Confessions

Confession: I enjoy the taste of burnt carbs. For this reason pizza is much better, in my opinion, the second time around, so I can heat it up and let it get a little crispy. Confession: I’m technically from the south, but I fit in much better with the northern culture. But really, I think… Continue reading Confessions

Questions: Foreign Language

Let’s try to start this up again! This is a series where I ask a question, and you (and I) have to answer it. Have you studied a foreign language? Did you reach fluency, or near fluency? Would you like to continue to study that language, or a different one? I’ll start: As soon as… Continue reading Questions: Foreign Language

Spring Blooms

April 3, 2016April 2, 2016 sydni jackson2 Comments

Just wanted to share some photos of flowering trees that have been making my middle of the semester, not-sure-what-the-weather-is-doing days. Thanks Virginia Tech, for being so inspiring and uplifting this spring! By the way, if you haven’t yet, would you mind taking this quick survey letting me know your thoughts about my blog? I appreciate… Continue reading Spring Blooms

My style is a mash-up of laid-back hippie with preppy tendencies. My husband and I live in France with our fluffy white cat named Tela. I love Jesus, photography, Phish, the color turquoise, and tropical islands.

The ☀️ was out today and the temperature exceeded 50, so now I’m all - okay, time for summer!! #water #warmth #rosé
Happy Valentine’s Day, friends! You are loved! ❤️
In the winter months, I love to stay cozied up on my couch. Reading, watching a show, browsing the internet, just resting, or talking with friends - I’m content to stay cuddled up all day. Because I’m still for longer periods of time, I end up reading a lot more. What’s more enjoyable on a cold day than watching the snow fall in your peripheral while nestled in a good story? On the flip side, I also love summer reading. I always want to soak up the sun when it’s shining hot and full, and taking a good book with me is a good excuse to stay outside. But with all the travel and activities that come with summer, I tend to read less than I aspire to. When do you read? #10thingstotellyou
It’s 2pm and I just realized it’s February 1. Does that mean this month is going to fly by? I normally feel like I suffer through the cold and dark winter months, but looking back on photos from when we lived in Blacksburg, I really do cherish the slowness of winter hibernation. Staying inside, baking, reading magazines, and cuddling kittens in warm blankets are pretty nice after months of being on the go. Do you like February? What are your favorite parts of winter?
