    Weekday Wardrobe: Sweater Weather

    October 23, 2019 /

    I have always loved fashion and thought it would be cool to try a weekday wardrobe post to use as a personal style diary! Last week was chilly here in Western Washington so I decided to wear my favorite uniform, a sweater and a comfy pair of jeans! I bet you won’t be able to guess the places I like to shop 😉 Let me know which look is your favorite!

    Our Wedding: The Ceremony

    October 7, 2019 /

    Part two is pictures from the ceremony. One of my best friends, Nicole, officiated our ceremony and did the best job. My bridesmaids were my best friends Amy and Kristine, and my cousin Lydia. Jake’s groomsmen were his friends Justin, Randy, and Will. We wrote our own vows and had a short and very sweet ceremony that was so filled with love, I still cry thinking about it.

    Our Wedding: Best Day Ever

    October 6, 2019 /

    Our wedding day was one of the best days of my life. Everything from our venue, flowers, caterers, to our photographers and day of coordinator was a dream. It was everything I had hoped it would be and so much more. I have decided to split this into five parts since we have so many beautiful photos. This first set is of us getting ready and some of the details. I hope you enjoy!

    It certainly has been a long time since I have posted in this space. The process of planning our wedding took a lot of time and energy and it was just easier to focus on that for the time being. Since getting back from our honeymoon we’ve been settling into married life which is very similar to our pre-married life except I get to call Jake my husband in conversations with others! I will be honest though, I have been suffering from the post-wedding blues and have found it difficult to motivate myself back into any sort of routine be in posting to my blog, exercising or consistently packing my…

    Goal A Month: January

    January 13, 2019 /

    I shared a little bit in a previous post about how I am approaching goals for 2019. The plan is to create healthy habits that build up to help me reach the larger goals I have for myself. To do this, I have created a plan for each month and each habit I hope to develop. I’ve also made it a point to tap into my “why power” to really get to the heart of why I want to develop this habit. By doing this I have built in motivation! For January, I really wanted to focus on becoming an early riser. A few years ago, I got up early…

    My Simple 2019 Bullet Journal Planner Spread

    January 10, 2019 /

    Buying a new planner has always been one of my favorite new year traditions. I love flipping through a newly purchased planner and adding my important dates but a lot of times I find either the planner doesn’t have exactly what I need or it has way more than what I need. This year I decided that instead of shelling out the dough for a new planner, I would bust out a bullet journal that I bought over a year ago and create my own. The time is takes to do this may seem a bit overkill but this planner layout I have created for myself is simple and functional.…
