Royalty

"Can't say I'd say no to being Kate Middleton for a day or 10."-@AVeryLuckyGirl
I totally just quoted my own twitter account, but it's totally necessary. I adore Princess Kate and it was a very factual statement.  This is not a new fascination:
April 29, 2011
i'm literally watching history in the making. the wedding of kate and prince william. i'm freaking about it. i've been up all night thx to 2 3G chargers [boosts of caffeine available for Jamba smoothies] and 2 cups of coffee. i'm recording it on TLC and NBC and now i'm watching the preshow. i cant even begin to tell you how much i wish i was in london for this.
i started a tumblr and i've been frantically blogging about this wedding. i feel like this wedding is continuation of diana and charles' story finally getting a happily ever after. i'm obsessed with finding out what the dress looks like! me and megan hunter are going to be heytelling about it at 3 am. it's about 2:15 now.
THEY ARE MARRIED!
seriously almost cried. so precious. her dress is absolutely beautiful, it's a vneck with a full skirt and train. they kissed twice on the balony, sooo gorgeous. prince harry told wills "just wait til you see her" as she was coming down the aisle.
Yes, that is an excerpt (grammatical errors and all) from my actual journal. I don't capitalize letters when I casually hand write; it could be a problem. The point is that most little girls don't outgrow the royalty bug. I shamelessly bought the special edition magazines for one of the most iconic weddings in world history. I paused the TV without hesitation to TAKE PICTURES of the moments that are STILL permanently etched on the memory of the DVR.

 Kate Middleton epitomizes class. Which is why this Tumblr account is so fantastically hysterical. Please, enjoy these tidbits.
Princess Kate wouldn't be caught dead saying any of the above statements in anything but jest (...although she was caught sunbathing topless...), but even though I (and most of the rest of world) think she is perfect, she still went through puberty.
Unfortunately, she has the money and the power to make sure that most of her unflattering pictures stay off of the Internet. This is legitimately the only nongorgeous picture I could rustle up out of the depths of the Interwebs.

 So Kate, how YOU doin'? Hook A Very Lucky Girl up with your job? Or just your closet?

Selfies. Selfies EVERYWHERE.

judge away. Circa 11th grade Consider this an intervention. Trust me, I've had my fair share of selfies. But then I graduated high school. high school shopping swag These are some hard and fast rules of those pesky self-absorbed images: 1. Try to have another person in it. I have zero judgement for the visible arm holding out the photography device if there are two faces in the frame. Sometimes you just don't have a third person to take that perfect picture. We forgive you. 2. If a partner is unavailable then at least use a webcam and NOT a mirror. Myspace-esque photography ended at the same time as That's So Raven. And no one cares to see your current brand of toothpaste reclining on your bathroom counter.  3. Keep ALL clothes ON.  I cringe when I see those horrifyingly low slung shorts as people boast in their gym time. I'm proud of the mornings I spend running as well, but I'm not trying to plaster it across Facebook. Save it

A Penny for Your Sin

Image
I heard an analogy recently about sin that I wanted to share as a caution against judging others. I searched online for someone who could put it more eloquently than I, but my google search came up empty.  Imagine that every time you did something wrong, a penny was stacked against you. You lied, you cheated, you drank in excess. Those are pennies stacked against you. Then someone you know committed a more "grievous" sin, according to what some in the world may think. They partook in adultery or gave in to a harmful addiction. In our human minds, those sins deserve higher stacks of pennies. But in God's eyes, He looks down and just sees the fact you both have pennies stacked against you. He doesn't see the height of the stack the world sees. He only sees the one coin on top indicating your imperfection and need for redemeption that you share with the person who sinned "more."  Sin is not measured in degrees "None is righteous, no, not one.&qu

Braveheart: International Toddler Travel - Edinburgh

Image
WOW! Hi, friends! It's been nearly 4 years, one pandemic, and almost 2 whole babies since I last wrote a blog post. I'm not quite sure where I got the audacity to spend precious time on this when I have a newborn to prep for and a 2 year old to entertain, plus a husband and a full-time job, but here we are.  A re-introduction may be in order? The Powell family is now a family of 3, officially, with number 4 on the way. Avonlea arrived in December 2021, and her brother, Truett, should make his appearance in early 2024. I wanted to blog this trip specifically for a few reasons. We were invited to a destination family wedding in Scotland this fall, which gave me all the best feels obviously! It's been almost 10 years since I went on my study abroad journey in Dundee so this was the perfect excuse to go back and visit one of the many homes of my heart. I'm really, really proud of my kid and how well she did on this adventure - she's always been our tiny traveler and thi
