Right Now: Sunday

Working on not being MIA on this space.

Telling myself that it’s okay to post photos on Instagram even if they’re from two days ago and not so instant.

Pleased with how today’s run went and how much fun I had with it.

Reminding myself to be thankful that things are happening even if they aren’t going according to how I hope/wish/expect.

Proud of myself for having survived the day without taking a nap, despite the early morning.

Needing to figure out how to earn more moolah/survive with not having so much.

Studying + finishing assignments that are due.

Learning to be patient and stop worrying.

Taking things one day, one step at a time. Tomorrow will worry about itself.

Seriously itching to make paper things (oh, I miss this!)

I hope your week ahead is super duper! (:

P.S. I still remember those pictures I promised to post – coming soon!

This crazy busy life.

Life’s been busy, as evidenced by the lack of posts on this space.

But I’ve been learning to subtract things – like limiting how much time I spend on social media and updating this blog and stuff. It isn’t a matter of not wanting to; it’s only that I’m learning to make things add up where it really counts. I especially liked what this post had to say about simplifying when life gets too busy.

Still, busy is good and I’m not complaining one bit!

When life slows down a bit, I’ll get pictures up of paper things I’ve made lately. (Because I’ve really been meaning to.)
Check back soon!

Right now: Thursday

Hardly believing that it’s only one more day until the weekend (where did time go?).

Thinking that “A short run is better than no run at all.” because “The only workouts you regret are only the ones you don’t do.” (:

Getting used to this routine and being in school/study mode.

Loving homemade dinners by the sister <3

Still wishing I had more time to make paper things.

Needing to get stuff on the to-do list done.

Making myself hungry thinking about yummy desserts + food recipes I should try.

Currently liking the clean, white, minimalist look.

Deciding whether or not to get the Silhouette Cameo.

Reminding myself to SAVE. MONEY.

Wanting to try DIY projects and get things on the 21 list done.

Thankful for how not-so-stressful this week has been – so far.

I hope the rest of your week is fabulous.

Hello October

1 October 2012

October: Hoping to settle into routine. Working hard + playing hard. Embracing these last two months of 2012 and counting down the months to Christmas. Planning to make things on the 21 list happen. Running + enjoying life.

Hello, October. I think you’re looking to be pretty good.
And I’m excited about all the possibilities you’re going to bring.

xo.

Around here lately.

25 September 2012

Things have been busy around here, to say the least.

My table is in a mess. My mind is thinking about assignments and projects. I don’t seem to have enough time for all the things I want to do (think: Project Life, 21 recipes, DIY projects, random things on my to-do list etc. etc.)

But I’ve been working hard, really. And ~~trying~~ not being distracted by the unimportant things on the internet.

Life’s been good altogether and God is good.

I hope your week’s been super duper.

Collections / business cards

22 September 2012

While I don’t have a business that warrants me having business cards (not really anyway), I thoroughly enjoy pretty business cards. Makes me happy. And inspiring, definitely (:

I hope you enjoy them too!

Remember,

20 September 2012

While I have a million things running through my head right now, I think this sums everything up quite nicely:

Nice, deep breaths.
And trusting that God will work everything out somehow, whatever it is.

Only one more day until the weekend! (:
xoxo.

Dreams + work.

And with God’s help, work hard, I shall.

Because, “I’m not telling you its going to be easy, I’m telling you it’s going to be worth it.”

This is going to be busy good, I think (:
I’m sorta excited, looking forward.

Collections / organize

13 September 2012

Being organized makes me happy.

And while my organization tends to lean towards being more of an organized mess, I usually try to have a place for everything. Since I’ve been (sorta) cleaning out my room and haven’t done a collections post in awhile, I thought I’d start again and share some inspiring ways to get organized!
