Hey everyone! I promise I didn’t forget about our 10 Things I’ve Learned series here on the blog. (And apparently, neither did you — thank you so much to all of you who sent kind emails asking about it.) Things have been a little crazy here behind the scenes...
Happy first day of autumn, friends! I have to admit that this day always feels a little bittersweet for this summer-loving girl. While everyone else has been breaking out the pumpkin and chunky sweaters this month, I have been making coconut margaritas and playing Death Cab and freezing my...
This weekend, I spent some time poking around the archives of a few of my favorite design bloggers, and happened to come across this wave of posts that hit the blogosphere two years ago called “Things I’m Afraid To Tell You”. It turns out that one of my favorite...
There’s an epic thunderstorm and lightening show happening outside my window right now, which couldn’t make me happier. Storms in the Midwest are the best, and this one seems like a fitting end to an August that has been swirling with goodness. The best part of August? I was home all month, and...
Lately, I’ve been talking with quite a few bloggers who just feel ________ about their blogs right now. Overwhelmed. Discouraged. Frustrated. Burnt-Out. You fill in the blank. Basically, not so good.

Wow. It has been a month since I’ve returned home from my trip to El Salvador with Unbound, but the dear people I met are still on my mind often. I think of my sponsored friend, Josefa, in the morning when I drink my morning coffee from the matching...
5 tips on how to start a book club...that's awesome...and that lasts. :)
Anne of Green Gables once said, “I wonder what it would be like to live in a world where it was always June.” Well, if I had to live in a world that was like this past month, I’d take it. This June just felt like such a whirlwind...
Happy Sunday, friends! We’re finally back with another post in our “10 Things I’ve Learned” series. And I’m happy that our guest-poster today is my lovely, long-time friend, Meg. I actually met this pretty girl back in the year 2000, when my high school boyfriend took me to his...
