Wow, it's been a really long time since I have been here!! Allow me to apologize and explain where I have been and what I've been up to...

Oliver James turned TWO!

We welcomed a second son into this world SEVEN months ago.

Charles Lee!



Wow I can't believe it's been as long as it has been since the last time I wrote an entry for this blog.

Life took some unexpected & some expected turns in the past year plus since I've been here.

The biggest change has been that we have added a new little addition to our family...

Hope to see you all there!!!!

So today marks the official start of the baseball season {at least in my mind}.

As I am stuck inside an office all day I will be scrolling through Facebook and Instagram living vicariously through friends and family, that are just down the street from me, enjoying the festivities.

Since I won't be able to be there I have been participating the only ways I know how...

Of course, sporting cardinals attire!!

Have a great Monday everyone! :)

Last week I mentioned a little opportunity I had been presented with & today I am going to share with you all just what it is. An incredible jewelry company by the name of Outfit Additions reached out to me a few weeks back about creating some outfits, using their jewelry of course, on their polyvore site. I was extremely flattered and excited to be asked and of course I accepted immediately! Once the outfits were about done I was asked if I wanted to do a series of blog posts talking about the outfits I had put together! Seriously, writing about fashion and jewelry, yes please!

So the first of five posts is currently up on their site now so go on over & check it out!

Let me know what you think!!

POST #1 : What to Wear with Skinny Jeans

Happy Monday everyone!!

It has been a while since I've posted & I hope that those of you who have read my blog in the past can forgive my long {way too long} absence recently.

Allow me to explain the best that I can....

I have this thing, where I find something that I truly LOVE to do, whether it be knitting, reading or blogging, and I go full force with it. I am so passionate about said activity that I burn myself out with it {in turn needing some time off}. I need to learn to balance everything out, take a step back and not over-do it.

So, here I am, back with a new perspective... I can't worry about "what will I post about tomorrow" or "I hope everyone will like what I have to say" as much as I need to focus on "I can't wait to write my next post, I'm so lucky to have this outlet."

I can't let these things that I love to do stress me out, it defeats the purpose. I'm trying and I'm learning as I go.

This realization has come in the form of an awesome opportunity I have been given, to work with and write a few posts for an incredible jewelry company. It will be a series of five posts {one a day... starting tomorrow & concluding next week}... I have had so much fun creating these posts & I can not wait to share them with you all in the next week.

Here is what you can expect from me in the future... I will be posting two to three times a week {in attempts to keep my thoughts and posts as interesting & fun as I can} and promise to not over do it & not try to be anyone else other than myself! :)

Thank you all so much for reading this blog of mine & I hope you continue to do so!!

Have a great day!!!
