When I started my blog 6.5 years ago, it was to document my life. I wanted a way to share pictures from studying in Northern Ireland with my mom and have a place I could look back on to remember. I've been a scrapbooker as long as I can remember (seriously, I've got some great ones I made in elementary school) and I've been obsessed with taking photos of the people I love and the places I go.

The Day of Wedding Details

Flower Crown Valentine’s Party
Thank you to Kroger for sponsoring this post. All thoughts & opinions are my own. Just like that it is a New Year. The entirety of 2016 lies in our past and nearly all of 2017 awaits us.

I’ve always been a fan of ... continue reading...
