Nearly 6 months ago – in mid-January – I gave birth via a planned c-section to Connor, a beautiful, healthy baby boy. The road to meeting him was interesting and a bit scary at times, but what happened after was hell on Earth. My husband and I were lucky in that we didn’t have to […]

Prepping For Baby | Gift Registries
I’m going to write something right now that is going to make every single mom (and dad, probably) roll their eyes and say “duh.” Prepping for a baby is a LOT of work. I mean, I knew it would be a lot of work – obviously. I didn’t think that I was going to get […]
The Holiday Divide
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 […]
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. One of these clients is a local, successful spa/skincare boutique and let me tell you – I have reaped the rewards […]
A Little Life Update
Wow. Just… wow. So much has happened since the last time I wrote (May!) that I feel like I’m just coming up now for air. Since the seasons are changing and there are even more huge things coming up, I figured that now would be the perfect time for me to give a little update […]
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 […]
An Inspired Week | #2
So, here’s the thing. As far as adventures go I’m not exactly jumping at the opportunity to take them. But man oh man do I love to daydream about what it would be like to jump on a plane (I hate to fly) with a one-way ticket to Europe. I’ve told my family countless times […]
Hello… It’s Me.
Recently, I’ve felt that my life was in a bit of a rut, which is part of why I decided to bring back the blogging full-force and organize my little piece of the Internet. Whatever type of day I’m having, sitting down and writing just makes me feel a little more calm and centered, and […]
Get To Know Me Tag
Hi all! I’ve been taking a bit of an accidental break from the blog for, oh, I don’t know – a year now. I’ve been stuck in a rut where I’ve really, really wanted to come back here and start writing, but I want to be generating good content. Not just writing for the sake of […]
I’m Lusting After… Minimalist Sandals
This season (and last season) the shoe of the moment is the simple strappy sandal. And by “simple” I don’t mean “it’s simply a sandal,” I mean – it’s got one strap around the ankle, one strap at the toe, and that’s it. Simple. Elegant. Timeless. And absolutely flawless. I’ve got a pair of these chic sandals […]
