My blog has suffered some neglect, that much is true. Life has come at us from so many different directions lately {all good things!}; I have hardly been able to keep up with it all. Most days, I wake up and yearn for the next night's sleep. 

We have slowly outgrown the condo that we have come to know and love, so on Friday, we closed on our very first home. It has been overwhelmingly scary yet exciting at the same time. The feelings associated with growing up are funny and perplexing sometimes; especially when you don't handle change very well {me!}. If I could freeze certain aspects of my life and keep them that way forever, I probably would. That is obviously not what life is all about, though, so I'm trying to take it all in stride and move forward with faith. I suppose that's the best that any control freak can do. So, here's to the next chapter :)

Have a stupendous week, lovelies!

may day swap

Do you recall this post? Well, Dawn from Candidly Clyde did it again and beautifully orchestrated another swap dedicated to spring, childhood memories, traditions, and all lovers of the glorious season.

I was partnered with sweet Arielle from Humble Pie Vintage and darling Heather of A Hopeless Notebook. Heather mailed me the most thoughtful May Day package, which contained honey, planters, seeds, and too cute to boot peanut shaped erasers! {They look so real, two of the original four fell victim to my pup's pearly whites. Bad dog.}. To Arielle, I sent pressed/dried flowers inside of an old book.

I really had fun with this, Dawn. What a magnificent way to start spring and bring bloggers together! I think that I speak for all of us when I say, please keep these swaps going :)
