Two Year Anniversary, A Journey Back in Time


Today is LiveSimplyKMM's 2nd Anniversary. It is crazy to think I've been blogging for two years now. This blog has only been public for probably a year, before that it was just for myself, friends, and family. But, then I decided it was time to join the blogosphere and break out of my shell. It…

Going Eco


The last couple of weeks I had managed to be really on top of keeping up with blogging and reading. However, things just got crazy busy this week! Sunday I moved into my new home, or should I say, apartment. This door mat from Urban Outfitters is adorable! 🙂 Being a college student, I like…

Bloglovin Bandwagon


Bonjour mes amis! Just a quick post to say that I have FINALLY claimed my blog on bloglovin. I know, I know, it's about time! If you are unfamiliar with the Bloglovin site, from what I understand (I'm still what you could call a "newb" at it), it is a website to help you follow…

Tried and True Pinterest Cooking/Baking Gems


I remember last year, sitting on the couch with M while trying to rack our brains about what we were going to eat for dinner. Such a mountainous question. One that has puzzled many a hungry person for ages. Or, perhaps, it is just a family thing. We NEVER can decide on where to eat…

Steinbeck on Love


While doing research for one of my posts, I came across a letter that John Steinbeck wrote to his son about falling in love, and love advice in general. It is funny how people are constantly searching for the "right" advice on things such as this, and I couldn't help but feel that Steinbeck put…

Summertime Dreams and Things


Even as a child, I always saw the importance of not taking a single moment for granted. Now, I cannot say I have always been able to practice it as precisely as I would like, but I have implemented things in my life that gently remind me when I lose sight of how precious each…

Long lost friends


Have you ever read a story and felt like you knew an intimate part of the author? In sharing their ideas and characters with us, authors build a bond of unspoken friendship. Just think about it, an author can spend years to a lifetime creating a character(s) whom readers will come to know more deeply…

A Journey with Shakespeare


Why, hellooooo there. I don't think I have ever gone on this long of a hiatus since I started my blog. I've been battling my perfectionism demons and my online summer classes ( seriously online and summer should never be in a sentence together, talk about horror!). Tomorrow I end my battle with these classes…

Finding the Good


I have to admit- I am absolutely horrible when it comes to staying updated. I spent the last year with no cable- just Netflix and Hulu- therefore, I have not been routinely checking the news. But, now that I am staying with my parents for the summer, I get to stay a little more in…

Writer’s Confidence Block


About a month ago I challenged myself to start trying new things- at least one thing once a week. I said I would post every week to keep everyone updated on all the new adventures I partook in. Well, I wouldn't say I have failed my challenge- but I have learned that even for someone…
