Hey Friends and Family! Today's post is really exciting because I get to debut my T-SHIRT QUILT! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT soooooooo much!! For those of you who've been to college or are in college, you know that you get a ton of free t-shirts.

Hello Friends and Family, In the past month or so since my job ended and I moved back home to St. Louis, I think I’ve slowly begun to lose my mind. Let me know what you diagnose… I crave organization. I always have, even as a young girl, but as of late, it has gone to extremes.

This is when I tell you what I've been doing in October and what I've been loving this month: My Kindle As an avid book reader and lover of all things paperback, I always swore I would never get an e-reader and facilitate the end of tangible books, but I caved (yes dad, you were right). Am I ashamed of myself? Maybe. Do I love my K[...]
Hey Friends and Family! In preparation for moving into the new house, my mom has been all about DIYs and turning old into new. In that spirit, I made an old candle into a useful jar (and took pictures and blogged about it, duh). STEP 1 Start with a brunt-out candle that has been sitting in the freezer for a few hours. The freezer step is important as the[...]
