We’re Engaged!
Magic. Pure magic is how I would describe our weekend trip to Nashville; the place we got engaged! My heart could literally burst from how loved I’m feeling. Thank you so much for all of the love & well-wishes on social media. I couldn’t be more grateful for the people in my life & how [...]

2021 Intentions
I couldn’t be more thankful for these guys! When we went back to school in the fall, I started setting weekly intentions for myself. This felt like a good way to be gentle with myself & not to feel too much pressure while teaching. It felt comforting & productive while not overwhelming. I really recommend [...]

There’s no getting around it; maybe you’re doing a socially distant Thanksgiving, or you’re celebrating Christmas just with your household. Maybe you’re used to cooking for an army of people, [...]

Stepping Outside of my Comfort Zone
Wear the clothes you want to wear! I kid you not, one of my favorite outfits in 4th grade was a white skirt with black & white polka dot leggings underneath. In 5th grade, I wore a hot pink blazer with a pink & orange floral top under it. Bright colors, sequins, bold patterns, I [...]
Someday…
I could wear a bikini, if only I’d lose 25 lbs. I could start a blog, once I learned everything there is to know about blogging. I could go on a fun weekend trip, if I worked out five days a week for a month. I’d bargain with myself. I was limiting myself, depriving myself. [...]
