WHAT I WORE | Shopping My Own Closet
After childbirth, cancer, and plenty of cookies, I moved my favorite clothes from my closet to storage, lest I look at them in longing, and feel like eating even more cookies after trying to squeeze myself into an old pair of shorts. It was sad. And it was taking its toll. But, guys…! I’m finally starting to feel like my old self again, and even fitting into my old shorts! Shopping my own closet is the best feeling. Donning these old shorts not only gives me something “new” to wear this Summer, but a little extra dose of confidence! Here’s to eating just one cookie, and fitting into that old dress hanging in the back of the closet!

Hiya! I haven’t been by for a while (I switched from blogspot to wordpress and haven’t fully updated my reader yet). Anyways–wanted to say it was nice to see this post. You are looking really well. Sending positive vibes from Canada!

Hi! I’m a first time reader, and really excited to find another NEOhio blogger :) I live in Cleveland, and after reading your about page, I can definitely relate. It’s really easy to take this little corner of the world for granted. Everyone belly-aches about Ohio, but after going away from it (I lived abroad for a year) and then coming back, you realize how truly blessed we are to live here. I look forward to reading more of your blog!
Btw, you look beautiful :)
