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

When You Take Some Hits Creatively

Erin Condren Luxe Quote Clutch and Enamel Pins Review
I fell in love with Erin Condren because of their planners, but stay for the constant new products they produce. Recently they launched a line of enamel pins and a designer clutch. Once my heart eyed emoji face went back to normal, I quickly scooped up every single...
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...
