200 Day Time Capsule Blog #12
Well, well, well, if it hasn’t been another 200 days. Or, techinically, 400 days if you read #11.5, which confessed that I forgot to send myself a letter last time. My bad! In the panic of realizing that I broke my streak, I filled out the questions back in April and mailed them off, and… Continue reading

I Threw a Tiny Tantrum
It was all fine. It was a good day with no complications. I went to work, I took an evening exercise class, I had endorphins running through my veins as I mixed together spices for a homemade taco seasoning—life. was. good.

I’m 34!
Last year I wrote this post about my birthday and I thought I would pop in today with a similar sentiment.

Because what a treat to… Continue reading

Don’t Let Anyone Crush Your Wonder
There are so many parts of life that amaze me.

My Summer Bucket List
Last September, I saw people making fall bucket lists meant to help them fully embrace the season. They were lists of activities that are either only available in the fall or perhaps just the most fun in the fall. Things like drink hot apple cider, go apple/pumpkin picking, or do a Turkey Trot. My sister… Continue reading

Today I’m Staying Off My Phone
This is something I’ve been saying to myself on the weekends. Especially when I have an open day to spend at home. I leave my phone on the charger in my bedroom, and it stays there. Any calls or messages are sent to my FitBit, and I will respond if necessary, otherwise, nothing, I am… Continue reading
