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. For the past five weeks, I kept going back to how things ended. When I considered crossing out everything I'd written since then and … Continue reading Two-Toned Subtlety
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!
Painting A Closet
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

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!

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
Another Monday
My camera hasn't been working properly which is why I haven't got photos of outfits or my bedroom progress for you and it's really frustrating me. So unfortunately, I do not have an outfit of the week for you. At the moment, my room is in disarray. My mattress is on the floor, my bed … Continue reading Another Monday
Right Turn
It's Sunday night and I'm alone in my room thinking about my worst fear: The Future. Well, my future, specifically. Okay, I have a confession to make. That first paragraph was written a long time ago and I saw it while going through my drafts looking for something to write about. But tonight is a … Continue reading Right Turn
