shoved under all the furniture to prevent our dog’s balls from rolling underneath. The living room floor lamp now has a grow lightbulb in it and has moved to the end of the dining table which has been transformed into a plant nursery. The bedroom is cleaner than it has ever been… Continue Reading Weekend Reads #100

I’d like you to meet “Self Acceptance” by Kristine Mays.  Many of you have noticed her in the back of my photos on Instagram and in my weekly outfit recaps.  I connected with the artist Kristine Mays over a decade ago, when we were both blogging about our everyday lives on Blogspot. I’ve followed as… Continue Reading Weekend Reads #99
