End of the week fun!

Today we went to a local street festival and farmers market...it was so nice to get  out in the gorgeous sunshine!!! Riley and her friend Olivia had so much fun going in all the bounce houses and riding the little rides. They even got their faces painted as part of a fundraiser for the Fire Department...and no street festival is complete with cotton candy! 

The day before we got the mini kitchen my husband ordered for Riley! It is so cute, it's like a replica of ours ;) and that UPS guy is clever about hiding packages! Haha. 

Have a great weekend! 

For the Love of Summer

Cover Ups

With the weather slowly creeping up into beach/lake type temperatures, beach accessories and cover ups are necessary when it comes to being summer ready. Here are some of my favorite cover up & accessory looks! 

Summer is almost here!

I can't believe we are already well underway into June...

This past year has gone by so fast it just blows my mind! I've been in Washington for almost a year now. To be honest, I'm glad this year is almost over. It's been so crazy adjusting to all sorts of things - I'm just ready for feeling "settled" and feeling like I'm actually accomplishing something. Right now I just feel like I'm floating along trying to make ends meet and just being "ok" with the schedule I have going. Why is balance so hard to find?? And why is the secret to success so dang secretive?? I'm sure one of these days I'll figure it out...

Anyway how is your Wednesday?? Have any fun plans? 

Long time no....blog?

So I'm long overdue on updating. I'm usually pretty good at keeping up...I just feel like lately I haven't been doing anything that exciting to post about. This weekend we finally had some sunshine...so I took Riley to the park, we went to a BBQ where I made black bean Quinoa burgers (found on Pinterest!) and even did a garage sale with friends. It was a pretty relaxing weekend.

Washington has so much to offer, I just haven't had the chance to experience much of it. I'm hoping this summer I'll be able to change that. Actually, I'm hoping to change quite a bit - I'd like to delve more into crafting and DIY items for our home. I'd also like to get back into designing and creating clothes. It's been a slow process but I'm feeling like the change is weighing heavily on my shoulders, urging me to start back up again. It's a beautiful thing to have a unique talent, and when it's not used it wears on you. I'm passionate about fashion and elements of design. Fear has held me back from moving forward, but I know I'm ready. I know it will open so many doors to opportunities for me. I think a sense if adventure will help open my eyes to new ideas and fill me with the inspiration I've been seeking. 

I'll keep you posted on my progress!
