Just before I got married last summer, I quit my job in Austin, Texas and moved three hours away to a city 30 miles north of Dallas, where my then-fiancé was living. Phew! That sentence encompasses three major life transitions: getting married, changing jobs, and moving cities. Today, I’m focusing on just one transition: changing jobs. (Though this [Continue Reading…]

Our Week in Disney Timeline
Our trip to Disney is right around the corner…just 81 more days! I posted in early January about the restaurants where we made reservations in Disney (post here), but today I’ll update you with our timeline for each day we’ll be in Orlando.

Introducing Simplify Everything, The Podcast
I love podcasts. (I blogged about that here!) I’ve dreamt about starting my own podcast for a long time, but there were always reasons why I didn’t. I wasn’t sure what I’d talk about or who would listen, I couldn’t figure out how to add it into my blog mix, and I didn’t have the right [Continue Reading…]

The Financial Cost of Owning a Dog
I have a sweet dog named Charley, and he’s my favorite. He’s the co-star of my Instagram, my constant companion, and my comic relief. He wasn’t meant to be a therapy dog, but he’s basically become one–just a few minutes with him and any anxiety I’m dealing with just melts. I never had any pets growing [Continue Reading…]

The Best Jewelry Organizer I’ve Found
I’ve owned jewelry since I was very young. My mom is a jewelry lover, her mom is a jewelry lover, all of her sisters are jewelry lovers. On my dad’s side, his mom and sister are jewelry lovers as well. Even as a baby, I received tiny silver bracelets as gifts for my birthday or [Continue Reading…]
Why We Sweat The Small Stuff In Our Marriage
My least favorite part about being married is apologizing all the time. It’s the worst. I’ll say something ugly or harsh, I’ll do something selfish, I’ll act withdrawn and cold. And then I’ll move on and God will catch my breath and tell me firmly, you need to say you’re sorry for that. Without a spoken word, [Continue Reading…]

Thank you Dove for partnering with me on this post. Visit your local retailer to pick up the Dove White Beauty Bar today! I have sensitive, overly-dramatic skin.
