Did you know that February 17th was Random Acts of Kindness Day? Neither did I. Until this morning, when I received an automated text message from a company I subscribe to reminding me. Thank you, random arts and crafts supply store, for letting me know. I love random acts of kindness. (Who doesn’t?) I think [Continue Reading…]
Take Notes From 2 Year Olds
Working at church in Early Childhood, I spend all week preparing for Sunday mornings, when the campus is flooded with little smiles and sticky hands and tiny shoes. My heart melts as young families bustle through the doors, a bit overwhelmed and frazzled as they rush to check their kids in, get them to the [Continue Reading…]
…and sometimes it’s just joy.
Life doesn’t discriminate. It throws it all at us all. There will be sorrow. Disappointment. Anger. Resentment. Sometimes it’s what could have been or what was. It’s hurt, it’s pain, it’s knowing you’re wrong. It’s wishing to go back, it’s wishing to fast forward…. …and sometimes it’s just joy. I awoke this morning in a [Continue Reading…]
Happy Birthday To The Best
Dearest Angela, We are quite the unexpected pair. You with your long, wild hair, loud, contagious laugh, and bedroom without a proper floor for the clothes that pile on top of it. And me–always in a ponytail, calculated, more reserved. But somehow we both knew. On that January night when we decided to get to [Continue Reading…]
My Theme For 2014 & Why I’ve Been So Quiet
I know I haven’t posted in a while. I’ve been writing since I was a little girl. I have old journals filled with scribbled thoughts, dozens of files stored on floppy disks with short stories, poems, and made up writing worksheets that will never be read again, letters I’ll never send, the beginning chapters of [Continue Reading…]
2013 WAS AWESOME. (& a manifesto for 2014)
This year was awesome. I can’t say for sure that it was my favorite year of life to date, but I’d say it’s a super fierce competitor in the Blair’s Best Year of Life running. Here’s what went down this year: I graduated college. I was hired at my first full-time job. I moved to [Continue Reading…]
Getting Laid Off 6 Months Into My First Job Out Of College
This past Tuesday began like every other Tuesday for the past six months, except for a few extra steps in my morning routine thanks to my new ball of fur, Charley. I woke up, took Charley out, put on an outfit and makeup, straightened up the apartment, and checked my email before I headed out [Continue Reading…]
Looking Back On My 21st Year of Life…And Looking Forward To My 22nd!
I can’t believe that I’m already another year older. I’m even more surprised (albeit extremely relieved) that no one has made me sit awkwardly while they sing Happy Birthday to me yet…yet is the key word here…my friends know me…it will happen for the sake of my discomfort alone. This past year was the most [Continue Reading…]
Blair Blogs Ultimate Holiday Gift Guide 2013
Can you believe we’re already in December? So much has changed in the past year, yet it feels like I was just celebrating Christmas with my family a few days ago. The older I get, the faster time flies–seriously. Okay, okay. Enough with the “my how time flies” cliches. It’s the holiday season again, which [Continue Reading…]
Ikea Malm Dresser Hack (Makeover)
This is kind of embarrassing to tell you the truth. I’ve been talking about updating my bedroom since July, in this post. After that post, I wrote a few days later about my plans to buy an Ikea dresser and “hack it” (make it over). Then August came and went. Then September. Then October. Now, [Continue Reading…]
