Knitted Lovlies
Fall and Winter (in Michigan at least) is a time for knitting. I love just snuggling up under a blanket, watching endless Netflix, and knitting and crocheting the day away. So since I started working at Joann's I've gotten really good deals on yarn. I've decided to start making small knitted things and selling them! Why not? Here are a few things I've made in the last few months. I've mostly been making headbands and some simpler scarves. Let me know if I can make you one!

DIY Beach Jar
My friend has a beautifully decorated, beach-themed basement and what better to give her for her birthday than a decoration to add to her space. I found this tutorial on Pinterest and souped it up a bit to make it my own. Definitely check out that mini tutorial and I will show you what I used as well.

Guatemala
Hello from Panajachel! I am here in Guatemala on a two week vacation spending some time with family :)
It's been so relaxing and I've been so blessed by everyone around me. I've been here a little over a week now and dread the day I have to go. I love the way of life here and wish people in America would adapt to some of the traditions and tranquility of this country. I know we cannot lie in a hammock everyday (as I am now haha) but I wish we could make things more simple and love more and cherish everything.
Here's just a preview of some of the many pictures I have taken so far:

More Organizing
I organized my bathroom cabinet finally. I also started to clean out my closet but that's not quite finished so I won't post pictures quite yet. Also I am horrible at remembering to take "before" so I apologize in advance haha. These before and after pictures may not look like a lot but I threw away a bunch of stuff and condensed things in a more orderly fashion. I have my "counter space" back too which is lovely. So here they are:

Organizing the Pantry
I am not the most organized person I know but I would like to become a little better at it. Organizing keeps my mind less cluttered and it's way easier to find things (who knew??). So I set off on the task of organizing my pantry which took a lot more work than I thought it would. I researched many organizing tips, pictures, and blogs to be sure I had everything I needed to prepare myself. I bought some bins to store things and fabric to cover boxes to make things all coordinated. And then I began the actual organizing...
Here's a before shot:

New year
Hello there blogosphere and happy new year. I'm having a hard time choosing a New Years resolution just because whenever I say I will lose weight it never happens and in don't think I necessarily need to this year. So I'm trying to think of a better New Years resolution because I just want to be a better person this year. God has given me this year to live and I want to live it with purpose.
