Happy Friday! This week has been kind of tough with the realization crashing down on me that I have two papers and a presentation for my grad classes all due at the end of next week. I've made a good dent, but it has for sure put a little damper on my summer loving mood. Nonetheless, this week has been good. T

We had some friends over one night to grill and play games.  We broke out Settlers of Catan. Any Settlers players out there? We hadn't played in years, but I think it will be soon when we get it out again.
It's always fun to get to know other bloggers. The sisterhood of the world bloggers award does just that!  I was nominated for this award by Elizabeth from Chasin Mason. She asked some wonderful questions - some that are fun - and some that caused me to reflect on my blog!  Enjoy!




1 // What do you hope to accomplish with your blog?

I originally started this blog as a DIY blog. It transitioned more into a fashion and lifestyle blog as time went on. I would say I hope to share real life with people and share how it can be easy to be fashionable. Sometimes I feel like what I post can be kind of random - from kids crafts to product reviews to fashion posts, but what I've heard from multiple people is that they like the variety.

Well, my photo clicker is broken, so I'm rocking the 10 second iPhone timer or mirror selfies until my new one comes in! Who knew a little gadget would be so appreciated! Here are some outfits from this past week! It's been SUPER hot some days, so my hair updo has been on repeat.

I've realized as we have added more children in our home, I have to take some extra efforts to make each one feel special. Henry, being our first, got a whole 3 and a half years of us to himself before having to share us. He got personalized gifts, books, new clothes. Poor Wesley and Calvin will flourish in the hand-me-downs. 


Enter The Boy Who Lost His Name. This isn't just any book because you could have three in your house and they won't be the same story!


Two Fridays ago, I posted a picture of my hair and a few people asked if I used a tutorial. I just kind of messed around in making it, but I've worn it exactly the same a couple times since then (including all day on the Fourth of July). I'm letting all self-consciousness go in posting this, just so ya know. :) Posting pictures of myself is one thing, but a video is a little out of my comfort zone. So, enjoy because it probably won't happen very often.
