Small Life, Slow Life: When the Unthinkable Happens. (Also known as: How to Cope When Your World Just Exploded.)
It happens to all of us, sweetheart. And it very recently happened to me. Things are humming along fine, and then – bam. A blow to the head. Suckerpunch. You didn’t see it coming. You’re blind-sighted. Knocked out cold. Flat on your back. Everything you’d been planning, dissolved. Ruined. Lost. O-V-E-R. It’s not the first time … Continue reading

Small Life, Slow Life: Marimekko Pinboard DIY! {Photos}
I’ve been thinking so much about bulletin boards lately (as I shared in Small Life, Slow Life: A Kick of Creativity), so when my friend Elizabeth told me that Crate & Barrel was holding a free marimekko DIY pinboard event, I was totally in! A huge fan of the bright poppy print, I’ve long lusted … Continue reading
Small Life, Slow Life: Love What You Do, Take a Paycut, Photos & Links! (Whew!)
How was your week? Mine was jam-packed; I can’t even believe it’s Friday already! If I had it my way, I’d post in Small Life, Slow Life every day.
