For those of you who, like me, need this reminder today (and every day)... This post on Nicole's blog encouraged me so much I wanted to make a reminder of it. Nicole is currently pregnant AND waiting to hear about an adoption placement. In the world's eyes, she has plenty to worry about! I obviously … Continue reading Don’t Worry

Short Hair
After I got out of the shower after my hair cut (two months ago) and felt my once-long locks chopped and thin from the water, I felt like a cog. One of those cyborg half-human ladies from a dystopian sci-fi movie. Not that having short hair is bad, I just felt... bald. The last time … Continue reading Short Hair
Favorite Fall Movies
Let's face it: September is coming, and every month for the rest of the year is filled with seasonal feelings and holiday cheer. How better to relish this time of year than snuggling up with a blanket, a candle, and some popcorn and watching some classic movies? These are my favorite movies to watch from … Continue reading Favorite Fall Movies
Week 1

I was hoping that the first week back would be slow and casual, that I would be able to easily … Continue reading Week 1

But since my husband and I aren't trying to be in that stage yet, I feel alone. I feel disconnected from my … Continue reading When You Feel Like the Only One

By having a garden that attracts bees, you can help this endangered species stick around. The … Continue reading A Garden for Bees
Home! & Illness Recap
Currently It is SO wonderful to be home. Two months away is a long time. My time in Cambodia was awesome - so full of experiences, culture, new people and things - but it was exhausting. I was on the move every one to four nights, always re-packing and unpacking and re-packing again to stay … Continue reading Home! & Illness Recap
Dreaming of Fall
I am not normally one to wish away summer, but the past few months were so long and full of challenges that I am finding myself overly ready for autumn. Pinterest never fails to be a source of inspiration, especially for holidays, so I thought I would share some of the images that have been … Continue reading Dreaming of Fall
Introducing…
A new look! For a few years on and off I have brainstormed what my "brand" would look like if I actually had a design of my own. Earlier this year, I finally changed the name of my blog to reflect the style and aesthetic I am hoping to achieve in this space. This summer, … Continue reading Introducing…
