Basic, but make it mindful.
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 [...]
Last week I wasn’t feeling well and never got around to writing this week’s post (hence why it’s being posted a little late). So I wrote a little something on Sunday, but that mostly just came out as gibberish. It was about how I’d begun last week overwhelmed, but felt back on top of things [...]
On January 29th, 2021, I launched this blog. I was SO damn nervous, but I remember feeling as though everything had fallen into place. I felt so supported and positive. Incredibly anxious and vulnerable. I felt all the things that make you feel alive. And as I’m typing this I realize how long it’d been [...]
I remember reading something once about how life does not end at 25, and that we need to stop acting like it does. We can fall in love at 50, find success at 40, change our minds, switch careers, and do something completely different with our lives at 30. And I know this all probably [...]
So, after nearly 2 years of being able to avoid this damn thing (by staying home, eating outdoors, getting vaccinated, and so on and so on), it finally happened. I got Covid. At this point I feel like it was more a matter of when, not if, so I wasn’t super surprised or panicked. I [...]
