It's definitely winter now. Cold fronts have come in full force, the wind is whipping around, and snow is now a weekly possibility. What does that mean for your kitchen? I'd venture a guess that you are making (or at least eating) soups every now and then, if not all the time. My meal plan … Continue reading A Potential Soup Fail that Turned Out to Be Delicious
30 Days to Fit
This time last year I was hoping to lose a little bit of weight. Usually I go through cycles throughout the year where my weight is a little higher or a little lower depending on the season. However, I noticed that I didn't lose a few pounds like I normally do during the summer, so … Continue reading 30 Days to Fit

Hair News
I hate having brown hair. I was born with (well, no hair, but eventually I got some) bright blonde hair - a peachy, strawberry color - but like my dad whom I got the blonde from, eventually it faded away. Instead of getting streaks of white around my face in the summer (and worrying about … Continue reading Hair News
Five Years
Whit and I have been married for five years. That seems so crazy to me! That's such a good chunk of time. It seems short, when thinking about all the people who have been married for 10, 20, 30 years. But when we celebrated our second anniversary I felt so much older and more experienced … Continue reading Five Years
Grad School Outfits
One of my goals in starting grad school was to dress nicely. I began caring about my hair and outfit choices when I started working in the Cru office, and wanted to continue to look presentable in my master's program. I thought it was necessary, as an "I'm a professional" and "this is a business … Continue reading Grad School Outfits
Life Update! And a Million Brainpoints about My Time in Colorful Colorado

Anyways, I have fifteen SPARE minutes that opened up in my life, and I'm feeling accomplished and energetic, so … Continue reading Life Update! And a Million Brainpoints about My Time in Colorful Colorado
The Time Garden
Don't you love that title? It sounds like I'm going to write something amazing and creative and inspiring! But here's the deal - I received this book for free from Blogging for Books, in exchange for my honest opinion. "The Time Garden" is an adult coloring book. I know what you're thinking. That sounds.... creepy, … Continue reading The Time Garden
Doing Stuff and Baking Bread
Hey, wow, what do you know? I'm blogging again! It's been quite some time, for very good reasons. The one advice I got for the summer before grad school was to "get rest," as was my biggest goal for May-August. Apparently, life happened differently than I would've planned on, and most of that rest wasn't … Continue reading Doing Stuff and Baking Bread
Summer Uniform
Short shorts and tees for days What is your go-to summer outfit? I love the simplicity, ease, (and warmth!) of dressing in the summer. I'm not saying these outfits (or photo quality) are great, but that doesn't mean I don't love them with all of my heart. ❤
