“Life is a party. Dress up.” - K.Ricci Hi! My name is Kyle. Yes, said just like a boy’s name, but no my parents didn’t want a boy. I started this blog because I enjoy reading others’ blogs so much. I thought I’d like to share my day to day with not only family and friends, but others like me. You’ll see a lot of baking, daily outfits, my yorkie Oscar and the time I spend doing not so special things. I’m also a single girl and I think that is something everyone can identify with. The struggles of dating and building relationships. So this is STILL my tumblr where it’s all about me, me, ME!
