I’m going to be blunt: Holidays have always been a bit of a pain for my husband and I. Why? Because we both want to spend the holidays with each other and we also both want to see our families – BOTH of our families. We have never split up for the holidays, even when […]

Royal Roundup | Prince Harry in Chicago & Kate at Kensington Palace
I know, I know. I disappear forever, write a post about posting more… and yet I still can’t drop the royal content. I can’t help it guys – royals just make me happy! They’re a little bit of living, breathing history and I’m just fascinated by it all. Anywho, The Duchess of Cambridge (nee Kate […]
GLO Skincare Review
If you’ve been reading for a while (or even for like, 3 blog posts) you may know that I’m fortunate enough to own my own business handling social/digital marketing and content creation for clients.

Cocktail Hour | Mocktail Spiked Cider
As you may or may not know, I’m not a huge drinker (I just love playing hostess!), and since I’m pregnant that means I haven’t had one sip of alcohol since the end of May (yep, celebrated my #dirty30 completely sober… while on vacation. Mostly I just napped a lot.). But that doesn’t mean that I […]
A Little Life Update

My Skincare Regimen
A few days ago I was off at the day job showing a house when I causally mentioned my husband in conversation. The other real estate agent and their client looked at me and exclaimed there is no way I’m old enough to be married, and when I told them I am going to be […]
Book Review | My Lady Jane
Have you ever learned something about history – something that seems so ridiculous and a bit unfair that you thought “well no, that can’t possibly be right!” Well, it seems that’s what Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton, and Jodi Meadows have done with their novel My Lady Jane. Based – very loosely – on the true story […]
We Moved… Again!
If the blog title is throwing you for a loop, you aren’t imagining things. Yes – we did move recently. And yes, we did it again. (Even though Chuck and I both swore up and down that we would never move ever again because it’s the worst thing ever.) That’s actually part of why this blog […]
