Goodbye Paris, Hello World (Our European Adventure: Day 10&11)
June 22nd, 2019: It would take a long time for me to ever get used to sleeping in, yawning and looking out the window of my hotel room to see Paris, but with the warm welcome it had given us over the last two days, I looked out at the already sunny city, tipped my Continue reading

Our suitcases were upstairs, tightly packed and (miraculously) zipped, and we had twin taxis scheduled to pick us up at 10:30 a.m. for our 1:15 p.m. train.

It Started with Whiskey and Ended McNasty (Our European Adventure: Day 4&5)
Sunday June 16th, 2019 On an average day I don’t usually have whiskey with my breakfast, but when you’re in Southern Ireland and there is a Jameson Distillery twenty minutes from your hotel, sometimes you find yourself having whiskey for breakfast.

Uh, Hey, We’re in Ireland! (Our European Adventure: Day 1)
June 13th, 2019: So there we were. Overstuffed backpacks making our shoulders ache, wheeled suitcases constantly hitting bumps and threatening to topple over, and ankles far too bare for the unexpected wind that welcomed us into the Dublin morning. After 13 hours of travel, my family had landed in Ireland and were making our way Continue reading

I just want everyone to know that as I typed this I was eating popcorn. But not just any popcorn. Microwave popcorn. But not just any microwave popcorn. A bag of PERFECTLY POPPED microwave popcorn. That’s right folks. I have achieved perfection. I did not burn a single kernel, nor leave a single one unpopped. Continue reading

The Last Thing on My Phone (Part 2)

2019 Goals Check-In
Hey y’all, happy June! I’m really at a loss for words that we’re halfway through the year already—but then again, it seems like New Year’s Day was approximately 600 years ago. So. That’s where I’m at with 2019. But I set some excited goals for this year and I thought it was about time I checked Continue reading

Just Live the Day

A little while back I read The Grapes of Wrath, and like in many of the classics, I found a great nugget of advice. It was simple, easy advice, which to me meant it would be almost impossible to follow, but it’s stuck with me over the last few months and I wanted to share Continue reading
