Basic, but make it mindful.
I shared recently on IG how I’ve been hearing about so much loss and suffering lately. Friends who have lost family members, complete strangers who’ve lost a loved one, humans and animals suffering at the hands of others, or from neglect. It makes me angry. And it also makes me feel like curling up in [...]
It’s officially been over one year now since mine and Dan’s wedding- the biggest and best party we’ve ever thrown with so many of our loved ones- and I’m still not over how lucky we are to have gotten to experience this kind of moment in life. It truly was so freaking special. And, even [...]
Not sure about you guys, but I’ve been feeling a little off as of late. Not necessarily in a bad way, but in a way where I feel like I’m rediscovering who I am. Like the things that I used to do or like have changed and I am not quite sure what they are [...]
Yesterday was my birthday- my last year in my 20’s- which is WILD to think about. And usually, that would send me down a rabbit hole of anxiety and fear, but this birthday felt so different. After 29 years on this planet, I think I’ve finally figured out how to navigate the emotions that come [...]
So today my Mom painted my childhood bedroom- walls that have writing from friends from over 10 years ago. Dated with little blurbs about whatever it was we were doing that day- a walk-in time capsule. Most notably- moving out of my parents house for the first time- to our first apartment, and for the [...]
I know I must sound like a broken record lately, with all the talking I’ve done about our recent travels, but honestly it feels like that’s all there’s been to talk about. It’s been an all-consuming part of our lives for the past few weeks, and now we can finally relax and reflect back on [...]
So, as many of you probably know by now, Dan and I recently bought a home. Our offer was accepted in January, we closed in February, and we moved in March. Then we proceeded to host family and travel to see friends and family over the next 6 weeks- which is why I figured I’d [...]
As many of you probably know by now, I hate moving. Like…despise it. And I know I am not alone on this one. It sucks having your belongings all over the place and out of order without a home. And, while you’re in it, you feel like you have an extra full-time job. Even when [...]
You might have already seen on Instagram, but I wanted to give a more detailed update here: WE BOUGHT A HOUSE!!! I still can’t believe it. You may all remember when Dan and I had made the difficult decision, over a year ago, to back out of contract with the house we’d been building since [...]
I know that, for some, Valentine’s day might not be the most pleasant holiday. It may serve as a reminder that you’re single, far away from your loved ones, or it may just intensify the feeling of general loneliness. And regardless of what it is, it’s not easy. Anything that forces you to face something [...]
