Ever since I read The Help by Kathryn Stockett (and later watched the movie), I’ve wanted to try chocolate pie, like the one Minny bakes in the book. Not with the terrible awful–but the original, chocolate one sans, ahem, the added “ingredient.” Don’t know what I’m talking about? Read the book. Then watch the movie. [Continue Reading…]
Why Pinterest Won’t Rob Me
In many ways, Pinterest motivates me, to create and bake and try new things. In fact, I love the site and spend too too too much time scrolling…scrolling…scrolling… But unlike almost every other “pinning” girl, I do not have a fitness pinboard. Nope. No pinboard with crazy workouts and photos of ridiculously ripped and skinny girls doing [Continue Reading…]
One More Check On My College Bucketlist
For the past four weeks, I have been interning at Blue Ocean Ideas, a full-service marketing firm in my hometown. Today was my last day, and I am astounded at how much I have learned during my time there. Prior to beginning this experience, my goals were the following: And while I am no expert, [Continue Reading…]

Now’s the time! If you haven’t ordered your Fall textbooks yet, get on it! A lot of textbook websites are running promotions right now, and the prices are much lower than they will be in another month or two.

A Standard of Grace
This is one of my favorite quotes of all time. I created this image using a photo from my Paris trip. It turned out beautifully, I actually made it my desktop background. You can download it for yourself by clicking on the image, right-clicking, choosing “save as” and choosing a location. What beautiful words.
Soul Food Sunday: A Foundation Worth Building On
For one year, I chronicled seemingly small, but actually enormous moments of God’s beauty over at The [in]Significant Things. Things like the way steam from pasta feels on my face or carrying groceries in the rain or flipping a bag of jelly beans around. I loved writing about the Lord’s goodness and presence in the mundane and [Continue Reading…]

Cool, right? Not only are these beautiful little nuggets of color perfect for a wide variety of occasions, they are super yummy too! I made them the other day with my cousin Claire, who is a very photogenic baker. 🙂 Maybe we’ll open up a bakery one day…Blair & Claire…could be really cute! Anyway, here’s [Continue Reading…]
I Didn’t Want To Get Dressed
…when I used to look at the sad state of my drawers, that is. The lining was old (like way old, probably 50 years old), but I hadn’t changed it because it was always under my clothes, where I didn’t have to look at it. See? It’s not that bad. Until you take the clothes [Continue Reading…]
Welcome to Blair Blogs!
Wondering why I haven’t posted anything in a while? Take a look around (your computer screen, that is)–this is why! I’ve been busy purchasing a domain name, importing all my blog posts, and customizing the heck out of this site. All my hard work has paid off–I am now the owner of a website! How [Continue Reading…]
Put it in Your Trunk
This adorable donation bin, that is. I’m a big fan of giving away clothes and other gently used household items to Good Will. Typically, I make the trip to a donation center four or five times a year. The problem is, between these trips, I come across items that I’d like to donate, but don’t [Continue Reading…]
