Celebrate September!

Celebrate September!

I love all months, but not equally. My love for September will always surpass my feelings for August. I'm so excited for the weather to get cooler, the color schemes to change, and for me to bring my accessory game full force. Not to discount August, though! It was a...

Happy Journal Testimonials

Happy Journal Testimonials

Last month, I posted a list of tips for keeping a gratitude/happy journal. Afterwards, a few lovely ladies let me know that they were inspired to start their own, and I couldn't be more happy about it! I checked in with them to find out how it's going, and I'm really...

Don’t Forget To Go Outside

Don’t Forget To Go Outside

Like many people, I was surprised at how affected I was by Robin Williams' death. It felt like someone punched me when I found out, and I don't really react that way to information about celebrities, good or bad. I'm still very sad that he's no longer with us, but I'm...

A couple months ago, Erika let me know about this pool art performance she found online. We rounded up some of our friends and executed her idea of making a comment on climate change. How did we do that? To the Captain Planet theme song, of course! photo credit: Sarah...

Get Messy Art Journal: Self Portrait

Stuffed Animal Sleepover

Stuffed Animal Sleepover

A few weeks ago, my friend, Miki, sent me a text with a picture of her reading to a few stuffed animals at the library she works at. She told me that sometimes kids leave their stuffed animals at the library overnight, and they take pictures to show them. I decided...

Weekly Happiness

Weekly Happiness

As everyone loads up their new backpacks with crisp and untouched school supplies, I realize how grateful I am that the school chapter of my life is over. I love back-to-school supplies, though, and the feeling I get around this time of year (even though the student...

Monthly Mailings

Monthly Mailings

The reason you haven't seen much on the blog about my mailings is because I haven't been documenting anything! I completely fail in this area, and I'm sorry. You guys have sent me so many lovely things, and I'm so grateful! They deserve to be photographed. I honestly...

Demotion Day

Demotion Day

I don't really enjoy talking about politics that much. There are, however, a handful of issues that I feel very passionately about. Abortion, marriage equality/gay rights, animal cruelty, hover cars, and Pluto. Eight years ago today, Pluto was demoted from being a...
