I was able to spend the most amazing weekend in Nashville at the Trades of Hope retreat and training called Empower. I roadtripped down with some other ladies! We stayed in Dundee, OH with one of the ladies’ brother-in-law’s in Amish country and picked another one up in the Cincinnati area on our way down. This trip was…. wow. It’s taken me all day to write up this post because of how many things I could talk about with this trip. I feel like it would be a really long

Happy Friday! If you’re following us on Instagram, you would have noticed by now that I’m in Nashville this weekend! I’m actually attending the Trades of Hope conference called Empower! I wanted to sneak this post in from our Tuesday night adventure over to our local county fair, especially since I was sporting some fair trade jewelry.

Still getting used to the whole “modeling in the middle of public spaces” thing, but people were walking by making comments that we must be famous. Haha, maybe they’ll come find our blog one

Our camper update for today is about the floor in the back room, which needed to be replaced where the bunkbeds had been. Again, Luke is going to be typing this one up since he was the one who did all of this work! I did my best to take pictures when I could.

This project created a lot of trash.

I pulled/cut out all of the water-damaged parts of the floor. Once I had it opened up, I realized that a puddle had accumulated beneath the floor. I cut slits in

It was a crazy weekend! We headed up to Norwich on Thursday night so we could get ready for the garage sale we were having at Luke’s parents’ house. We sold about $100 of just our stuff, and considering that we were probably going to just take it to a thrift store anyway, that’s a win! We were able to put that money toward a new futon that will be going into our camper! (With the help of his parents–thanks!) Can’t wait for it to get here this week!

The last

Happy Friday! We have been super busy this week preparing for our Garage Sale, so we haven’t had a lot of time! We know that we’re behind on a Camper Update that we mentioned, but we will have it up next week, we promise! Here’s a short Fair Trade Friday featuring what I wore on my 22nd birthday this past Wednesday! I spent the day on the Ithaca commons, and we had a chance to grab some shots while the sun shined for a couple minutes.

This bracelet and necklace were

We headed up to Belleville, NY this weekend, which is where Luke’s extended family lives. We were able to attend one of his cousin’s graduation party, and take some senior photos of her brother! This is probably one of the last trips we will be making up there before we make the big move South. Here are some pics of our weekend.

We met Luke’s family at Cracker Barrel on the way up. Luke got a campfire meal!

Luke saw this bag in the gift shop and we totally agree.

There’s a town

Welcome back to Fair Trade Friday! I think I’m gonna really like this series! Luke on the other hand… well, let’s just say he is a very patient photographer. 🙂

This week I’m coming at you with a bag, bracelet, and some earrings. This outfit features many of my favorite things– hats, bags, and pearls! Don’t know what Trades of Hope is? Start here!

I’m trying to do the “fashion blogger pose”, but it looks like I’m just being eaten by my ginormous hat. Funny story… I didn’t want to wear these

Welcome back to another update on our camper journey! We started getting some serious work done on the camper at this point. Remember that we knew about the water damage when we bought it, but didn’t know the complete extent of the damage and the repairs that would need done until we opened it all up! I’m not completely sure what all was done here, so I’m going to turn it over to Luke to explain everything that he did when my dad joined him for a day. I wasn’t

We headed out to Rochester this weekend to visit Luke’s aunt. If you’re following us on Instagram you saw a couple pics already, but here are some more!

We headed out to the farmer’s market in the morning just the two of us. It was a rainy morning so that was kind of a bummer, but we still have a fun time! I loved the little strip of shops on the side, they made it almost seem like you were on the set of a movie since they were kind of
