Summer may be over but that doesn't mean the fun has to end (or that the temperatures have to drop - seriously, it is like 85° this week - anyone else still sweating on the way to work?!) I love that adventures are year round especially when our summer pretty much looked like a big fat finish the basement project (Side Note: If you are wondering that is still trucking on slowly but surly. I think we can see the light at the end of the tunnel!? Expect some kinds of posts in October ;) ) Good news ... continue reading...

Messy? Sure! Super cool when I can create marbled art without having to leave my ... continue reading...
Crunch Time & Launch Details
I wanted to thank you all for your sweet encouragement this week! I was so nervous for the launch and just eager to hear what you all had to say! I am honestly so thankful for each one of you! This place wouldn't be the same without you. I've been preparing for this week for months and these last days I've spent sipping on spicy chai, crunching on candy bar fuel, and fixing broken links & Bloglovin' feed issues. Just a day in the life! Also, kicking boredom to the curb because ain't nobody ... continue reading...
