I’m Robin: an average girl made giddy by the little things in life!
I believe in bubble baths. I believe in really good hugs. I believe the right shade of lipstick is the one that makes you feel like a million bucks. I believe in the magic of chocolate chip cookies, laughing until you cry, and really pretty shoes.
I believe every day may not seem special, but every day is sprinkled with little things worth smiling about. Welcome to the space where I hope to inspire you to seek out and start conversations about the sprinkles in your life by sharing with you the little sprinkles from mine.
I became Austin’s wife New Year’s Eve 2013. (People still call us newlyweds, and I don’t really know where the cutoff is. 3 years? 5 years?) Two weeks after the big I do we had the bright idea to move to Louisville, and 9 months later the brighter idea to run back to Texas where we are (God-willing) planted for the long haul. *God bless Texas.* Or something like that.
The next time I fill a moving truck will be too soon.
He’s my partner in crime, voice of reason, divinely designed other half, and love of my life in the cheesiest way possible. I kind of like the guy.
While most of this space is focused on my happiness in superficial pretties, my true joy comes from being a daughter and follower of my savior Jesus Christ.
If you’re still concerned with who I really am, I think these cover most of the fundamental bases of Robin:
Food: You know the top triangle of the food pyramid that’s recommended in moderation? That whole thing. I’m not so much an “I love sugar” sort of person as I am “sugar is life” sort of person.
Drink: All of the coffee, and all of the wine.
Color: If you pass it thinking “Wow, that color is really boring” I probably love it. Grey/Beige/Greige for life.
TV Personality: I’m about as Leslie Knope as it gets right down to the waffles and type-a quirkiness. (Quirkiness is a more fun word for mental instability.) If you don’t know what that means, here’s an article to give you a pretty good idea of what I’m talking about.
Zoo animal: Obsessive monkey-lover from birth. I held a wild baby howler monkey in Belize last year and may or may not have sort of cried just a little.
Book: Gone with the Wind in all of its 1,037-page glory. Plus, of course, every single one of the 4,224 pages that make up the Harry Potter series. I looked that number up just for this. Translate this entire bullet as I’m a really huge nerd.
Childhood hero: I thought Nancy Grace was the bomb. I ate up all of the cable news networks’ content like cartoons nightly. I was 8.
Present-day hero(s): Educators everywhere. Teachers, you da real MVP(s).
Now if you’re really itching for more, I recommend a leisurely peruse through the rest of the ol’ blog parts.The beginning is always a fun place to start, and this one is probably my most visited on the regular.
I hope you enjoy! Always, always, always feel free to reach out with any questions or comments, however personal or weird. I’ve probably heard weirder, and I will always be 100% honest.
Your an amazing person and have accomplished so much in so little time since high school keep it up god has amazing plans for you and Austin

This made my day, Katelyn! Thank you! I did have to take a little mental-health hiatus, probably should have mentioned I’d be doing that.. but it’s nice to know it went noticed. 😉 I took the time to do a little cleaning up around here, and I’ve got a lot of content up my sleeve ready to go soon! 🙂
