I love crafts, and Pinterest always has the best ideas! I can’t wait to have more free time this summer so I can try these projects. 🙂

These melted bead barrettes are adorable and perfect for spring! I’d make them in navy, red, white, and mint green.

I love these bright chevron canvases!

I’m in love with these precious felt bows.

This is a great way to display necklaces.

These jars are so pretty for makeup brushes and cosmetics.

Instagram (or other photo) magnets are a fun way to display photos.

Are there any projects on your “To DIY” list?

I love Chicago. It’s such a pretty city, especially in the wintertime.

I really enjoy being home, but I am excited to get back to school. This quarter I’ll be working as a research assistant at a lab on campus. The lab studies infant and toddler language acquisition, which I am so passionate about and excited to learn more about.

Speaking of school, I’ve been enjoying my new major so much. I didn’t know that college courses were supposed to be interesting until now. I work very hard, but I enjoy learning about communication science so much that it doesn’t feel like work. I have always liked caring for infants and toddlers, and now I’m on track to help them for a living? What could be better?! I’m so glad I took a risk and made this decision for myself.

Also, I’ve been trying to Instagram more. Follow me!
