The Whistling Willow

Today is Kate the Great's birthday. She's a darling. 😊

Little mushrooms I stumbled upon while watering the garden. So cute. 😊🌻🍄

Straightened my hair. Let's just say my hair feels like it's a lot longer. 😂👍 #pixiecut #shorthair

One day last week, I had decided that I wanted to hang up the photos I had purchased a while back... And that's when it hit. I wanted to draw something! So, I pulled out my handy-dandy phone and pulled up a picture of my best friend and sister @katethegreat7 world, this is my sketch. Sketch, world. Glad you two are finally acquainted hahaha. #sketch #drawing #blackandwhite

Throwback Thursday to when I had long hair. This wasn't even a year ago! #throwbackthursday #choppedallmyhairoff New post up on my blog :) http://thewhistlingwillow.com/2015/06/messy-waves/ #hair #messywaves #lob #shorthair

She's so cute. She's my favorite. She's my person. Do any other girls think their sisters are adorable? 😁 #sister #shesadorable #katethegreatisthebest

Next in my crazy #instaplant series, behold, the air plant. These things are the cat's pajamas in my opinion. No soil and little water. Perfect for those of us who have trouble keeping plants alive but still love 'em. #flowers #airplant #plants #spring ❤️🌻🍄

My wittle cactus. I really need to plant it into my cat flower pot my sister made for. It would look adorable! 😊🐱🌻🍄 #cactus #spring #flowers

Straightened my hair for the first time in a while. #pixiecut #danglingearrings

Jackson, the monster. #cuteness #nephew

Current obsession. My sister has given me a real appreciation for depressing songs. #jamesbay #letitgo #sadsong

I love how my Chapstick post is one of the top nine 😂 #2015bestnine

And here, friends, you see another college student wearing the recognized "finals week" uniform: sweatpants, tennis shoes, and mismatched socks. One two finals down, two more to go! #finalsweek #sweatpants #tennisshoes #iwillsurvive

🎶Oh, Tannenbaum, 🎶 🎶Oh, Tannenbaum🎶 I don't know how to speak German but my favorite Christmas cookies are definitely pfeffernusse. Mm... Mmm. Good. Cookies are all ready for the ugly sweater party tonight. 😁 #christmas #christmascookies #christmasparty

Last day of regular classes! 👍 Now all I have to do is survive finals haha😁 #lastweekofclasses #pixiecut #redlipstick #beanie #leatherjacket

The models at the tree farm. They made finding a Christmas tree fabulous. #christmastreefarm #christmas #thedudewiththecurlinthemiddleofhisforehead #models (at Timbuk Farms)
