The 4th of July is one of our favorite holidays. Every year we pack up a bunch of food, join up with some friends, and watch fireworks under the giant Texas sky at a local park. It’s SO fun. My husband’s birthday is the next day, so, it’s also a great excuse for a party. …
My laundry room is tiny. This is unfortunate since I seemingly spend hours of every day tucked away inside this little space. Washing, switching, folding, hanging, putting away. It’s kind of a non-stop affair around here. Honestly, I don’t really mind doing laundry. I know. WHAT. Part of the reason is because I know it could …
Washi tape is one of those things I can’t stop buying. Like scrapbook paper. And buttons. And books. And pens. And stickers. Kind of like all of those things. Unlike books, or stickers, or pens, though…washi can be a little trickier to store. I want it out where I can see it so I …

I have been struggling with finding the perfect blog planner for the longest time. About a year ago, I decided I’d just make my own. And then, you know how it goes…things come up, I get sidetracked, I put it off…and meanwhile, all of my blog plans, editorial calendars, goals, and other important stuff is …
Call me crazy, but an hour of solitude with my planner makes me happy. The pens! The stickers! The washi! The getting-everything-organized-in-my-brain-for-the-next-week…it’s therapeutic.
