Keep Calm + Pom Pom On

Okay, so I don’t think the fluffy thingys on my hat are exactly poms, but they remind me of them, and are just as fun as them, so just go with me on this, please? Poms are everywhere! And for good reason – they’re that fun friend that brings the party with her, and makes you

Pins + Tux

Goooood, post-4th morning!! Hope you all had a fun, holiday weekend! We spent ours clearing trees, fencing, and rubbish. Sounds super boring, but it felt so good to starting prepping the building site for our new home! And I just started using Snapchat. I was one of the old folk that was totally confused by

Wedding Troupe

It was. An absolutely. Gorrrrrrgeous weekend for outdoor weddings this past weekend!! So very fortunate for us that we actually got to attend one! My husband and I haven’t been to a wedding in…. hmm, many, many moons (because we’re, like, almost 92), so we were super excited to go to this one. We had

Our current living circumstances are not ideal by any means, and have certainly been challenging on many fronts, but we have tried, and are still trying very hard, to see the

A (Two)Piece of My Mind

I am talking Two Pieces, this morning, which is kind of a big deal for me. Ever since having my last kiddo, wearing bikinis has always been something I wasn’t quiiite comfortable doing, because of stretch marks. Mine weren’t bad – very small/faint – but I still felt like, hmmm those are best under a

Heli Good

I’m fiiiinally getting around to posting photos from our heli tour of the Big Island, today! Two disclaimers, sort of. 1) I brought the wrong lens on our ride, so the shots aren’t amazing, but I hope it gives you a semi-idea as to the magnitude of the stunning beauty of Hawaii? 2) What I
