• Perfect for meal organizing.
• Beautiful post.
• This sounds like fun.
• I needed this in the beginning of January.
• Still working on this.
• Trying these photo prompts.
• How adorable are these Valentine’s?

Are you ready for the weekend yet? I’m (surprisingly) ahead with school assignments this week so I daresay the weekend has arrived early for me, which is a good thing!

I’m looking forward to doing some fun things this weekend. Hope yours is as great xx.

Life is often full and busy. But I like to take time to enjoy some of my favorite things. So Friday Favorites is a weekly series where I share my favorite(s) for the week. Check out my other Friday Favorites here.

Flashback to the skies two weekends ago, which remind me of how I need to get out of the house more and enjoy views like this.

• Maybe I’ll do this someday.
• Trying to eat more healthy meals like this.
• These are super fun.
• Getting ready for travel this year.
• Digging denim.
• Gonna try this!

I didn’t always love Fridays, but they’re fast becoming a favorite this year. Now we’ll just have to see how long that actually lasts. Either way, I’m excited for today’s plans and a nice balance of rest and activities this weekend.

Have a good one, xx.

• Saying “yes” to more travel this year.

• Have you read this series yet? So good.
• Instant cameras are pretty cool.

Ahh, Friday, you’re finally here.

It doesn’t quite feel like Friday, though, as I settle into the routine of school again. And boy do I miss the holidays. That said, I’m glad to be busy with life in general again.

Happy Friday! Hope you have the best weekend xx.

Flashback to last week during family vacation and the last of Christmas decorations.

• Love what Olya and Laura are doing.
• Definitely finding a way to use these soon.
• This is totally hilarious in a really good way.
• Words for the New Year.
• I think I need to do this more this year.

So we made it to the end of the first full week of 2015! And I must say, I really like how this New Year is feeling already. While this week started out a little bit rough and I miss the relaxing holiday times, I’m optimistic about how the coming weeks will be like.

Plus, I’m definitely excited about my plans for this weekend, before I need to tune in to back-to-school mode.

Until then, happy Friday! Have a good one xx.

It’s been such an incredible journey writing for this blog, to say the least.

Especially this past year, I’ve loved watching the blog grow, and getting the opportunity to interact with all my readers (that’s you guys!). And through all the hours of writing and editing photos, this blog has definitely become one of my favorite parts of the year.

With today being the last Friday of 2014, I thought it would be fun to do a #flashbackfriday of sorts and look back on some of my favorite posts.

So in no particular order, here are my picks for ten posts that I especially enjoyed writing this year.

Enjoy!

1. I worked through the 22 list, which was an interesting journey.

2. Deciding to make 23 a year of lists has been exciting for my list-making self.

3. My go-to ways for inspiration helped me to get out of a creative rut.

4. I shared my open and honest thoughts about social media, which was a little scary but worth it!

5. I thoroughly enjoyed participating in an inspiration blog hop.

6. Every guest in the Creative Conversations series was so inspiring!

7. This is possibly my most favorite Get Messy art journal page this year, although I truly had so much fun with each and every page I created.

8. Documenting with Project Life was such a highlight. I particularly love the colors of week 15.

9. Celebrating three years of blogging was so exciting!

10. Embarking on a 30 day habit challenge was both fun and challenging at the same time. I’m definitely looking forward to another round next year.

What were your favorites in 2014?

I can’t wait to see what 2015 will bring for this blog. Happy Friday! xx.

• Get ready for 2015.
• De-stress.
• YES. This is my note to self.

• Beautifully written.

I’m finally on Christmas break and it’s such a relief having time to do non-school related things.

It’s kinda crazy realizing that Christmas is in less than one week and how quickly the year is coming to an end after that.

But I managed to score a number of gifts at one store and ended up finishing my Christmas shopping in one fell swoop last night, so I’m pretty pleased about that. Now I just need to wrap up (no pun intended) some last-minute Christmas gifts and preparations so I hope I make it in time!

Enjoy the last weekend before Christmas, friends! xx.

I’m excited for all that the coming weeks have in store as we countdown to Christmas! Have a cozy and happy weekend xx.
