My Beautiful Mess
With smart phones, compact cameras, and access to DSLRs - we are never without a way to snap a photo of whatever strikes our fancy. As a child who grew up sneaking her mother's 110 camera to take photos of random things around the house, I can't deny my love of all things photography. And [...]
For months I've wanted to share this post. To share my story. But for several reasons, I couldn't bring myself to. I wasn't sure if I wanted to have my utmost vulnerable moments ripped open for the world to see and judge. I wasn't sure if I wanted to expose my thoughts and feelings the [...]
Have you ever wanted to say something, but kept it in because you just didn't want to deal with someone's reaction? Of course you have. I'm sure most of us wish we could be Sheldon Cooper for a day (or twenty) - me, if I were able to have one super power, the ability to [...]
Tomorrow I'll stop by and silently wish you a Happy Mother's Day. A woman I've never met. I'll offer up, yet again, a silent thank you and many thoughts of appreciation to you -- my soon-to-be mother-in-law. I'll tell you how much I love and adore your son, though it's quite impossible to put into [...]
I popped the cover on the can of primer and began painting the hallway of our apartment today. He didn't want me to paint, I knew it. But I've been on Pinterest a little too much lately and was determined to give our home a facelift. "Ugh, I hate painting." Which he totally does and [...]
This may just be my largest/longest post in this mini series. As a child there wasn't many times I was caught without my nose in a book. I would have to be told several times to leave it away from the dinner table, I would take it in the bath with me, the car, shopping [...]
A little less my forte, but deserving of a post of its own all the same. Romantic novels are usually my turn-to when I'm feeling overwhelmed with school. Similar to those who have guilty pleasures in the form of a television show, I have guilty pleasures in the form of books. When I'm feeling bogged [...]
I'm not even going to try and sugarcoat this post. I am completely and utterly biased here because my favorite author writes suspense/thriller novels and I love her work too much to recommend anyone beyond here - yes, I love them that much. Sandra Brown was originally known for her romance novels dating back to [...]
Now this is my jam. If ever you're looking for me in a book store, this is where you'll find me - lost among the rows and rows of non-fiction and biographies. *sigh* People fascinate me. I love, love, love reading about the lives of various individuals - where they come from, their cultural beliefs, [...]
I'm aiming to make this year's birthday a little different, in a huge way, and I'm reaching out to my friends and family to help me. Three years ago, partly do to with health issues, my bucket list began to grow, but more than that, I began to focus on experiencing the things I was [...]
