"Speak to make yourself happy, don't speak to impress others." This quote was printed on the tab of my morning tea yesterday and it stuck with me throughout the day. I took some time to stop and think if I speak to impress others at times. I realized that this quote can be interpreted several … Continue reading Motivational Monday
Happy Friday! This felt like the longest week EVER. I am not sure what it was but everyday felt like a Monday and I could just not get into my usual routine. My husband was super busy this week and we didn't see much of each other so I am looking forward to getting in … Continue reading Living Lately No. 12

I told myself that over the weekend I would get caught up, but that didn't work out either. Normally this is something that would frustrate me; being behind, not sticking to … Continue reading Motivational Monday: Quality Time

I try to incorporate as many easy and refreshing meals into our weekly menu as I can. … Continue reading Favorite Summer Recipes
If you open up my closet you will find that the majority of it is blue and white with a very small percentage of colored pieces. I told myself I would start branching out and that lasted for a while. Then as I packed my bags for Chicago I realized that every single item I … Continue reading Summer Red
As I'm sure many of you have plans to celebrate the Fourth of July tomorrow, be sure to take some time to give thanks and appreciate the true meaning of this holiday. Along with many other holidays I feel like The 4th is no longer celebrated for its true meaning. So I just want to take this … Continue reading Motivational Monday: Independence Day
