an alternate title could be: if you were looking in a mirror, deciding you need a haircut, would you cut it right then yourself, or schedule an appointment for later? guess which one I did? like, just 10 minutes ago. You know I grabbed the shears from the kitchen (we even have hair trimming scissors somewhere in the house) and cut my hair...

I have some thoughts on making routines and habits to share with you today. And I am just going to start out saying that this is coming from the person who just doesn't get routines and has a hard time doing the same thing twice.

Last Monday was my birthday. I turned 27. It was a rainy, cold, Monday which was unlike any birthday I've had before. It's usually bright and sunny on the 16th of May.

My friend, lexi is incredibly talented and took some photos of us while we were visiting in Phoenix. I'm trying my hardest to stay positive over here, but I am struggling. I've been sick for what seems like forever and Jordan started a...

I woke up this morning feeling rested and ready to tackle the new week. This hasn't been the case lately, as Ruby has not been sleeping so well at night. This past week she learned so many new things, from climbing up on everything to clapping. She really is working through that milestones list! All that to say, she doesn't have much time...
