My Honey Stash

It’s only natural that I follow my evening tea post with a post about honey. The two go together hand-in-hand. I’ve come to realize that not all honeys are the same. This was made abundantly clear to me after I tried Kroger brand honey (grossssss). I hadn’t finished unpacking after I moved and couldn’t find my […]

Favorite Evening Tea

If you don’t know, I am a big fan of tea. Like a verrrrry big fan. Lately I’ve gotten into the habit of having a cup of tea in the evening. It’s the perfect way to unwind after a long day. I thought I’d share my favorite evening* tea – the Celestial Seasonings Fruit Tea Sampler and Herbal […]

Trendy Tuesday | Blanket Scarves

This is easily one of my all-time favorite trends to grace the blog. I ADORE blanket scarves. They are cozy AND cute – which is essentially the mission statement for my wardrobe. If you haven’t seen these yet, you may live under a rock really need to get yourself to a Target. STAT. I’m not judging though – instead of telling […]

New Year’s Resolutions

Can you believe it’s the last day of 2015? Me either. Can you believe how many times you’re going to hear someone ask this today? ;) As we begin to shift our focus to the new year, we start to think of how we can be better next year. Sometimes we might not even think that […]

Christmas Credit

This year Austin and I did Christmas a little differently…. First we tried giving suggestions to each other but that failed miserably. It didn’t feel genuine and it also didn’t really help… We’ve been so blessed this year – we both got new jobs and have recently settled into our new home in Michigan, what more could we […]

Trendy Tuesday | Jane the Virgin

Jane the Virgin is one of the BEST shows I have EVER seen. Katherine had mentioned how good Jane the Virgin was, and when I saw that it was only $8 at Target on Black Friday, I couldn’t resist. (Side note: It is also on Netflix!) This show is always dramatic, cheesy at times, and absolutely heartwarming […]

Trendy Tuesday | Christmas Wrapping

It’s the mooooost wonderful time of the year. 🎄 This is probably the first year I’ve thoroughly enjoyed wrapping, and for that, it has made it onto Trendy Tuesday. I’ve always admired when others get really into wrapping with beautiful papers and bows. A few papers caught my eye this year, mostly the classic colors and patterns […]

Portraits | Katherine

If you missed Katherine’s preview, allow me to introduce you to her – Katherine is as sweet as they come and I have to say, if it wasn’t for her, I probably would not be blogging right now! She has been so encouraging and motivating when it comes to me getting back into photography! You see, in her […]
