Hello, lovelies! Tis the season! I never considered myself one of those crazy Christmas people that counts the amount of Friday’s left until Christmas. When October rolled around this year, though, I was ready to put up my tree. Maybe because here in Kentucky it has been a little cooler than usual this fall, butRead more
Hello, lovelies! Don’t you just love this time of year? The weather is cool (yay sweaters and boots!), the leaves are changing, and anything can be pumpkin. One thing that I love about this season is the traditions that I have developed for the season. Family traditions are extremely important, so important that as aRead more
Hello, lovelies! Take is Brady’s “gotcha” anniversary! A year ago today, my friend, Rachel, and I drove 10 hours round way to pick our little bundle of fur and attitude. Readers of Blessed and a Mess and Brandi Amanda, have followed my journey since the day I got him. The time in my life IRead more
Hello, lovelies! Long time no write. September and October seems to be an extremely busy time in the life of teachers, so I’ve not had a lot of time (and energy) to make AND write about it. Since last writing, I have been in a wedding, gone on a weekend retreat, and have gone toRead more
Good morning, lovelies! Hurricane Harvey has found Kentucky just in time for Labor Day weekend. I woke Saturday morning and felt fall at my doorstep. That’s not all I felt, though. While I love my job, this cold weather has left me with the crud. I have really enjoyed resting up this weekend. I can’tRead more
Hello, lovelies! I’m sharing a project that has been done for quite some time, but I haven’t gotten to share since school has started. Anyone that knows me, knows that since Cody got me a Silhouette Cameo last year, that I have been obsessed. In fact, in my 5 DIYs in August post, all ofRead more
Hello, lovelies! July was divine. Partially because I pursued a lot of my hobbies more. Although teachers don’t truly have summers off, I definitely took some “me” time in July. Though I didn’t even complete all of my goals for July, I thought I would sit down and share in inspirations for August. This month,Read more
Hello, lovelies! This is NOT the post I intended to go up today, but it is the post that I feel is meant to be. You all know by now that I’m a complete mess, most of the times. Sometimes this sentiment only pertains to my house, with at least one room that needs tidyingRead more
Hello, lovelies! I just wanted to swing by and wish Harry Potter Happy Birthday! Today I celebrated by baking a cake (from a box), and wearing one of my favorite shirts as I ran errands. School is coming, and as summer winds down, so will my time to be able to make and create myRead more
Hello, lovelies! Last summer there was a lot of big life changes that occurred in my life. I got engaged, I got a new job, and I moved. Fast forward to this summer. I guess it’s time for another slew of announcements. This time there are no engagements, and (thank goodness) no more moving. JustRead more
