  • Blogmas! My Festive To Do List

    Blogmas! My Festive To Do List

    Hi all, and welcome to BLOGMAS! Yup, you read that right, blogmas. We’ve got 24 days until Christmas, and that’s 24 back to back holiday posts, because I’m going bauble balls to the wall this Christmas season. This is absolutely going to be a challenge, not only to fill this corner of the internet with…

  • Old Year, Old Me

    Old Year, Old Me

    We’re about to round out another year, and there’s no denying that this one has been full of many happy things. However, as I was rushing around this morning, running late for work for about the billionth time in the last six months, I felt incredibly disappointed in myself. If you’re anything like me, closing…

  • Thankful

    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…

  • Let’s Talk Anxiety

    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

    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’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…

  • Ballin’ on a Budget: Vacation 

    Ballin’ on a Budget: Vacation 

    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…

  • Baking and Bowling for Big Brothers Big Sisters

    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…

  • When Life Gives You January

    When Life Gives You January

    Photo cred: Ken Lilly It’s funny that as I was mentally planning this post over the last few days, I was thinking, “Nope, January’s not done with me yet!” These words are coming at ya from under three blankets with a 101 degree fever. I woke up this morning feeling… funky. However, I was determined…
