Life Lately



Life lately has been filled with LOTS of blogging, 
a big belly, calligraphy, homegrown tomatoes, trips to the farmers market, 
bike rides, and of course a dog child. 

My design blog and business has been my #1 priority lately and thanks to you readers it is finally starting to take off! I really appreciate it! If you know of anyone who might like my blog or could use some design services please send them my way! 
My goal is to really be up and running by the time we are back and settled in Utah. 
I know this baby will throw a kink in things for a few months, but that's why I'm trying to get it started now before he comes. 

I've also been doing a lot of calligraphy lately if you haven't already noticed. I was asked to teach a calligraphy class at girls camp.

The last time I did calligraphy was in junior high. 

So... I decided I better go get some supplies and start teaching myself. I think Heavenly Father knew of the love I would have for it and that's why I was given this assignment at girls camp. I can't get enough of it! 
It has really become my new hobby. 

If you want to see more of the daily happenings around here go follow me on Instagram! 
I am private, but don't be shy, I would love to add you. I just hated all the spam I got when I tried having a public profile. 

***Also, don't forget to stop back on Monday for the giveaway!!!***

20 Weeks

I will be 20 weeks with baby #2 in just a couple of days. Baby boy #2 that is! Half way! I'm finally getting around to taking a picture of myself and writing down a little bit about this pregnancy.  It's definitely been different this time around both emotionally and physically.  Of course I have another child to attend to so I can't nap whenever I want, I felt more sick this time around and it lasted longer, and worst of all for me is the teenage acne I've developed.  I don't intend for this to be a sob story, but I've never been the girl that everyone says "You're so pretty" to and I've never been the skinny girl. But I have always had really great skin. To be honest, most of my confidence in my outward appearance is because I have my mom's skinny legs and I have clear skin and a natural tan. Well these days I literally cringe when I look in the mirror. I've NEVER had acne. I've always had the occasional breakout tha...

Another Week, Another Hike

My aunt, mom, and I headed up Holbrook Canyon last Saturday to take in more of Fall's goodness. This canyon is just above the Bountiful, Utah Temple. The last time I hiked it was ages ago, so I forgot about how long of a hike it is. I looked up the mileage online which said 8 miles up and back. Well I don't know if that's accurate or what because after we had gone what I swear was 4-5 miles, we still weren't to the top and had to turn around so we could make it back before dark. A lot of the trail is uphill and it's not a really easy hike, so maybe we were just making slower time and didn't go as far as I thought, but maybe next time we'll actually make it to the top. Even though we didn't make it, it was still worth the beautiful scenery. As we got toward the bottom as the sun was practically gone, the canyon was glowing from all the brilliant colored leaves. It was seriously magical, as cheesy as that sounds. It's a shaded hike, almos...
