Classic Gold Stud & Hoop Earrings
This post contains Amazon affiliate links. For everyday wear, I've been wanting a few pair of classic earrings that I can put on nearly every day, no matter what outfit I have on. I wanted the earrings to be gold ones, too, since my ears tend to be sensitive to earrings that aren't gold. So recently, I got three pairs of gold earrings from Aurate, classic stud earrings and some hoops—a pair of 14K gold-ball earrings, a pair of white-gold ones, and some skinny gold huggie earrings. The earrings are quite beautiful and well-made—I'm very happy with my choices! Together, my Continue reading...

Big Changes in My Life Since my Empty Nest
My twins both started college this fall. Coming home to an empty house after my husband and I dropped both of them off was hard. I found that I was weepy on and off for at least the first week or two. I still miss them now, but I have been doing a lot better. A big reason why things have improved is that I have a new job! So exciting. I am working as a content writer for a media company. My job keeps me very busy but I have been having a lot of fun. I also find that I have less time to think about how much I miss my kids. I always planned to go back to work full-time again once my Continue reading...
