I walked in the door to find my sweet husband eating left over Brussel sprouts from the fridge. I kissed his neck and whispered, “Get me out of here.” Or something dramatic along those lines. We jumped in the car and headed across the bridge. Every single time I see the Mississippi she makes me […]

Hello friends! I want to tell you everything and nothing at the same time. How are you? I would promise to be better at this blogging bit but we both know it would only be half true. I am getting better about not over promising myself. So here I am today, a mason jar of […]

Hello friends! Today is my birthday. I hope that means you will forgive my absence. I completely missed blogging during my thirty-second year of life. It wasn’t planned but the days happened and here we are now. Garrett woke me up this morning singing, “I’m feeling thirty-three” and it does have a nice ring to […]

I have a to do list a mile long but I want to share a story. I need to remember it. So I pour a cup of coffee and here I am this early Friday morning. I don’t know where you will be in your day or what will be on your mind. Sometimes it’s easy […]

Hello 2017. I went in for a hug and you went for a handshake. Or maybe I only imagined even that. While the New Year started off beautifully, the rest of the days this month have been out of sorts. It’s early on a Sunday morning and Garrett is tied up all day which leaves me sipping […]

A few weeks ago I was perusing Instagram when I noticed a sign in a post that I haven’t stopped thinking about. “Live a life of I get to, not I have to.”  It’s simple in a complicated way. I remember it throughout the day. It also makes me feel different things each time I think about it. […]

There’s been a lot of life happening and some words that aren’t meant for sharing yet. That’s always been a tricky thing for me, when to share and when to sit with all that is going on. It takes a fair amount of calmness to be okay in the midst of things. I want to be […]

It’s amazing how two months can crawl past and then disappear in blink. Time is a tricky beast one can’t possibly understand but I feel respectful of it. For one thing, you don’t negotiate with time. It’s not something personal, it happens to everyone and for those of us that have the privilege of choosing […]

Recently I came across a Pinterest recipe that has stolen our hearts. It’s simple yet satisfying. One day I was craving a Snickers and decided to try and find a recipe for something I could make without a trip to the store for eggs… which would have inevitably led to me purchasing desired Snickers and […]

The best part of moving into a new space is how it naturally forces you to shake things up. The limitations give you boundaries and this direction helps things fall into place. One of my favorite things to do as little girl was play Barbies. Though looking back it wasn’t so much the Barbies as the creating […]
