    Motherhood: Weekend Recap, Valentine’s Week // Week 06

    February 5, 2018

    Today, we’re kicking off a week  full of all sorts of Valentine’s Day series content that we’ve been working on behind the scenes. We’ve got content from where to buy flowers for your Valentine (local readers), to accessories and gift inspiration/ideas, to coupon codes, to an all pink inspired outfit perfect for a casual date night out or in. To get started, I’d like to share our mommy and me Valentine’s Day Pink Obsession styling+play session from a couple of weeks ago. Like most of my creative projects that I create/style, it started with an inspiration –the scarf you see on Little A, and from there it just took on…

    #BTS: Styled dinner at 48 Fields

    May 3, 2016

    Two weeks ago, I joined a few of my creative friends at 48 Fields, a Northern Virginia wedding venue nestled in Leesburg just a few minutes outside of the city. And last week, I shared some of the photos from the venue / event (Sunday Styled Dinner at 48 Fields), but I wanted to share the rest of the behind the scenes snaps so you can get the full experience. {Now, I did take some photos on my pro camera, which I am yet to edit and post, but no need to wait until then.} I will definitely be editing it soon… Below are some of the behind the scenes…

    behind the lens: wedding photographer Jof Panlaqui

    February 17, 2016

    You know that feeling of dropping off your film at the print shop and you start counting down the minute until the hour you have to pick up your photos? Yup, that’s the feeling I’ve had for a few weeks now waiting for the pictures from the styled shoot to come back. A few weeks ago, I had such a pleasure of working with some amazing photographers on a winter styled shoot in the snow. I shared all the behind the scenes action with you here on the blog. {click here to read full post on #BTS action from the shoot!} See photos from each photographer from the shoot:  Brittany Drosos…

    #BTS Wedding styled shoot

    February 2, 2016

    This past weekend, mild winter weather, snow-capped lake (thanks to winter storm Jonas), naked trees, and frozen lake at Burke Lake Park provided the perfect ethereal backdrop for a few creatives to get together for a fun wedding styled shoot in the snow.

Instagram post 2193328297940063406_1807745921 Two of my favorite words: weekend and wine! Wine lovers rejoice, weekend's here! 🍷🍷🍷 Happy weekend loves! Xo

#alwayscreatingblog #fridayfeeling #winelover #wineoclock #winetime
Instagram post 2192957678861940507_1807745921 Happy Friday babes!💕 If you need me I'll be buried in receipts HAHAHA

No, seriously though, end of the year closeout for entrepreneurs is not fun but so necessary. I'm trying to get organized for tax season. My accountant is amazing and I love her, but she's very organized and requires things in order!

It sounds boring, I know, but #adulting amirite?

See you all at happy hour aka wine o'clock! 5pm right here! HAHAHA I crack myself up! #friday #tgif #entrepreneurlife #bof #businesofblogging
Instagram post 2192416043740677918_1807745921 Me looking at 2020 like...💥 Did you know that Mark Twain was not only an American writer, he was also a 
humorist, entrepreneur, publisher, and lecturer, according to his Wiki page so the next time someone tells you, you have to focus on one thing or stay on one lane, tell them to f**k off then do as many things as you damn well please!

Step out of your comfort zone, take a leap of faith, take a chance on YOU! I promise you won't regret it!

Are you ready to take a leap in 2020? Let's goooooooo #thursdaymotivation #2020 #gritandgrace
Instagram post 2191651307340043834_1807745921 ❤🧡💛💚💙💜 Dried pink peonies, blush garden roses, ivory garden roses I refuse to throw aaway. I meaaannnn can you blame me?

I haven't sushi in a while... #randomthoughts // who else suffers from a severe case of random thoughts about food mid sentence or in a meeting, or talking on the phone, or writing this caption and now I want french fries.

What was I saying?

Definitely feeling this look! I recommend dressing outside your regular box because #yolo! I'm a quirky dresser, I let my emotions pick my outfit! <Emotional dressing = confident dressing! // be yourself kid, always and forever and remember to be kind!> #kindnesstribe

speaking of blog life, i drafted three blog posts that i will hopefully be sharing soon. come 2020 my goal for www.AlwaysCreatingBlog.com is to share most of my contents/musings/life/happenings/etc. on the blog, you know, like the old days. it's time to refocus on blogging passion.

now i'm off to a holiday party for my creative collective Hunt Country group (@huntcountryva) where i'm honored to have been serving as Website Committee Chair for a few months now. hey, I have to use all those years as a tech nerd somehow and if it means volunteering to help others market their local small businesses, so be it, sign me up!

alright kids, remember to be kind! we gotta keep our kindness tribe going strong

p.s. it's #givingtuesday. head on over to @alwayscreatingstudio, check-out the last post to see how you can #giveback, because #charitybeginsathome and every little bit counts!

Had the Mondayest Monday everrrrr // swipe for the battle.... the battle to get into work mode today was REAL. Butttt I was in my coziest of cozy blanket shawl & pink faux fur!

My only question is will Tuesday come for me?! I'm ready!

It's wine o'clock! Oh wait, it was. #goodnight #winelover #monday
Instagram post 2190053389176849797_1807745921 Did you know there are multiple ways to get home?

Think about it. Think about where you live, think about where your house is, and think about how many different ways you can get home should there be an accident or construction and your usual route is closed.

There's always another way to get home. There's always a detour. 
That's the same thing with life. There are multiple ways to go through life. So many in fact that there is not one perfect way to go through life. The only way to go through life that guarantees happiness, true happiness is by way of being kind to other people and yourself.

These are words that flow through my mind when I'm driving (I've so much more, they come out of nowhere). Thanks to my talk to text phone feature for always being there for me. I swear, it's the little things! #alwayscreatingblog 
Happy Monday! #monday #mondaylook #redcoat #vintage #casualstyle #wordabyglor
Instagram post 2189592623491321455_1807745921 It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas around here and I'm not mad about it!

We have our tree up (Little A hung up most of the ornaments, which I loved watching her do w/a glass of wine in hand, naturally) #motherhood #holidayseason

Swipe left to see our tree, watch our tree lighting (hahaha) and see what we're up to today, mostly snuggling and the pups totally are all about it! #sundayisforsnuggling

Side note: Modern Love on @amazonprimevideo is freaking amazing and you should totally watch it! I laughed, cried, laughed again and it's one of the best series I've seen in a long time! So good! Have you seen it?
