Isn't it ironic, we spend so much time waiting to leave the nest, only to crave the comfort and familiarity it brings in our lives? Flashback 10 years ago, and you would've met an impatient yet eager young girl who was ready to chase big dreams and follow her heart. But once my dream chasing began, I realized that though my heart pulled me in one direction, I always had my gaze directed back to where it all began. To the place where I first dared to dream, hope and love.To the the moments I endured and enjoyed that defined my character. It can all be narrowed down to one word...home. Spokane, WA is many things but the best way to describe my hometown is, Gezellig. (Adj) Meaning, cozy, inviting and comfortable; connoting time spent with loved ones or togetherness after a long separation.
A PNW girl always stays true to her roots. So even though I spent 6 years in Idaho and 3 years in Utah, my heart will always be close to home. I'm absolutely loving my @tinylumber wooden bar necklace! I customized it to create the coordinates of the house I grew up in, and i've gotta say I get so many compliments when I wear it! Even though I am a busy Mother + Barrebabe + Wife with my own life and home here in Utah... it's nice to have a piece of WA close to my heart now and forever more.

“I used to dream about escaping my ordinary life, but my life was never ordinary. I had simply failed to notice how extraordinary it was. Likewise, I never imagined that home might be something I would miss.”-Ransom Riggs 📖
