  • Wake Me Uppers

    September 12, 2018December 12, 2018

    Fatigue is just a part of life it seems. I’d like to think lack of sleep is the main culprit, but screen time, the groundhog parts of life, sitting, strolling, driving, working. It all just

  • High noon = A stellar time

    September 10, 2018December 12, 2018

    High noon = A stellar time to close your eyes, take a deep breath, listen to the sun dance to a warm breeze, and wait for any worries to take a hike. Then carry that feeling with you

    September 7, 2018December 12, 2018

    Oh beauty products. I love them. I love testing ‘em out and how certain ones help me not look like Gollum or feel a handbag. There’s just so much stuff out there, it’s mind blowing

    I really was hoping my brain would churn out something witty, sarcastic and funny, but yeah. Not happening. So here you go – a friendly l’il PSA reminder that there is beauty in every day. Making

  • I decided to take the whole

    August 29, 2018December 12, 2018

    I decided to take the whole shell painting thing quite literally.  Turns out the porous and chalky looking shells absorb watercolors really well. So, I grabbed a brush, some paint, and water, then messed around with

  • Pastel Times

    August 28, 2018December 12, 2018

    We went to the beach around sunset the other day, and I swear life felt like a box of pastels. Everything looked soft, felt soft, and I swear even the wind and waves were extra

  • Dressed up Knot

    August 26, 2018December 12, 2018

    Scrunchies made a comeback. As much as I’d like to say I’m a fan of this reincarnation of my childhood hair adornments. I just can’t go all in on the trend. Except for this one.

    I finally found some time to paint my toes again. Go figure it turned out to be another tropical print. What’s new about these piggies, is that they’re nekked. As in it’s just a base coat with

    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. ❤️‍🩹🐾
