What’s In My Journal?: Reference Pages

I am at home sick in bed desperately trying to catch up on Grey's Anatomy before the Season 13 Premiere tomorrow night (if you're wondering, I am on Episode 14 of Season 12... can I do it??). I drove all the way to work this morning and ended up driving home 2 hours later because …

Page Layout Tricks: Make Your Own Stencils

OH THE PAIN of the snapchat stories of people in my favorite bar, the instagrams of Creamery Ice Cream, the Facebook albums entitled ‘Round 3, …

I Went To Church

It was a day just like today. The sky was blue and the air was warm, and August was upon us, signaling the end of the summer. I got a call, I cried (we all did), and I asked, “why?” I haven’t been to church in awhile. Over these past couple years, I began questioning …
