Today I turn another year older! It’s funny, I don’t feel a lot about this birthday. Do you know what I mean? For years as a kid, birthdays were looked forward to year-round; they meant celebrations, parties, and new toys. And then, throughout the teenage years, they signified big things, like getting a learner’s permit, a driver’s license, or [Continue Reading…]
Weekly Vlog #2 (November 19-29th)
In my second weekly vlog (first one here), I share my 10 day trip to Maryland, a weekend at the beach, setting up and cooking Thanksgiving dinner, and lots of family time–plus a few moments like an almost-broken finger, my mom’s reaction to Adult Swim, and what it’s like sharing a bathroom with five other people.

Today is the second installment in my holiday gift guide series (first installment: Gifts for the Cozy Homebody)! I often joke about being “semi-crunchy,” meaning that I love natural, green, holistic alternatives, but not always to the extent of some of my friends. If you’re shopping for someone who uses essential oils, prefers glass containers to plastic ones, [Continue Reading…]

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Chase. All opinions are 100% mine. Let me tell you a story. A couple of weeks ago, Riley texted me just after arriving at work.

Weekly Vlog #1 (November 14-17)
According to my new posting schedule, a podcast was meant to be released this morning. Instead, I decided to try something new and vlog from Monday through Thursday of this past week.

It was originally published in May 2016, but I think it’s worth revisiting, especially at this time of year, when full schedules often breed grumpiness. 😉 My husband Riley and I returned back from a long trip last-last Saturday. We then spent the following Sunday doing laundry, catching up [Continue Reading…]

Write Your Prayers Down
This is a repost from the archives. It was originally published in December of 2015, but every word rings true today. Write your prayers down.
