I don’t know about you but I’m excited to get away and bask in the sun just a little, and most importantly to celebrate a beautiful union. However, I do feel like the preparation before an international trip can be a little overwhelming. We are just a few weeks away from visiting another island location- […]
If you’ve been following along on social media you are probably well aware of our recent island vacation. You’re also probably cognizant of the fact that the last couple of months were particularly challenging for our family. So even though we had a late spring and mid-summer trip planned, an earlier respite was just what […]
Happy New Year, friends! I love choosing a word for the year. I typically use a word to guide my goals and the steps I take toward them for the year. Last year I didn’t choose a word. I thought I’d outgrown the process of choosing. Or that maybe I needed to let the word […]
I didn’t think I was ready to put out a holiday gift guide. I hadn’t done enough research yet on what’s trending. I’m in the trenches of preparing my novel for querying (if you’re a writer you know how arduous a task this is) and as a bit of a distraction, I’ve started the next […]
This time of year is my favorite for many reasons. It’s a time when my schedule starts to become more structured and my activities tend to be more scheduled. When I do have down time I love engaging in activities that give me a little escape from all that structure too. And curling up on […]
Today I’m partnering with Appleseed’s– one of my go-to’s for classic, affordable staple items. If you’ve been around a while you know I took a short break from the blog to focus on a big project that I’ve been working on. I’m ecstatic to report that I have finished the toughest part of it and […]
If you’re a blog subscriber you probably know that I’ve been a little MIA lately. It’s been forever since I’ve written a blog post but if you read my last post How To Write That Book you may have guessed that I’m working on one. I’m more than halfway through the first draft. About 45,000 […]
Believe it or not, I’ve never written a post about writing. I’ve spoken about reading, and about the act of writing, but I haven’t really shared any tips on the subject. Perhaps this stems from the fact that I’m certainly not an expert. But many of the topics here don’t come from expertise but rather […]
Over the last 6 years or so we’ve moved, bought, sold, rented, and bought again because of the nature of my husband’s job and the desire to fully figure out a city before we decide where to make things permanent. I love our current house and hope to enjoy making memories in it for years […]
This is the final part of my Essential Spring Pieces with Appleseed’s collaboration. This is a sponsored post but as usual, all opinions are my own. If you caught my last two posts you saw that I styled the Classic Wool Blazer in navy with a buttercup tee and midi skirt for a cute, flirty, […]
