I have mentally written out this post at least a dozen or so times in the past week, but it doesn't make sitting down and actually doing it any easier. To be blatantly honest, I have been going through some personal issues for the past month or so, and blogging has been too hard. A lot of things have been too hard. Blogging...

I am not entirely sure what happened, but I summered the hell out of June. This month has been full of bonfires in the backyard, pretty orchids blooming everywhere, loads of kale growing in the garden, sunglasses, comfy shoes, pretty sunsets, heaps of coffee, and lots of girly, summery outfits. Jen was sweet enough to bring me as her date to the Detroit...

Enough so for a few bonfires in the backyard, and shorts! Shorts sans tights, yo! It has also been a month of major change over here at House Gerard, Kyle got a new job at Whole...

Sorry about the lack of posting this year guys, but I have been super busy these past few weeks. Lots of weekends out with friends, cleaning projects, oh, and that work thing. I switched up my diet thanks to help from my friend Anne, and I have been more motivated to go to the gym, so I have been hitting up that place...

 Solar powered, pooping panda! I swear, my car does not look like it is owned by a 29 year old, it looks like a spoiled teenager owns it. Thanks to my bestie, I now have this little guy keeping me company while I drive.  I didn't get around to taking a lot of instagrams this weekend, I have just been so busy. Friday...

Whew! I cannot believe our vacation is already over, wahhhhh! Time flies when you're pigging out! The month of food, the staycation of food, food everything, forever.  Our Staycation started by going out with friends both Friday, and Saturday night, and even got a chance to see one of our favorite local bands, Stone Clover! We then spent all of Sunday at IKEA,...

One more weekend gone, but one more week until our staycation! Sorry, but not really. This past weekend turned out to be a lot more relaxing than I thought it would, cancelled plans do that, but I am more than fine with a lazy weekend.  Friday night we went to our friend Brian's birthday party, met some awesome people, and had some great...

October was such a rush, but this month is off to a wonderful start. Most people cringe at the fact that it gets darker sooner, and that the weather gets cooler, but I embrace it. Don't get me wrong, I love warm summer nights, sipping beers in the backyard, but sitting on the couch, wrapped in blankets, watching TV with Kyle and the...

I am sitting here editing about a million photos, and I just realized that I forgot to post yesterday, even though I totally meant to. Instead, here is a quick little recap of my Halloween costumes from yesterday! My friend Mariah and I decided to go as Daria and Jane from the cartoon, Daria. I love group costumes, and it was super easy...

Another weekend that has flown by! I can't believe how fast we are plowing through October already! I am still trying to take as much advantage of my favorite month as I can, the whole rest of this month is packed!  I knocked a few things off my October list though this weekend, and was an absolute blast. Friday night I finally got...

My instagram feed is becoming filled with everything autumn, and we haven't even hit the peak of the season here in Michigan! That is fine by me, I live for this time of year. We packed in a few fall activities over the weekend, but also took some time to relax for once.  Friday we headed out to M Brew in Ferndale to...

Weekend recap, a day late and a dollar short, I know. This weekend was super exhausting, because again, we tried to pack too much in. We will never learn.  Friday started out a bit hectic. We were late for critical mass, and having all kinds of issues with the bike rack on Kyle's car (it scraped up my car last time, so we...
