Nine Must-Haves for Starting Out On Your Own
Now that summer is coming to a close and students are heading back to school, there is an entire population of young people who are about to embark on the scariest adventure of their lives: starting out on their own. This first step into adulthood can be quite overwhelming and somewhat intimidating. And let’s face, there is no manual. There are no books of how-to’s and what-to-expect’s that cover everything you need to know to prepare you for the obligations and responsibilities of what adulthood holds. So as a follow up to my Letter to Myself at 18 Years Old, I am going to share my own personal list of must-haves…

How To Make Your Diamond Shine
Diamond rings, more than any other jewelry, each have a unique story to tell. The heirloom diamond rings passed down from mother to daughter share a wealth of family stories. Newer, personally selected designer pieces are perfect for honoring our milestones or celebrating our successes. Engagement rings, of course, tell our love stories. So what story is your engagement ring telling the world these days? If your center diamond isn’t throwing fire and sparkle or if your wedding band has lost its luster, it may be time for a good cleaning and some tender care. Dullness and neglect is never a diamond’s best look. So, how to restore your certified…

A Letter to Myself at 18 Years Old & Link Up On the Edge #53
Recently, I was asked to participate in an initiative run by Earnest which focuses on encouraging and motivating recent high school and college graduates. It was suggested to me that this would be a great opportunity for me to reminisce about those years of life. It is interesting that this request came to me when it did as I am currently struggling with the concept of lost memories. I understand that memories fade with age, but it is also quite common for memories to be lost due to chemical reactions that occur in a Bipolar brain. If you are a regular follower of my blog, you know that I have…

The White Screen of Death During Moving Week!
My entire life is currently in boxes and we are slowly moving them across town to our new house. In the midst of the chaos, I discovered that my website was completely down…I was experiencing the WordPress White Screen of Death. But it is up and running again thanks to the BlueHost support team. However, I have to get back to moving and unpacking boxes so we are settled when the children arrive back home on Friday. Many thanks to Gramma and Pap for watching them all week. Additional thanks to Amy and Alex for picking the kids up in Pennsylvania and bringing them home. I absolutely hate moving and…

A Photo Journal of My Recent Trip to Los Angeles
*This is an extremely photo-heavy post. And quite long in general. Feel free to scroll as slowly or as quickly as you’d like! Or skip altogether.

After traveling all day last Sunday, I arrived home past midnight on Monday morning. I spent Monday catching up on collaborative blog posts that I had already committed to. Tuesday, I ran errands all day catching up on all of the other life things that had been neglected while I was away. And Wednesday night, an awful stomach bug…
