A November Vlog Update
I’ve been away from blogging for a while now but I miss it like crazy… so I dove in and video blogged for the first time in a couple of years! I tried to keep it short but this scratches the surface in what’s been happening in my world, including how I’ve spent my down time searching for cute old timey boys for my new Pinterest board “Hunks of History”.
What have you been up to? More importantly: should I make Hunks of History a group board & invite you to share to it? Leave your Pinterest username below if you’d like to make magic together.
Great video! I’m working up the courage to create my first for when my new site launches soon :) Interested to hear what the secret project is soon x
“Hunks of History” – Haha.
Reminds me of a blog post I started once where I was going to list the most appealing female celebrity each year since the 30s. It all fell apart when I couldn’t decide just how many years to give to Angie Dickinson during the 60s.
It is possible that I come up with goofy ideas for blog posts.
Hey Kyla,
I have checked out your blog for ages and I have two things to say:
1 – I love your vlog. I think it’s such a great way to connect and hear what you’re up to.
2 – I freaking love your blog design. Seriously. I’m very very very jealous. It is just the kind of look I would want. Darn it, wish I was a decent blog designer.
Keep up the good work. :-)
Merry Christmas!

Aw, Elizabeth you’re such a sweetheart. Thank you! I’m really excited to launch the new Freckled Nest. It’s a lot of work behind the scenes but it’s going to be great to get it all launched :) Thanks for following & checking back!
You are so adorable! This makes me miss you. I think about you often and glad all is going well (and hopefully the home chaos subsides for a bit..!) xo
It was so wonderful to hear from you! I’ve been having some long but rewarding days at work too. Can’t wait to hear about this big, new exciting project for FN, it’s so refreshing to hear you talk about work since it’s so obvious you really love it!
One: Kyla Roma= Nerd chic Snow White . anyone else see it?
Two: Check out the blog Life as a thrifter. i pop into it every so often but you can get awesome bargain style tips from that woman, helped me out in my decor needs. Im not advertising for this woman i dont even really know her but worth a gander.
Three:Sounds like a lot on your plate! Hope all is well and can not wait to see your new pad.
Nerd Chic Snow White?! You just made my whole life, Dee! lol
And thank you for the recommendation, I’m going to definitely check it out :)
This was AWESOME! Even though your “pack everything at the last minute” gives my former moving-company self a little bit of a panic attack. Can’t wait to see/read/hear more from you!
Pinterest – here I come!
THe vlog was lovely Kyla – good luck with the new endeavour at Freckled Nest .. hope it all works out wonderfully!
An early Merry Christmas to you,

This Hunks of History board is amazing. I’m katiecanavan on Pinterest, and I’d totally contribute!
So good to see your face in my Reader! You are adorable in every way. :) I may have laughed a little about your poor pup’s drama queen-ness, as it is something I could tooootally see Dutch doing. Oh, these dogs! :)
OMG the Hunks of History board is suuuuch a good idea. Please count me in, I will post pictures of young Elvis all day! @bandsnbows
Glad to see you’re back! Funny thing — right after we bought our house, our water heater tank exploded too. But we weren’t living in the house yet because we had people working on it… which means we had installed brand new floors a week before and then that room was flooded for a couple of days until I stopped by to drop some stuff off. The joys of homeownership, huh? <3 Anyway — so happy you're back!
Yay! Happy to hear that there are so many great things in the works for you and FN right now Kyla! THough with every great thing comes SO MUCH work, and of course the normal crazy life stuff that pops up amidst your own planning. Boy do I know that game! I’m sending you lots of peaceful and energy filled thoughts to keep you going and feeling well during such a busy season. I need the same thing as this is my craziest season for jewelry for sure! :)
Lots of love.

You were in my dream last night. I must have know you were going to post a video blog today :)
You’re just the cutest thing. It was great to hear from you and get a little update on what you’re up to!
Oh, I loved this! Your recap of your “how I plan for moving” strategy made me LOL because I can completely relate to the “let’s wait until 3 1/2 seconds before we move to pack” mindset. We just moved last week, on the day before Thanksgiving. And because that decision wasn’t stressful enough, I also decided (early on) that we’d be able to do it all in one day but that ended up being FALSE. I have a husband who works retail/nights (which means he basically lived at work last weekend since it was the busiest shopping season of the year) and 3 kiddos; my decision to wait until the last minute to pack/plan for this move was poor…to say the least. Thanks for sharing :)
You’re as adorable as you are clever. Loved your video blog, and can’t wait for the unveiling of the new FN endeavour. And I guess I have of check out Hunks of History! :)
