In the past, the thought of public speaking used to make my stomach turn into knots. Most people find that surprising since I was a classroom teacher for 6 years. But we have to remember—I taught 5 and 6 year olds. It's a little different when it's a presentation in front of 1000 adults. Right? ...

I've always had a thing for graphic tees or embroidered knits. It adds an unexpected feel to your outfit or a touch of whimsey. Lingua Franca and Bella Freud are a few of my favorite designers for graphic knits, but they aren't the most budget-friendly. But when I saw this $50 version at LOFT, I knew I couldn't pass it up.

Which is why I'm so excited to kick-off this 'Lessons Learned from the Self-Employed' series! ...
We've been doing some spring cleaning this week. And after the work of getting the house back in order, I like to finish it by lighting a candle. I love candles around the home. Not only do they make the house smell nice, but they're often a nice decorative piece for a desk or coffee table. And today, I have a new favorite candle collection.

You guys know I have a major sweet tooth. And with Easter just around the corner, I could not pass up making these super easy (and yummy) Rice Krispie Nests. I've made these with Austin's family over the past few years and they are one of our favorite little traditions. ...
