I usually do these yearly roundups before the new year, but I didn’t quite get it into my calendar. Better late than never. It’s one of my favorite traditions– this is my twelfth year doing it– and I love looking back on past years to see how things change. Here are my favorites from 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017,…

Nike Sneakers
I’m looking into getting a new pair of sneakers. Now… I have the intention of getting into somewhat of a running routine (starting April 1… maybe?). Even if the running doesn’t happen, which it never does for too long for me, I do want a cute pair of sneakers to wear on the weekends, while…
Snaps from Charleston
We’re already on our way back from Charleston. It truly was a quick road trip, but honestly quite a bit of fun. When a trip includes 15+ hours in an RV one-way you know it’s going to be fun, right?! It was the best change of scenery, right as we’re nearing the end of winter….
GIVEAWAY :: Nico and Lala
It’s crazy that I have yet to meet Nicole and Lauren in person. I feel like I know them. They’re such fun and creative girls and I just love seeing what kinds of new projects and products they come up with. They were the creative geniuses behind the decorations at my Washington, DC meet and…
