Thankful
Hi friends! Tis the season to count blessings, and tonight, I’m overwhelmed with gratitude for this life. November is a month of thankfulness, and I thought I’d share with you just a snippet of the abounding goodness in my life. First of all, my phenomenal parents. Just a small, hilarious example of what those two…

So Long Sweet Summer
It seems like I’m a day late and a dollar short for about everything lately, but hi, I’m alive. When I was a kid, a teenager, hell, even an adult pre having a real job, I absolutely loved the summer. I would milk every ounce of it and wallow in misery in the days leading…

Let’s Talk Anxiety
Anxiety. A topic I’ve definitely written about, but never really on a personal level. I’ve written about it to defend others. I’ve written about it to defend it as an actual illness, but I’ve never publicly written about how it affects me. If you know me, like at all, it will probably come as zero…

Love Your Roots
Happy 4th, everyone! There’s something about celebrating the birth of our nation that makes me even more grateful for the beautiful place I grew up in. For 24 years of my life, West Virginia was my little piece of the USA to celebrate yearly, and for that, I feel incredibly blessed. I spent some time…

I’m the one, I’m the only one
I’ve had this song on repeat for days now (the video is laughably weird), but I also thought that title was very fitting for the latest edition of, ‘I need a pep talk and maybe I can pep talk you in the process.’ The past two weeks have been messy. Par for the course when…

As another wonderful vacation wraps up, and the doom and gloom of reality is weighing heavily, I thought I would share some tips on going on vacation without breaking the bank. I am incredibly blessed that my in-laws live in a super awesome vacation destination so we have few costs involved in a place to…

Spring Favorites
Hello from the sunny beaches (pools, I hate sand) of Florida! We’ve been here since late Wednesday night and honestly, I don’t think I’ve ever had a more well-deserved vacation. I’m literally poolside right now, listening to palm fronds sway in the wind 🌴, (so sorry to rub it in :D) and I thought there’s…

Advice from me to me:
Hiya! One of my best friends requested a, ‘things I would tell teenage me’ post, and I felt particularly motivated to oblige. This feeling was intensified by one hard cider (I am hilarious), and a trip to Hollister that boasted a ‘very 2007’ playlist. This may be a refreshing take on this topic, because unlike…

When Life Happens
Last time I sat down and typed out a post, my family and I were bracing for what we thought was the imminent loss of a loved one. I was lost, and sad, and hysterical. The thought of actually publishing that post seemed wrong to me. So I didn’t. I’m incredibly glad that I didn’t.…

Baking and Bowling for Big Brothers Big Sisters
Hey friends! So sorry for the missed post last week. I ended up coming down with the full fledged flu (alliteration for the win!) and actually was blissfully miserably unaware that I didn’t post! Anyway, I’m back this week feeling like a brand new human and am ready to share my only kitchen savvy recipe…
