Favorite Instagrammers

Instagram is one of my very favorite places to find visual inspiration and the communities that I’m a part of have played a huge part in all of my creative hobbies. I follow lots of fantastic folks, but here is a list of folks I’m currently drawing inspiration from:

@theresetgirl

Cori, the reset girl, is known for goal setting and turning her life around. She lives in an RV with her husband and travels around the country hosting workshops. I love following her because she creates all kinds of free (and paid) content for her community and she hosts a Late Night Crafty Club (where lots of creative folks craft together and chat online) through YouTube a couple times a month.

@alibrownie

Oh Ali, I just love every single thing that she posts. Ali is amazing at all things watercolor and posts about her beautiful traveler’s notebooks as well. If you like her photos, you should also check out her YouTube channel because it’s the bomb. This lady is my soul sister and I love her heart for Jesus.

@lovebaileyjean

I started following Bailey a long, long time ago when she started posting her bible journaling pages. I love that her entries look easy to replicate, yet still really well done. Over the years, I’ve also really appreciated the insight she shares on goal setting and her word of the year.

@rachnordgren

Rachel and her husband were building a tiny home a couple years ago when I started following along, but recently have moved overseas with their adorable dog. They are traveling throughout Europe and her pictures are just absolutely lovely. I’m living vicariously through her feed!

@inkiequill

Adell from Inkie Quill is a full time Mom and YouTuber with the most amazing pocket page layouts. I’ve watched almost all of her videos for inspiration during my own crafty sessions. She’s recently started getting into art journaling and she shares a perfect marriage between the two while putting out lots of content for her followers to eat up.

@lizlayne

Liz is master of promoting self care and continually shares about her own journey and experiences along the way. Her simple grounding techniques have been huge in changing my fast paced life. She’s the sweet soul behind “yes, this” and the Tell It: Collage class I participated in recently.

I love the contrast in Courtney’s feed and how all of her artwork is very brightly colored. She also shares all kinds of art-related YouTube videos that I love keeping up with. She also has lots of fun crafty supplies that I swoon over.

I found Marissa via her blog a couple years ago before my family went on a trip to Hawaii. I’ve been following along on her journey ever since. I love seeing the Hawaii life and all of the beautiful photographs she shares.

@julie.thedesigntwins

Julie’s account is a newer follow for me and not something I would normally gravitate toward far as design goes, but I just love the lines and style. As I look to curate my own home, the cozy feeling that she emulates is super appealing to me.

I found Caylee’s beautiful Instagram a few years ago and have since joined her art journaling group, Get Messy. I love everything about her design style and her beautiful lettering. Caylee is also the master of the overhead shot. You can also find her blog here.

Amy’s photos are great, but her captions are better. I love her for the stories that she tells and the vulnerability that she offers to her followers. It’s a mini blog and I just can’t help but love her sweet family.

@younghouselove

I have been reading the Young House Love blog since waaay back when. I totally re-read all of their past home posts when we were getting ready to purchase, paint, and refinish the hardwood floors in our home. They now have a podcast and a couple rental properties, so it’s been fun to watch their business and design style grow and develop over the past couple years.

It’s no secret that I’m in love with Chip and Joanna’s show, Fixer Upper, so how can I not love their IG as well? I could spend all day looking at her photos and I just love that the captions are always so personable and relate-able. Her garden and plants are always a fave.

Our little fam spent a few hours out at Katfish Katy’s a couple weeks back and I just had to share the pictures. At the time I thought it was warm out, but now I hate myself for complaining (it’s 92 degrees today). Kevin biked out form our house and then Chloe and I drove to meet him. We had some yummy fish tacos and hush puppies. There was live music and lots of dogs, so we all had something to keep us entertained.

We stopped at the Big Tree on the way back, and regrettably this photo doesn’t do justice to it’s massive size. Naturally, Chloe was exhausted so she dozed the rest of the way home.

Week in the Life 2018 | Sunday Words + Photos

Week in the Life by Jacqueline and Kevin Reape on 500px.com

Thank you so much for following along with my Week in the Life. I just went through my photos of WITL from last year and it reminded me of how it doesn’t seem like anything has changed, but you look back and it’s all different. Hopefully at some point, I’ll be able to go back and re-upload all of the blog posts like this from the past that I’ve lost as a way to compare, but for now, you’ll have to trust me. I love this practice as a way to step back and look creatively at my day to day life. I’m not planning on doing a whole album of these pictures, but I will incorporate them into my Project Life Album for this month.

Friday is the best day, however, I really started slacking on photos. This project really starts to take a toll on you after a couple days, but I really want to finish strong. Hopefully tomorrow will turn out a little better.

7:40 am // Running a bit behind today, so why not invite the pup up on the bed (she sleeps in a Serta Perfect Sleeper Dog Bed on the floor) for some cuddles. Love all of our feet in this picture.

I’m thankful that my passion for serving people and my career are colliding on a daily basis; it’s hard work but it’s always worth it. I’m thankful for a company that is always improving and that challenges me to do the same in all aspects of my life.
