let it be

This year's resolution…. to not make resolutions.

lame, i know… but hear me out.

In the past I let my resolutions be reminders about all the things I was BAD at, a nagging list of my failures: cooking, working out, photography, eating healthy, writing thank you letters, washing my face, organizing, picking up the dang phone to call friends… the list goes on and on.

I already have a TON on my plate for 2014 - graduating, finding a new job, surviving teacher training, getting married, lots of travel… all mostly exciting things, but things that are sure to keep me plenty busy nonetheless.

So this year, I am making a conscious effort to just be the best me. The best fiancé/wife, the best teacher, the best daughter/sister, the best friend that I can be… without letting resolution obligations get in the way.

I do have some new "mindsets" that I can't wait to share with you… so stay tuned for that!

Dear Party Skirts,

Stop being so dang cute. Not only can I totally NOT afford you, but even if I could, I wouldn't even begin to be able to know which color to chose. And let's not even start on your Instagram account that is giving me major FOMO.

I'm just a girl, dreaming of twirling in a party skirt!
