    Well, now that it’s not 90 degrees, I think we can actually talk about fall. There’s something really exciting about the start of a new season. Here are the things I’m looking forward to this fall. 1. Matte nails were a huge look for fall, and I can’t wait to try them out. 2. Doing…

    It is nearly impossible to take photos of Ellie now. She’s at that always moving phase. Here she is in action looking a little sassy.

    As most of you are aware, I had a baby last summer. Between that, my lazy approach to gardening and a complete drought, I scorched a lot of plants. I haven’t had a really successful vegetable garden in years, but each spring, I approach it with plenty of optimism and hope. This year is no…
