Photo-heavy post warning! Last week we escaped down to Port Aransas on Mustang Island for a few days. It was a 4-hour drive from our place, which isn't too bad, though some passengers disagreed: There was a lot of rain on the way down, but it cleared up for a...
1. We head to Port Aransas and the beach tomorrow! And I'm super excited. Except... I made the mistake of checking the weather forecast: Boo!! I'm hoping those chance of rain percentages go down or are wrong and really mean 0. Because a beach vacation where it rains...
If you've been a reader here for awhile (hey, thanks!), you know that this little blog turned 2 earlier this year. Yay! *confetti* Exciting, and humbling to see how much it's grown. And also very thought-provoking, as I've been trying to figure out what direction I...

Today this little blog turns 2! And it's surprisingly a big deal. I guess I never thought I'd actually stick with it this long. A large part of that is because of you guys. Yes, this is a valuable creative outlet for me, but without knowing that -miraculously- there...
1. The wall decals I ordered came today! They were a pain to peel off their backing without pieces getting stuck to each other. But actually putting on the wall was easy, and I love how it turned out! This is our loft upstairs, kind of right outside my office. We...
