Declutter Your Space, Declutter Your Mind
We had a decent to do list this past weekend, and we actually got a good portion of it done. Not everything, mind you, but I'm always overly ambitious when it comes to what I want to get done.

A Surprise Pride & Prejudice Proposal (No, Not Mine)
The other day I came across one of the most awesome things I'd ever seen.
Keeping Anxiety From Holding Me Back

Don’t Mess With the Bulgarian Opposition Leader
Ain't nobody going to mess with the Bulgarian opposition leader.
