It has been a crazy few weeks and I have missed you all! There has been so much I have wanted to share but with long work days and a little traveling in between, it was difficult to show up. I started to feel bad every day that passed without writing because I continually promised myself I would post. This pressure started to get to me and blocked me from getting back into the swing of things. I had to remind myself that 8B was created as a place for inspiration and creativity with no rules. It has always been a “passion project” of mine and I don’t want it to ever be anything else! Have you ever put more pressure on yourself than needed? What have you done to overcome it?

With that said, let’s start this week off on a Wednesday {no rules} with a few of the items I have been wanting to share and that have made me smile these past few weeks! What has been inspiring you lately?
