Dear Pinterest, It was destiny when we met. I was bored at work one sunny afternoon, and Facebook just wasn’t cutting it. I needed something to pass the time. And you were there. A friend on twitter sent me an invitation to meet with you, I accepted. Once I logged in, I felt an instant...

We painted our dining room. Then Jake got the flu. Those two things are probably not related. I’m sure investing in an apartment we don’t own isn’t that smart. But I refuse to look at ugly walls. Plus, our landlord reimburses us for a lot of the work we do. I wanted to do something...

Hi I’m Laurel. (hi laurel…) I’m an Emotional Eater. (support applause) This was right before we ate at our friend’s wedding.. I was hungry. I don’t know when and I don’t know how, but a long time a go I learned to eat my feelings. Whenever I get mad, sad, happy, or any other emotion...

I usually make new years resolutions every year even though I know that I will fail within the first week of attempting them. But this year, I’m trying something new. I’m making goals. I’ll bet this sounds pretty familiar to Michelle Mason Fitness, mostly because her post inspired me to change how I thought about...

In life, it’s important to know your limits. Sometimes you try to push yourself and create new limits and other times you just let it alone. When Jake told me he was going to join the military, I had a gut reaction, “No freaking way! I always promised myself I would never put myself through...

November has been a crazy month, or Cray-cray as Girl to Mom would put it. Jake and I are getting settled into our new home, which has proven to be very interesting. I’ve had roommates in the past and lived with two brothers my whole teenage life. But living with Jake is a COMPLETELY different...

Here’s the update, part 1. Halloween, a time of candy corn, alcohol, and tears… oh yeah… I moved back to Erie while all of this was happening. My life was already feeling as though it was bad on track. All of my stuff was moved in to our new home and Jake had gone to...

Hey guys! Long time no talk… let me update you up quickly. Then I’ll elaborate more later. I moved to Erie, Pa. Back home… and it’s wonderful. I’m home with everyone (almost everyone) I love. And I am Thankful. Halloween was shitty, as it always is. Even though it’s my favorite holiday, somehow we always...

Which side of the line in the sand do you stand on? Right now, I am definitively on the far right. I love print design. You can hold it in your hands, put it in your portfolio, and feel the rich paper texture between your fingers. There is something classic and romantic about print design. When you...

As I’m sure you can tell from the title, I’ve started to finally dig deep into Mad Men. If you don’t know what Mad Men is then you live under a rock or in outer space. Either way… get with the times people! Here are the top ten reasons I’m glad I don’t live in...
