Grace, Not Perfection

So, here’s the truth…I’ve been in a funk for the last couple of weeks. Lack of creativity, dissatisfaction, annoyance, etc. Honestly, I feel/felt like a bit of a walking zombie…just going through the motions of life. I knew something “weird’ was going on when I realized I was losing my “want to”, to even post here on the blog.

Truthful Wednesdays: The Ultimate Beach Bag Swag

I can’t believe that our FIRST Read family vacation has come and gone! We planned for a little over a year and now it is over. Being the freakish planner that I am, I’m already looking forward to planning our next adventure. If you guys have any location ideas, feel free to send them over! Recommendations are always good.

Truthful Wednesdays: Beautifully Disguised {aka Linen Closet Organization}

This Friday marks two months Jason and I having been living in our new space. While I would love to say that everything is perfectly done…it’s not. In fact, we have yet to mount our headboard. Our gallery wall is perfectly organized but still laying on the floor in the living room. Oh, and all of our curtains are too short for our new windows. hahaha. This is real life people.

Truthful Wednesdays: The Secret To Managing Your Inbox

I have to admit. There is ONE THING that I absolutely hate about being a blogger and that is the UNGODLY amount of emailing we have to do. There have been countless days when I have simply starred at my computer screen in both disbelief and anxiety by the sheer volume of emails I had and needed to respond to.

Truthful Wednesdays: Keeping Up With The Jones, A Blogger’s Office

While there are a MILLION things that I love about being a style blogger, there is one thing I have come to hate and that is the need to constantly project a lifestyle of perfection. When I first started this journey, I was obsessed with everything that all of the top blossoming blogger gals had.

The BELONG Tour…is coming for YOU!

If you’ve been following me for awhile, then you know there are two things that I greatly value and that is, community and transparency. Over the last year or so, I’ve given some extra effort two both of these areas in hopes of inspiring others to live boldly, to connect with others and to passionately pursue their dreams.
