Chelsea Lately
With all of the sponsored posts happening last week (it was a blast but I'm a little wiped out from producing so much content), I figured you guys might appreciate a more intentional catch-up for this space. So much has been going on recently and those of you who aren't following me on Instagram may not know that Mr. Jackon and I are finally engaged! After almost seven years (half of them spent referring to him as either my husband or fiance to prying old ladies or when it felt like "girlfriend" wasn't quite the right word), a beautiful and crazy (see above) little girl and a thousand little moments that convinced me he was the one, I couldn't be happier to take this step with this amazing man. This space won't be turning into a wedding blog (for sure) but I'd love to know if you're interested in occasionally following along this journey with us!
Aside from finding the accessory I've been in search of my whole life, I'm still hard at work homeschooling Lorelai, preparing to open a new studio space, knee-deep in an exciting project with my sweetest friends and reveling in my favorite time of the year. This quote seems more than appropriate lately...
“Never apologize for burning too brightly or collapsing into yourself every night. That is how galaxies are made. ”
I hate to gush but I have never been in a happier place in this life!

p.s. I've been toying with the idea of daily/weekly vlogging (video-blogging). Let me know, is that something you'd be interested in watching?!
