Giveaways and pins

I have a love/hate relationship with Sundays. I love it because I love the weekend and relaxing. I hate it because I know tomorrow is Monday and there are only a set number of hours left until it's back to work. So, time to soak up what's left of it!

No Trend Obsession post today, but expect one next Sunday. Today I'm sharing some giveaways I'm dying to win and linking up for Sunday Social with my favorite pins.

If I don't get married on a beach, it needs to be in the country, and I will have this photo with my girls!

4. What is your favorite DIY/craft pin?

I love this simple DIY idea. You can turn any regular frame into a fancy dry erase board, just by putting some scrapbook paper or wrapping paper inside the frame. I have done this in my room and have it hanging next to my door so I can put any important TO-DO notes on it. Easy and cheap!

high five for friday (6) + #yolo

Happy Friday lovelies! Another week has flown by. Feeling good about life :)

This week's high five:

1. I had a great after school event with my grief group kiddos. We had a dinner with their families and did a balloon release to celebrate the time I have spent with them. My heart was so full of love and happiness! It was so great to hear from their families the positive impact I have made in their lives.

2. I've been feeling major love from my supervisor this week. I am so blessed to have a supportive supervisor who has really helped me to reach my fullest counseling potential.

3. I got a 97 on my group presentation in class this week! Holla! I was extremely nervous, as I usually am for presentations, but managed to pull off something spectacular with my peeps. Can't say I would do it again though.

4. I'm loving my tattoo. Here is a picture of it! Still working on the post about my experience getting it.

5. I've only got a few weeks left of graduate school! Most of my assignments are complete so therefore I'm having fun this weekend. #yolo

Guest post and a quick update

No post on my blog today, but I am guest posting for Sarah at Tucker Up. Thank you, Sarah for offering up this awesome opportunity. It's my first time! I am sharing some of my fitness tips and ideas.


Stay tuned later this week for a story about my tattoo! I went through with it last Friday. I could not be more pleased with it. Though I will admit the healing process is uncomfortable. Check out this photo of it on my Instagram. It looks blurry but that is because I cropped the original photo. The lines are very clean and it is really beautiful in person. I'm already thinking about my next one, though I don't plan on doing that anytime soon. Of course now I want to go to the beach and I will have to wait a week or two to do so.

I'm returning to the middle school from spring break today. Wish me luck!
