For the long weekend, my dad went on a trip and my siblings stayed at my mom's house. I lost my phone and I had no car. Basically, I spent over 96 hours home alone except for my dog Foxy and a minnow my little brother caught at the lake last week. Sad, right? Thankfully, I'm … Continue reading 15 Things to Do When You’re Home Alone
Outfit of the Week: Nostalgia
This week, I've chosen to keep it simple. After all, what good is finding a cute outfit on a blog if it's not something you'll ever wear? I've been loving the 90s vibes that trends seem to be drifting towards in time for school to start again. A lot of trends, like tattoo chokers, overalls, and … Continue reading Outfit of the Week: Nostalgia

Two-Toned Subtlety
I thought I finished Book 3 back in the first week of June. I started the next book and everything, but something about the way it ended just didn't feel right.

Outfit of the Week: Simply Summery
My room is empty and covered in plastic, and I have very little control over the decorations in the rest of my house, so since I've been home for the summer, there was nowhere I felt comfortable taking pictures for Outfit of the Week. And then I found an alternative: my backyard! Here is my … Continue reading Outfit of the Week: Simply Summery
Treat Yo Self!
I've been watching entirely too much Parks and Recreation lately. (It's a good show. I highly recommend it.) Anyway, there's one episode where a couple of the characters take a day to treat themselves and throughout the episode they're telling each other to "Treat Yo Self!" That sounded great to me, so I decided to … Continue reading Treat Yo Self!

This is not a how-to article, so if that's what you're looking for I suggest you keep looking. If I'm honest, I've been putting off painting my room for one simple reason: it makes me nervous. What if it looks bad? What if I spill paint everywhere? Even today as I put primer over what used to … Continue reading Painting A Closet
Calgary Stampede!
So this is long overdue, but my dad took my siblings and me to the annual rodeo in town which you probably guessed from the title, is called the Calgary Stampede. If you've never heard of it, it happens in my hometown and goes for ten days every July. There are rides, games, and food … Continue reading Calgary Stampede!
Dessert Foods
I've been absent again. Many apologies, but I had my wisdom teeth out among other things and it's surprising how lazy you get when you're in pain. But while I've been stuck eating soup and applesauce, I've dreamt of better foods—foods I'll share with you today! Here are two easy recipes that work for a … Continue reading Dessert Foods
Lately In My Closet
The summer has been hot and sticky. And boring. I barely know what to write about anymore. But I thought I should at least catch you guys up on what's been going on. Remember the closet shelf I had before? With some help from my dad, we took that out. Whoever installed it did a … Continue reading Lately In My Closet
