Hello friends!
I had too many beautiful landscape shots from our vacation to fit into the last post, so today I’m going to share them on their own. Mountain views and rolling hills are one of my favorite things. All this scenery made me so happy, ah.
A lot of the pictures are taken out of car windows as we drove around, a few are from hikes we went on, and each is beautiful in its own way. Enjoy!

Sully and I took a week-long vacation in the mountains this February. It was super relaxing and we had lots of fun mini-adventures I wanted to share with you guys. Read on for mountain overlooks, the most charming bookstore, mysterious stone buildings, hotel crafts, and possibly the smallest church and largest pencil you’ll ever see.

My sister-in-law Sheridan recently turned 16 and had such a fun party to celebrate! I brought my camera along at her request and quite enjoyed getting black light pictures of the dancing and snacks and friends. Enjoy some of my favorite shots from the evening!
Hello friends!
A little while ago I shared a bunch of ideas for tasty packed lunches. Today I’m back with some yummy breakfast inspiration, from fun make-ahead meals to quick dishes you can add to your morning routine. Of course there’s always cereal or pop tarts, but if you want some more quality fuel for your day, check out the inspiration below. 🙂
Hello friends!
I have an art post for you today: a peek into the sketchbook I use for drawing portraits. I’m very slowly tackling the 100 Heads Challenge, which is basically a Pinterest board of people’s faces to draw. (Check out the original challenge video here for more details.) Drawing people is not my forte, so some of these pieces turned out… less than beautiful. :’D I’ve still found this challenge really useful for practicing my skills though. I’ve made it to 31 faces so far and thought this was a good time to show you what I’ve accomplished!
Enjoy my attempts at portraiture. 🙂
Hello friends!
IT FINALLY SNOWED! I haven’t seen even a flurry all winter until yesterday morning, when I opened the curtains and yelled for Sully to come look. Neither of us were expecting a white world. Sadly it snowed only a little and stuck around even less, but I managed to capture a few shots before it all melted.
Enjoy some snowy goodness from my backyard!

Hello friends!
Today I thought it would be fun to give you guys a glimpse into how I balance my work and homemaking. The problem is, I don’t have very set routines. I have two part time jobs with inconsistent schedules, meaning my day rarely actually looks like the one neatly laid out in this post. Isn’t that how it always goes though?
Regardless, I thought you might enjoy hearing how I fill my days as a newly married wife. If that sounds interesting, read on!
Hello friends!
This January has been unseasonably warm so I haven’t seen snow yet, but we have gotten a few morning frosts. I actually took these photos last month and have been waiting to share them. I had a lot of fun wandering around my parent’s farm and spotting little gems just waiting to be captured by a camera.
Enjoy this pretty, chilly photoshoot!
Hello friends!
Some of my favorite childhood memories involve packed lunches. During harvest, my dad and brothers often worked the field all day and into the night to get the crops in before bad weather – and that meant they didn’t come in for meals. My sisters and I would help Mom pack brown paper lunch bags and thermoses of tea or water, then drive through the bumpy stubble of the cornfields toward the tractors. There was something so special about eating a hot dog on an old blanket by the side of the field with my family.
These days I pack my husband a lunch almost every workday for him to eat on the road. No microwave, refrigerator, or break room means I have to get creative. If you need cold packed lunches for work or school, this post is for you!
