As the clock strikes midnight on January 1st, it seems like the entire world collectively vows to become new people overnight. Gyms fill up, planners fly off the shelves, and we all set goals that, let’s be honest, often don’t stick past Valentine’s Day. I’ve been there. I’ve resolved to lose 10 pounds, drink more […]

Is Prince Harry A Reliable Source for His Own Story?
I am going to be the first to admit that I am coming from a slightly biased perspective. If you’re new here (hi!) you might not know that I used to be a BIG fan of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. I’ve been (very avidly) watching the royals since the early 2000s, and started my […]
Parenting In A Pandemic
I started writing this post on January 21, 2021 and stopped. I probably got busy with the kids, or with work, or something and just never came back to it (obviously). That happens a lot with me and this blog since having kids (sorry about that!). When I logged in recently and saw that draft […]
Daegan’s Birth Story | Preeclampsia
I haven’t written here in a while… roughly two years, in fact. In that time lots of things have happened – namely, I’ve had another baby. As of this writing, my beautiful baby boy – Daegan (rhymes with “Reagan” of the Ronald variety) is nearly 8 months (!!) old. He is the sweetest, happiest, most […]

Turns Out, I Can’t Do It All
I’ll start this by saying that I know the following set of circumstances are kind of weird. I know it isn’t the norm, and I don’t know why I allowed it to impact me so much, but I did – so moving on. For most of my life, the idea of waking up every morning […]
Allergies, For Real
Let’s get really, really real for a minute. I’ve touched on my anxiety here and on social media for years. If you read this blog, you know – to some extent – that it exists. For the last few years it’s been fairly well controlled, although I did have a bit of a setback when […]
On Trend | Goldenrod
Rihanna hinted at this trend at the 2015 Met Gala, and now as is often the case in the fashion world – three years later the at absolutely stunning gown has sparked a trend in the slightly more accessible fashion arena. No, the whole world isn’t wearing gorgeous, bedazzled, fur lined robes with killer trains […]
