I am proud to be a 3M-sponsored blogger. Opinions are my own and additional products used in the project were selected by me. It’s hard to believe that in a matter of weeks we’ll be packing away the shorts and t-shirts and pulling out the pull-overs and scarves. It may be gorgeous, sun-shiny, late…

Grand Teton National Park #WW
It has been 2 months now since our cross-country trek from Maryland to Utah (it’s hard to believe it has been that long!) and I am STILL going through photos from our trip for the first time. The beauty and majesty of the Tetons are almost indescribable. I had to hold myself back from…

Seven Peaks Water Park Fun #WW
One of our favorite spots this summer was the water park a block away from my parent’s house. We had so much fun there! I don’t have many pictures because I didn’t bring my camera along, but I wanted to make sure to “memorialize” our time there anyway. And now I’m missing summer… Until…
