Sisterhood

My sister is home for spring break.  I was over at my parents house with the intention of sewing...but then this happened...

Candid.  Love it.

Lately I have really been trying hard to live in the moment.  I have been feeling a little adrift, so in an attempt to focus myself I just try to give my all to what is going on, who I am with, and what I am doing to ground myself.  It has really helped and given me a sense of clarity.  Plus I really love these pictures and my sister.

Good Night!

Nothing Up My Sleeve (Because It's All In my Purse)

I have gained a reputation of always carrying a large purse with me, in it everything and occasionally a kitchen sink.  In theory a purse is supposed to carry in it all the things I feel that I must have with me at all times.  So tonight I decided to take every single item out of my bag and document it for you here.  I hope you find this as enjoyable as I did.

105 Items, I wonder what that number and the items themselves say about me.  What I do know is that I feel prepared for almost any situation.  I have solved two car problems, countless headaches, and kept myself organized with what I carry around.  I feel that I need to carry this much with me because I have to be prepared.  Even though I am organized I am also extremely last minute.  When I inevitably leave the house without something I already have it with me. 
What do you always have with you?

Night!
