There's something I haven't talked about in this space, or even with all my close friends, yet. At the end of last year, I was pregnant, and then had a miscarriage. I am a mom. I knew about my pregnancy for two weeks, which 100% overlapped our travels over Christmas break this past year. On January 1 I … Continue reading How to Talk about a Secret

How to Find an Airbnb
Since I found out about airbnb, it has been my to-go lodging resource when scoping out a new travel destination. Some of its perks are: getting a feel for the local vibe, meeting residents of the town, visiting a new home, getting personalized recommendations of the area, and having more space and often being cheaper … Continue reading How to Find an Airbnb
Don’t Worry
For those of you who, like me, need this reminder today (and every day)... This post on Nicole's blog encouraged me so much I wanted to make a reminder of it. Nicole is currently pregnant AND waiting to hear about an adoption placement. In the world's eyes, she has plenty to worry about! I obviously … Continue reading Don’t Worry
Short Hair
After I got out of the shower after my hair cut (two months ago) and felt my once-long locks chopped and thin from the water, I felt like a cog. One of those cyborg half-human ladies from a dystopian sci-fi movie. Not that having short hair is bad, I just felt... bald. The last time … Continue reading Short Hair

How better to relish this time of year than snuggling up with a blanket, a candle, and some popcorn and watching some classic movies?

Week 1
This week FLEW by. Like lightning. I can't really figure out why, other than two (out of three) of my classes changed, and I had a lot of dinners and exercise events in the evenings. I was hoping that the first week back would be slow and casual, that I would be able to easily … Continue reading Week 1
Autumn Outfit Inspiration
There isn't a better time of year than fall for putting together outfits. There are so many options with layers, colors, shoes, and outerwear. Putting on jeans and sweaters feels so cozy after wearing shorts and tanks for a whole summer. These are the clothes that are inspiring me this fall...

When You Feel Like the Only One
Just things I was thinking about... Being 28, married for six years, and not yet in the stage of having kids is isolating. It's fantastic that my friends have or are having children. But since my husband and I aren't trying to be in that stage yet, I feel alone. I feel disconnected from my … Continue reading When You Feel Like the Only One

They are necessary for the survival of certain species, many of which we rely on for food such as almonds, apples, peaches, and berries. By having a garden that attracts bees, you can help this endangered species stick around. The … Continue reading A Garden for Bees
