  • Time for a try not to

    June 25, 2015December 12, 2018

    Time for a try not to duplicate your content on other social media platforms…fail. Instagram: I have a love/hate relationship with you. But there’s just so many fun pics that I’ve loved sharing. Even if

  • Beach to Bed

    June 9, 2015December 12, 2018

    Our bedroom used to have the charm of my old college room. Well, without a Braveheart poster or leopard print sheets. (At least I’ve made progress in my wall art and bed linen selections.) Well,

    May 28, 2015December 12, 2018

    I’ve been slacking on writing about my pup, Kili, on here, which is odd because she is my four legged best friend and gives my heart permagrin. I even created an instagram tag for her

  • Four years. And some thoughts.

    December 11, 2014December 12, 2018

    Well, the blog officially turned four last week (I’ll take a moment to do the Carlton dance, or at least attempt to), and I am finally able to sit down and figure out how to

  • A year ago, a woman rescued

    September 8, 2014December 12, 2018

    A year ago, a woman rescued a dog, and that dog happened to have puppies the very next day, which my mom (thanks to God’s perfect timing) happened to find when they were almost 8

  • Ok, as much as I like

    July 6, 2014December 12, 2018

    Ok, as much as I like to diversify content, sometimes I just have some lovely l’il Instagram square moments I need to share here too.  So here we go. Left to right, top to bottom.

  • Every now and then, I am

    May 1, 2014December 12, 2018

    Every now and then, I am a stylish dog walker. So I happily documented the occasion. Kili cooperated as well. High five (and a paw.) Palmtastic Mint. pullover // Freewaters Slip-ons.

  • Things I’ve learned from my pup.

    Things I’ve learned from my pup.  Walks are awesome, and you should go on them as much as possible. Food is amazing, and something to get very excited about. It’s always good to keep on

  • Sorry if I haven’t been posting

    November 24, 2013December 12, 2018

    Sorry if I haven’t been posting quite as frequently over the past two weeks. I blame this little face, who clearly has my undivided attention (and rightfully so). 🙂

    October 31, 2013December 12, 2018

    A beach bum’s best friend. Today is my birthday, and I got one of the best presents imaginable. Meet Kili. She’s a lab/rottweiler mix, and is kinda the sweetest little rad thing ever.

    Here’s the last painting I did before I packed up Here’s the last painting I did before I packed up my office…and I haven’t touched a brush since. Feels weird, but the break helped get lots of ideas brewin’ now, too. 🎨🧡 Life’s a beach. Embrace the mess and get the tattoo. #goldfishkissart #watercolor #radart

    Well, in life update news, we moved to Michigan. T Well, in life update news, we moved to Michigan. Two days after saying goodbye to Kili, I said bye to beach life, felt like a chapter of life I loved was slammed shut, and all the air and motivation was knocked out of me. Changes like this take time, and the idea of ever being truly settled in is a bit foreign to me. But, you just have to look for the little glimmers in ordinary days (what’s in all these pics), be present, get out and about, and choose joy while also giving those tears permission to flow. Ok, and say hi to every dog I can, while holding onto summer as long as I can, too. But I hear Fall is next level up here. 🧡

So, if you’ve been following me for a while, life’s taken us many places. I feel like I’m part chameleon and part lone wolf by now, and we will see what this new season brings. I have a feeling Lake Michigan and the upper peninsula will be my happy place, so hopefully we’ll make it out there a bunch. Life’s crazy. Wear a helmet and thank goodness for Facebook marketplace. And that I didn’t give away all my cold weather gear.
    Well, I had to say goodbye to my best four-legged Well, I had to say goodbye to my best four-legged friend, then to life at the beach in a matter of a few days. Life’s been heavy, full of random ugly cries, a bit of a blur, and my brain fog is at capacity, all while having one too many tabs open, too.

But I did manage to scribble down some journal thoughts before the move, and wanted to share. I love these things.

I’ll post a bunch of final beach pics and about life in our new location soon. But for now, I’m just taking it one day at a time.

Or in this case, page. Hope they’re somewhat legible. 🌊❤️‍🩹🖊️ #goldfishkisswriting #thoughts
    How do you sum up an incredible life in few slides How do you sum up an incredible life in few slides and words…I can’t. This loss is such a deep hurt, and the love is so pure. Kili pup, I miss you, and my heart is so damn heavy. Run wild, run free, soak up the sun, steal all the pizza, and find all the sticks and tennis balls, my best four legged friend. ❤️‍🩹🐾
