I just finished writing down all of the gratitude questions from the blog post I found them on, cut them up, folded them, and put them all in a cute little bag my sister Lizzy made for me a while ago. So now I can just grab a question out of the bag, and I don’t have to worry about … Continue reading “Grati-Tuesday”
Two weeks ago we had our 18-20 weeks ultrasound, and we asked the technician to write the gender in an envelope. That weekend at our gender reveal party, my sisters went in their room and opened it and filled 2 black balloons with blue or pink, and we popped them to find out the gender! (Here’s the video – complete with … Continue reading “21 Weeks & Grateful”
This week’s Grati-Tuesday prompt is: What technology are you grateful for? This question comes at a good time for our little family, because- since baby is on the way- we have decided to upgrade before all our money is spent on baby food and diapers (exaggerating a little). Last week we finally joined this century and got smart phones!! Our … Continue reading “Grati-Tuesday”

The people there are also so friendly, and we always feel so at home there. We stayed right across the street from Alamitos Bay (which … Continue reading “California Dreamin’ 2016”
It’s back ya’ll! I stopped doing Grati-Tuesday a couple of months ago because I felt like it was getting old, and I wanted to figure out a way to make it more interactive or present it differently.

+ Dallas was pretty set on taking our graduation announcement picture on top of the press box and I didn’t argue. I’m glad I didn’t, because I doubt anyone else had a picture like ours! + We’re finally done for real! I mean, we graduated in December, but I was taking some classes to keep my student jobs, and … Continue reading “School’s Out Forever!”
Fabric: Jersey Knit from JoAnn’s Pattern: Hey June, Union St. Tee I decided on Friday that I was pretty much fed up with doing school work and job work and that I was going to take the afternoon for some ‘me-time’ and finally sew something (I was having withdrawals). Lately, while I’ve been looking for fabric, I’ve been really thinking … Continue reading “DIY Union St. Tee (Scoop Neck)”
This is a project I recently finished for my Typography 2 class! The assignment was to do some sort of environmental typography – basically choose a type/font and layout, choose your materials, and display it somewhere in the environment for people to see. We had creative freedom over the project, and it was … Continue reading “Yes, Please”
Yes, this is still titled Grati-“Tuesday” even though it’s Wednesday, because these are all of the things I was grateful for yesterday, and am still grateful for today. Yesterday was a hard stinkin’ day. Mostly because I’m a girl, and once a month—like clockwork—my body decides to make me have a complete meltdown. I will admit that it was hard … Continue reading “Grati-Tuesday”
