I'm one of those people that really nerds out with the new year: I set goals, clean out my life, re-evaluate my relationships, and make promises to myself to just be so much better- that all sounds great, right? Except just like the majority of us, come February, I can hardly even remember the resolutions … Continue reading Resolutions: But Ones We Won’t Forget About
I’m Baaaaack!
Hey hey everyone! I'm back, and a WHOLE lot has changed during my brief (turned pretty long) hiatus! Sorry to leave everyone hanging for literal years, but I promise there is a bit of an explanation. I started the blog because it was something my heart felt called to do, but having a certain schedule … Continue reading I’m Baaaaack!
Moderator or Abstainer
One of my co-workers asked me recently if I was a moderator or an abstainer and it's kind of stuck with me (shoutout to you, Ang <3). She was asking, when it comes to altering my habits am I someone who has to completely abstain in order to succeed or am I someone who can … Continue reading Moderator or Abstainer
Fall Faves
Happy Monday, friends! I hope you all had a weekend worth remembering, I know I sure did. We're about halfway through October, (how the heck did that happen?!) so I wanted to share with you some of my go-tos for the fall, and for life in general really. I'm not really one for eye creams, … Continue reading Fall Faves

This week was homecoming at my high school, … Continue reading Home-Coming

Anyone else make decisions sometimes that they know aren't the "best" decision but maybe are the decision that will make you feel like you're living your life? When I think back to when I was a kiddo and even when … Continue reading I Took a Nap
Things I Love

Recognizing these little things have made my life so much more fulfilling, so I wanted to share some of the little things that … Continue reading Things I Love
The Power of a “Thank You”
"Thank You"- typically one of the first two-word phrases a parent teaches their child. This is such an important two-word phrase, but one that I've found is often under used, especially where it really matters. When I pray I always make sure to offer up prayers of thanksgiving just as much, if not more than, … Continue reading The Power of a “Thank You”
Exhaustion
Yesterday, I didn't do much. But by "not doing much" I realize that I in turn did a lot. You see, my weekends start at noon on Friday when I get off of work. This week I left straight from work to meet my mom to shop and go to lunch, went home, cleaned my … Continue reading Exhaustion
YOLO
Remember a few years ago when "YOLO" was the big thing? For those of you who don't know, Y.O.L.O. stands for "you only live once", and back when I was in college YOLO was the mantra everyone lived by. Wanted to go out but still had homework to finish and an 8:00 class the next … Continue reading YOLO
