WELCOME

This blog has been around in one form or another since 2010. It’s an amalgamation of who I was, who I am, and who I’m hoping to be. Sometimes it’s about beauty products. Other times (most of the time) it’s about planning. Occasionally there’s business stuff and even rarer board game content.

So thanks for stopping by, reading somthing long-form in a world of fast information, and hanging out with me on my slice of the internet.

Sincerely,

Kayla

 

it's me

A Weekend in the City

Over the weekend the inlaws came to visit us in Grand Rapids, Michigan. They've been to our home a few times, but we haven't really had the opportunity to show them just why we love our city so much. Although the weather was pretty mediocre, we dodged the rain and...

A Poke Around My Office

Although I spend a good amount of my day bed-desking it up in our almost completed guest bedroom, I do have an actual office I work in from time to time. It's a great place away from the goings on of the house, tucked away upstairs as the only room. It's definitely a...
