My alarm went off at 5:00 a.m. as it does every day. I reached across the bed to snooze it and thought to myself, “Okay, it’s five… That means it’s 4:00 a.m. back home so no one will be checking emails. You can sleep another hour and begin working later…” But as my surroundings slowly… Read More Life Lessons From Our Garden
If you don’t know this about me, I was a ballerina for 13 years, and quit around the time that we moved to Orlando. One of my biggest regrets in life is that I did not enroll in a dance school in Florida, but that’s besides the point. On Friday, I was able to check… Read More Ballet, brunching, babies and Brazil
This week’s sour mood has been brought to you by Nissan. “I’ll just leave this right here,” I thought, as I sneakily left a Nissan brochure on my dad’s nightstand on the last day of my Puerto Rico vacation. That was seven years ago. A few months following that, I turned 18, walked across the… Read More Flipping the Bird Friday: My 2009 Nissan Altima Paperweight
There is something magical about the holidays. Some of my favorite things include the decorations, the festivities, the promise of a fresh start in the new year and of course… All of the lights, all of the lights! So when Walt Disney World announced that this would be the last year they would present… Read More Goodbye, Osborne Lights. Goodbye, Disney Pass.
Morning y’all. Have you missed me like I’ve missed your views on my blog? I hope so. Sorry I’ve been MIA, but I’ve been writing a lot of blogs for my job’s website (don’t judge) and the thought of coming home and churning out more content has left me like… Honestly, I haven’t had much time to sit down and write.… Read More I’m ready for you, 2016.
Raise your hand if your recent attempts at Christmas shopping have ended up as shopping sprees for yourself. Guilty! There’s a scene in Serendipity in which Jonathan says to Sara, “I hope you enjoy the gloves you bought yourself,” and she says, “Oh, I’m sure I will. I usually enjoy my own thoughtfulness.” Sara is… Read More #HappyHipsterHolidays & Wedding Pics
You did it! You fought the urge to stay in that gravy-stained sweatshirt-and-leggings combination you’ve been lounging in for a few days. You took a shower. You’re ready to make a contribution to society. Hope you made the most of your holiday break! Other than stuffing my face with food at my friends’… Read More The Pineapple Incident: I got a tattoo
Christmas is a month away! Cue A Very She & Him Christmas on repeat, quoting Elf nonstop (Bye, buddy! Hope you find your dad!) and CHRISTMAS DECORATING! (And I apologize for skipping over Thanksgiving but I have no desire to deck out my home with a giant inflatable turkey.) Christmas has already arrived in… Read More Merry Chistmas* To You!
I find it hard to believe that Christians (or maybe a select few nut-jobs) are up in arms because Starbucks has decided against using the phrase “Merry Christmas” on their cups and instead used minimalist design. Then again, crazier things have happened in this world. Yesterday I shared a short post that has been making… Read More What Christians Should Do Instead of Boycotting Starbucks
Where did the weekend go? Eight hours ago I was dancing at my sister’s wedding. Flash forward to now, sitting in the office eating leftover Halloween candy (I don’t seek out to find the candy. The candy finds me). My wedding photographer sent over a link last week with a slideshow containing some of our… Read More Halstonica: Wedding Preview
