snow day

this past friday we were fortunate enough to be hit by a crazy snow storm that left our school closed. snow days are probably one of my favourite things. ever.

reasons why this weekend has been perfect so far

this weekend is perfect, and it's only saturday afternoon. after a couple stressful weeks this is honestly just what i needed.

i spent friday night with my youngest sister. going out for dinner, watching movies, reading magazines- having the best time. she is such an incredible little person at such a fun age. i can remember desperately wanting an older sibling around her age, wishing i could do "grown up things" and have someone to hang out with. so whenever i get the chance to do that with her i absolutely love it.

this afternoon was spent with my mom. shopping, chatting and grabbing tea and a cupcake from the cutest most delicious bakery i have ever been to. these couple of days makes me so thankful for the family that i have, and the time i get to spend with them.

love, liz

its been how long since the last outfit post?

a long time. but school has been crazy, i left my tripod at home up until now and i've been dealing with a mini crisis some refer to as the freshman fifteen. but alas, i have an outfit picture today. it's been raining for the last couple of days so i've basically been living in my hunters. and this sweater is quite possible the most comfortable thing i own. hope everyone has a fantastic weekend, i know i am. starting things off right watching the notebook with my sister.

love, liz

contentment: a state of happiness and satisfaction

why yes those are the same shoes and top that i wore last night.... maybe because they are my favourites.

well the new year is officially here! 

2012 was filled with some amazing memories and some difficult times, as it is with most years. 

there were some challenges. there was a lot of drama within my group of friends, and some relationships were broken. i lost relatives, some which were so unexpected. but there were also some amazing times. i was able to travel to england with my sister, which was honestly the most amazing and inspiring trip i've been on so far. i was also able to travel down south with my family and spend a week on the beach with them. finished high school! spent the summer hanging out with friends. also started university  which has been so wonderful. i've met some amazing friends, made some great memories. 

i'm so ready for 2013! my resolution for this year is to find contentment. contentment with myself, contentment with others. contentment is defined as a state of happiness and satisfaction, and that's all i really want. to be happy with myself, my life and those around me.
