• Baby Shower Playlist

    I love making fun playlists. So when I was in charge of the music for the baby shower this past weekend, I decided to make the baby shower playlist central to the word baby. If “baby” was in the title or it could relate to a baby (see Party All Night, Oh Boy!), it was added. If

  • Consuming News

    One of my goals this year is grow and learn more about the world we live in. I would like to be able to speak intelligently on topics other than the drama going on in the lives of my favorite TV characters. I know, a tall order. Here’s more background from my 2014 goals: I rarely

  • Mint & Gold Baby Shower

    One of my best friends Allison (in like half of all my pictures) is having a baby in a month, and this past weekend a few friends and I threw her a shower at my mom’s house. I am trying to be better about a) taking more photos, and b) posting pictures sooner (still have on

  • Highlights from 2013

December Highlights: +

  • Contentment Challenge

    I mentioned in my 2014 goals that I’m going on a spending fast for three months — today I’m going to share a little more on why and what it’s going to entail. Actually, as a sidenote, if you look at my monthly goals, this year is starting off pretty LAME-O. I started a Paleo diet on

  • January Goals

    Ahhh January. A month of good intentions and wide-eye hope for the new year. J thinks it’s weird that I have feelings about months, but I do. And January? I have a love-hate relationship with January. It’s dark, cold, and I miss the holidays. But I love a fresh start, and it will be a much-needed
