2017 was a bit of a roller coaster ride. Early in the year, Shelby lost her Grandfather to lung cancer. We were able to go and spend time with him and Grandma in January before he passed on February 11th. In late April, we traveled back to Texas to celebrate Kendra and Bryce’s wedding. Shelby [...]

Calling
I don't write nearly enough personal or reflective posts anymore. Blogging over the last few years has turned into a bit of an advertising space for brands and products. I've been slowly making my way through 100 days to brave from Annie F Downs, and I love her encouraging words on the subject of your [...]
Dressember 2017 Update
Here's a recap on the first few weeks of Dressember 2017, my goal this year wasn't to wear the same dress everyday but just a variety of dresses from my closet. And I only wore dresses on days I got to pick what I was going to wear for fun. I'm wearing jeans/pants to work [...]
Finished Reading: A Simplified Life by Emily Ley
Last year for Christmas my sister bought me Grace not Perfection from Emily Ley, designer & creator of The Simplified Planner. I absolutely loved Grace not Perfection and may have read it in like 3 days, I also bought myself a Simplified Planner for my birthday this year and it's my favorite. So, all that [...]
Settling in Colorado Springs
Well, we've been in our little apartment for over a week now. It's coming together, slowly, but it is coming together. Travis is happy with his position at the hospital, and I'm slowly leaning into a life of independent contractor, homemaker, and part time Hallmark employee (who knew I could wear so many hats)! Although [...]

The Next Step in my Career
I always thought being a full-time blogger would be the best gig, EVER. And I know several full-time bloggers so I also know it's a hard job. There is nothing glamorous about working from home, it's the hardest work out there. My 'Work from Home' entrepreneurs and blogger friends are dedicated and devoted to their [...]
Thanksgiving 2017
Tis the season to reminisce on all the year has brought and taken. This is the first thanksgiving Travis and I are spending in Colorado since 2013, it seems impossible that we are here again. I'm so incredibly thankful for being back in this beautiful colorful state. At the same time, I'm incredibly sad to [...]
Home Sweet Home | Colorado Springs
Well, we made it! We're now Colorado residents yet again & thrilled to be here just in time for snow! I've clearly lost my high tolerance of the cold and will need to tread lightly back into the winter climate here on the Front Range. So many things have changed, Travis with his new job [...]
Diary Post 11/11/2017
So, it's been a legit long time since I've written a diary post. But honestly, not a ton has happened. Ok, so we did go see the eclipse in Madras, my BFF got married in Austin, & I turned 31 (insert horrified emoji face here). But really over the last month it's been mostly me, packing, [...]
