I will forever be grateful that a naive, ignorant, bored Indiana girl decided to give this whole blogging thing a try eight years ago. I will never forget wandering to our desktop computer sitting atop an old desk in our guest bedroom turned office turned guest bedroom and curiously typing www.blogspot.com into my web browser…

On Pursuing Your Passions [Or Something Like That]
Recently I’ve been thinking a lot about what it looks like to pursue our passions and what that term really means. Sometimes, okay most of the time, I’m convinced I don’t even have passions. Have you ever asked yourself what are you truly passionate about? It can actually an uncomfortable and awkward question to ask…
Team LIY // Meet The Ladies Behind The Brand
With so many new faces around here [both you the audience and here with the team] we thought it would be fun to formally introduce to you the ladies who we call Team LIY. It is absolutely crazy to me to think that up until just one year ago on January 1, 2017, it was…
The Pros and Cons Of Living Your Life Online
I’ve been wanting to write this post for awhile now as different thoughts have been swirling around my head about this whole “living your life online” thing. I have officially been blogging full-time for over 4 months now [although if we’re being honest, the past six years have felt pretty full time themselves]. I think…
Life So Far As a Full-Time Blogger
I am officially four weeks into this whole working for myself thing and a question a lot of people have been asking is “so how is it??!” Well, it’s everything really. Has it been all rainbows? No. Has it felt like the best thing ever occasionally? Absolutely. Has it been a hard transition? To put…
The Day I Decided To Be A Blogger
top [wearing in small/medium, 15% off, cami underneath included!] Today marks my first official Monday of being unemployed, a crazy sentence to write after working outside of the home for essentially the past half of my life. A little crazier because not working outside of the home has never been a goal of mine. For…
The Power of Us
It all started a few months ago when I was starting to become overwhelmed in trying to balance it all. The thing was, I wasn’t really balancing anything at all. It was one of those things where you convince yourself for so long that it’s fine, you can handle it and then after time, you…
I Kinda Hate My Blog
In case you haven’t noticed, I have had the worst case of writer’s block for the last…oh, two years. Nothing like a little dry spell every once in awhile you know? The weird thing is I have so much I want to say, I just don’t take the time to say it anymore. I used…
The Top 5 Things That Have Helped Grow My Blog
I can’t believe that in just a few short weeks it will mark six years that I have been blogging. SIX. That’s longer than I have stuck with almost anything in my life [it’s actually a miracle my marriage is still in tact]. Back on February 1, 2011, I had absolutely no idea what I…
Blog Life [A Look Inside My Daily Routine]
In my recent quest to figure out what in the heck to write about on this blog, somebody suggested that I show what a typical “day in the life” looks for me. While I have done this once or twice before since starting this blog 5 years ago, my days now look much different than…
