An Unexpected Hiatus

Hi! Anyone still here? I know I barely have been lol. Going to do the typical influencer ramble post with a quick "wanted to pop on and say hey" chat. You know how it goes.

Saying Hey

Time sure does fly when you're taking a break. But I wanted to do a quick check-in just to say hey and chat with you guys! Also, side note, do you like my cool new hat? I took this photo today and thought it would be just dumb mysterious enough to go along with today's post.

My Week Away

This past week (+ a few days) has been a DOOZY. I mourn for the Krista who thought this past week would be a vacation. So here's a quick update of where I've been.

A Quick Life Update + Brain Dump

Today is going to be a bit of a brain dump, so just bear with me. This post is a little overdue, but I just haven't been able to write about all the things I want to say. Usually with posts like this, I think about the flow and concept and then land somewhere where it would all make sense, but I'm really all over the map and I think that's part of the issue in why it's taken so long to sit down and write this.

We Bought A Car!

We Bought A Car!

Well, technically we're leasing the car but you get the idea 😂. I wanted to share our car buying/leasing process, the cars we were looking at, and why we went with the 2021 Kia Telluride.

We Bought a House!

We Bought a House!

I am SO excited to share the big news with you guys!! We have been keeping this a secret for some time now, which has been one of the hardest things to do. But the cat is officially out of the bag and I can't wait to tell you more!

Third Time is Not Always the Charm: Our Home Buying Journey

Not going to lie to you, today's post was meant to be how we bought a house; a happy ending. But the end of this story isn't written just yet. There are a lot of chapters though so get readdyyyyy!

August at a Glance

Today's post is a little different. I wanted to share some photos on my phone from August. The month flew by, and I felt busy, but at the same time I feel like I didn't do anything. It was a good, but stressful month and I'm just kind of left like ehh ... what now? Anyone else feeling this way? Or maybe I'm just waiting around for inspiration to fall into my lap lol. Either way, I'll stop rambling and we'll get to the photos!!

Penny Linn Designs Needlepoint

Ah! I am excited and weirdly nervous to announce ... I'm launching a needlepoint store!

My Intentions for 2020

Admittedly I am not so great on new year resolutions. Knowing that I made some "half-year" resolutions for 2019 and I was 3 for 5 for personal and 2(ish) for 3 for the blog. Which isn't that bad but since it was only half a year and I never followed up on them, I'm not chalking it up as a win.

My Goals for July 2019

Looking back at my 2018 goals, I truly accomplished one lol. The beginning of the year was so good, I was so good. But by the time July rolled around I totally forgot about them and never seemed to look back. Oops! Should a goal for this year be to fix that?

My Mental Health, A Life Update And What's Next

This is really scary to post, but I thought you guys should know what's going on. You can watch the video below.

Quick Update + Cute Outfit

Hey guys! So sorry if it feels like I've only been half here for the past couple of weeks. Between traveling, unexpected stress, work, regular life and everything in between I've been a little out of sorts lately. So just wanted to give you guys a quick update of what's been going on over here.

My Goals for 2018

I know that goals and resolutions are kind of the same thing but I never like to say I'm setting new year resolutions because I feel like those are just set up to fail. Doing something for a full year is a really long time! So instead, I'm setting goals for myself.
