I've had this in my drafts for over a year, I'm not really sure if it was finished or if it was why I didn't post it, but we're just going to go with it…(new comments will be in this color) Last time I was here I said I was back...can we all just laugh about that for a minute? This is very laughable because I still wasn't back. I'm not sure if it was the blog writing for my job, or just that I wasn't very happy in that job, but my cup was empty at the end of the day. I couldn't bring m[...]
Well obviously, March is when COVID effects hit us hard. We stayed home, cooked a lot and got take-out a lot. March 2020 Highlights Celebrated my friends' engagement (pre-COVID)Everything was cancelled — including Dear Evan Hansen, which I was supposed to see the week following lockdown.I still had my long icy blonde hair — before I had to remove my extensions, my hair broke and died and I decided to go back to brown to preserve what I had left (also because salons shut down I couldn'[...]

I decided to start a little series which I like to call photo dump. This is where I will be unloading the month's photos, just so you can get a peak into what I've been up to. Since I haven't been around here in a while I thought I would start with January of this year. Ah January, we really had no idea what was coming to us, huh? We were all still saying "This will be my best year yet!" and "This is my year." It's sad really. Also, these photo dumps are probably going to be a lot of cat[...]
It's the ONE YEAR anniversary of this little blog and I suppose now would be the perfect time to make my return. One year ago, I started blogging with a whole week of Valentine's posts. Aw. I stopped blogging for a while for a number of reasons (explained below). None of those reasons apply anymore, so I've run out of excuses. One of my new year's goals was to get back to creating content and the only thing that was stopping me was me. Welcome or welcome back. I've missed this. It'[...]
It's here, finally. I have a sunburn and sinus infection to prove it. That's right people IT'S SUMMERRRRR. Today is the first day of June and the beginning of summer months. It's my favorite time of the year because I can't stand being cold...at all. Here in the midwest we have more cold months than hot ones, so I like to make the most out of my summer heat before it's gone again. Below I have a few tips on how to get outside in the summer. We spend so much time complaining about the cold, it d[...]
CONGRATULATIONS GRADS! You did it. All those late nights you never thought you'd get through, well you did it fam. It's graduation season, which means some of you are planning a graduation party. Whether it's your own, your sisters', a friend's or daughter's, I've got some tips to take your shindig up a notch! Last year I graduated and everyone that attended my party kept saying "this is exactly the party I'd expect you to have." I think that was a compliment, but I'm not exactly sure what i[...]
Wow where has this year gone! I can't believe it's already March. I don't know about you, but I feel like January and February were free trial months and now it's really time to start 2018. I have not been on top of my goals for the year and I think it's about time to get back into it. Let's do it together! This is about the time everyone is giving up on their resolutions. So let's talk about your resolutions and why they aren't working for you. I was in Lululemon a while back and saw this qu[...]
Today is our 8 year anniversary! YAS. It really doesn't feel like it's been that long, but eight years can go by really quick when you're having fun with your best friend. To celebrate today, I'm sharing 8 things you probably didn't know about us. 1. We started dating in high school, but we actually met in middle school. He had just transferred schools and was in my math class. The first thing he said to me was "Do you want to join the fruit club? I'm king banana!" I thought he was a w[...]
Every time I sat down to write this, I cried. I started writing about my cats when I had two cats, now I have one. What I originally wrote was fun and happy, but it doesn’t make sense now. I said goodbye my best pal, Max, on Monday. It was probably the hardest thing I’ve had to do. He was my first childhood cat and he has been in my life as long as I can remember. It doesn't seem real that he's gone. That I'll never see him again. I can’t believe how unbelievably lucky my family w[...]
Now that Valentine's Day is over, it's time to get down to the nitty grittyyyy...sorry I've been playing a lot of HQ. Anyway....I want to get a little more personal and share how I got here and why I finally started my blog It's a crazy thing. This world is small and life can throw you exactly what you need when you need it. I have been thinking about blogging as long as I can remember. I started a little Wordpress.com blog back in college that was nothing serious {you can view it her[...]
