    Friday Faves :: sequins, style profiles, chicken, & a free audio book

    Happy Friday to you! Last week, I also told you happy Friday. But it most definitely did not start out as a happy Friday for me. Why, you ask?

  • Friday Faves :: my week

    Happy Friday to you! This week has been a bit abnormal for me as I’ve been fighting and losing a sinus infection battle. I tried to drown it in water and vitamins, but alas – to no avail. My little guy, Miles has been a bit more clingy this week, so we’ve had quite a…

    me: 1 | nightstand clutter: 0

    I have this lovely piece of furniture next to my bed called a nightstand. I mainly use it to hold books. At least that’s how it originally began it’s life purpose. But after years of use, I opened each of the 3 drawers to reveal a big M-E-double S and that spells MESS. It’s always nice…

    Friday Faves! And today, I’ve got to share a recent crush I’ve acquired for graphic tees.
