Whatever, cute hair totally made women’s denim colored stretch slacks acceptable in junior high. I have gotten [...]

Lazy Sunday: October 21st

October 21, 2012

The Art of Garage Sales

I feel like my personalities change with the seasons. Like, in the spring, Andy knows it’s time for Self-Reflective Brittany who wants to do things like try out a new religion or host an exchange student.

The Family Closet

June 19, 2012

This weekend I have been coping with weird feelings. Nesting feelings, if you will. Without the whole fetus mess, obviously.
