Date Night in Baldwinsville, New York & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #133
Jeff and I haven’t had a date night since our anniversary in January. And the stars seemed to align perfectly when I received an email from Bandsintown early last week informing me that Yonder Mountain String Band was playing in Baldwinsville, New York, on Saturday night. The in-laws were in town so we didn’t need to scramble for a babysitter and everything was super easy from a planning perspective. That, in and of itself, is a blessing. So we grabbed hold of the opportunity and headed out Saturday afternoon for the one and a half hour drive south for dinner and a concert. Neither of us have ever been to…

I have no idea what I’m doing. For real. This has become the natural state of things for me lately. But on the flip side, I do know exactly what I should be doing. And so, with the loving support of my husband, I have made a decision that is scary and intimidating but I think (fingers crossed) it will be much to my benefit in the long term. Let me give you some background…when I was in Asheville a few weeks ago, I felt more creatively inspired than I have in a really, really long time. When I came home, I cycled into a pretty severe depression for that…

Swim Suit Remix Take 2 & Link Up On the Edge #154
This is the final remix of my two new swim suits from Rosegal. You are probably thinking, “Thank goodness. Enough of her pasty white skin blinding me through my computer screen.” I promise, this will be the end of it seeing as I don’t really going swimming much anyway. I could have combined all four sets of swim suit stylings into one post except I have been working on some other projects and needed the easy extra content to get me through until I really start sharing the good stuff. More on that later. Later meaning next week…maybe. In case you missed the other three swim suit stylings (or maybe…
