DIY Halloween: Witchy Laundry Line

Here’s what you’ll need: Colored felt squares Colored thin ribbon Mini clothespins Twine Paper (for the stencil) Tailor’s Chalk Hot glue/hot glue gun Scissors Draw your templates on sheets of paper.

Is it Possible You’re Getting Too Much Self-Help Advice?
For quite a while now, I have been on my own personal development journey. I have devoured books, articles, and podcasts on the areas of personal development that interest me. I have tried to curate my social media feeds to include as many inspiring people as I can. But there have been times when I have felt overwhelmed, not knowing what I should do first and that’s usually when my motivation tanks. How is it possible to feel like this when I have curated my feeds to give me all thing inspirational content? Is it really possible to get too much self-help and personal development advice? My short answer is…

Our Engagement Story
his coming Tuesday will mark 3 years since Jake asked me to marry him. The only day that has topped such a magical day was our wedding day and I will remember them both for as long as I live! At that point, we had been together just over 4 years. We had talked about marriage as our logical next step and all there was left to do was for one of us to pop the question! I had thought about what it would be like for Jake to get down on one knee and propose, I knew it would be so special but the real proposal blew any idea…

5 Self Care Areas I Focus on Weekly
If you’ve been reading my blog since the beginning, you’ll know that self-care is a topic and practice that is so important to me. Many of my ideas for blog posts come from one of five self-care areas that I value the most for my anxiety management and quality of life! These areas are constantly evolving and changing. Some weeks one area may be more of a priority than others. I should also note that I do struggle with guilt when I feel like I am not giving enough time to one of these areas on a given week but the truth is, even if I am focusing more on…

Weekday Wardrobe #2
It’s the tail end of summer and I will be honest, I find this time of year very difficult to dress in terms of transitioning. I love the bright colors of summer clothes but sometimes I am really just ready to throw on my cozy sweaters that I live in for the whole of late fall and all of winter. This is just a really simple outfit for work that is comfortable but a little more put together. I love the color of this top and the peplum shape is really flattering. I always pair this one with a pair of darker wash jeans because for me they make the…

Happy Hosting: A Fall Table
I never realized how much I loved hosting until we moved into our house a few years ago. There is nothing that gets me more excited for a get together than whipping up a bunch of crowd pleasing appetizers, decorating the patio for a birthday party or setting an elaborate table for the holidays! And since we are entering peak holiday season, I thought it would be so fun to start a feature called Happy Hosting where I share hosting inspiration for every occasion. I want to share everything from my favorite recipes to serve my guests, fun DIY party decorations, delicious cocktails and mocktails, fancy tablescapes, and other tips…
