Eclectic Little Life

Wow, it has been a hot minute! I said I was going to try to post every other day and that was a wee bit too ambitious. I think I am going to have to cut it back to once a week. I know, I know. You're crying. You're lost. You don't know what you'll do. It will be OK. I promise. But really though, I didn't want to try to post every other day if it was boring and I was just scraping for something to talk about. Also, it has been hard to sit down at all between work, getting settled in our new house, and a babe. So I will write one post a week that is interesting and not a lot of posts that are boring and mundane. Well, they'll probably be boring regardless. Not much is going on, ha. I will try to make it seem NOT boring though. This guy helps. I have been reading a ton lately. Reading used to be my favorite past time, then I didn't have the focus, now I'm working on building my focus back. It helps me get used to not constantly looking ...

This year instead of buying a fancy, expensive calendar I decided to try bullet journaling! So far I love it! Even though it can be a lot of work, I enjoy being creative with it. I'm going to try to give each month a theme and share my layouts each month. I'm still just a beginner so I'm still trying to figure out what I like and what pages I want. I find lots of inspiration on instagram, pinterest, and youtube. Since this was my first month, I also have a few pages in the beginning to use all year. I didn't know how this whole experience would go, or if I would like it so I haven't bought an official bullet journal yet. I just bought a grid-paper notebook, it works for now but the paper does bleed. Okay, enough boring stuff!  Hello August! This month's layout theme is lavender !  My first page is a year at a glance, I'm probably going to add important dates to remember on the side, but I'm not that far yet. A closer look: My...

Since my blog is still pretty fresh, I wanted to take this opportunity to tell you some fun things you may or may not know about little ol' me. **note: there are probably much more exciting fun facts about me that I couldn't think of. This was an incredibly hard list to make. Maybe I am not very fun. Maybe I am. You be the judge.  1. I love films. I have always loved movies, but I have to give Benjamin some credit. (Okay a lot of credit [okay maybe all the credit.].) Ever since we have been together he has really expanded my repertoire. He is the reason I have such an interest for movies now. Movies I never would have watched, or even heard about. I love showing people films I love, talking about moments in film that are breath-taking, and watching Oscar nominees and hoping my favorites win. I am definitely not an expert in all things movies like Benjamin is, but I love them nonetheless. I could talk about them for hours after watching, and I consider a...

So it has been a while since I last posted, I promised exciting news and I'm sure you're wondering what! I am so happy to finally say, we are home owners!  We still have quite a bit of moving to do, boxes to unpack, things to hang, but we're officially in! I am so excited and there are already so many spaces in our new house I love. It is so exciting and exhausting, but so worth it! Townes is loving it, and exploring every nook and cranny he can get into. His favorite activity so far is getting all the pots and pans out of the cabinet or running down the hallway.  I can't wait to share more of our home and life as we get settled in. We are slowly figuring out where everything goes, remembering where everything goes, and trying to save as much money as we can these first couple of months. We are so incredibly thankful for all our family and friends for helping us move everything as well as helping us get settled.  THANK YOU TO: Benjamin's pare...
