My First Blog

Hello everyone,

I'm Mallory! This is my first blog post. Thanks to Pinterest, I've been wanting to start a blog for a while. Blogs with recipes, DIY tutorials, make up looks, crafts, etc. that I found via Pinterest have taught me a lot! And I hope to teach others too by creating my own blog.
I do plan to share this blog with family and friends who want to share my journey with me, but I also hope to gain some 'random' followers as well!
A little bit about me: I'm 22 years old (soon to be 23), living in Central Wisconsin. I work for a transportation company at a 'desk job' in customer service. My boyfriend, Dylan and I will have been together for 3 years coming up on March 18th and I couldn't be happier. Him and I and our Beagle-Pomeranian mix 'fur baby' Lola live together in our cozy house 'in the middle of nowhere'.
Dylan bought our house in November of 2011 and since then we have made a lot of changes. Although I never took the time to make step-by-step instructions for some of projects in the beginning, I'm hoping to create some step-by-steps for our future projects!
Dylan was just hired for a Conductor position with CN railroad. And so begins my life as a 'railroad wife' (ok, railroad girlfriend, but that doesn't sound as catchy). He will have training outside of Chicago for 7 weeks (about six hours away) and then will start working in Superior, WI/Duluth, MN -just about 10 minutes apart on the Wisconsin-Minnesota line, hence my blog title! We will be making the move up there together hopefully by mid-summer.
I'm used to being with Dylan every night, and every weekend. This is going to be a HUGE change for me. And blogging about all my crafts, projects, makeup ideas, etc. is what I hope will keep me busy in the coming months!

I hope to use this blog to give others the confidence to DIY- our whole home remodel has been done by US alone and it feels so good to know that! I hope to show some makeup looks that I try out (I plan to attend cosmetology school this fall!). And I also plan to use this blog to vent, and share Dylan and my adventures in a new state!
