I’m kind of in love with my middle name. A few other things I’m in love with: the color pink, chocolate, plush blankets, and laughing…a lot.
I’m a podcast listener, book reader, fair-weather 5K runner, and lover of Jesus. The best compliment I’ve ever received is being called a Human Ray of Sunshine. I spend most my days trying to convince people that Slytherin is the strongest Hogwarts house and that iced mocha is my blood type.
My favorite people are my family and my boyfriend Derek, who has baby blue eyes that will stop you in your tracks. Luckily, he doesn’t mind that I stare at him <3
I firmly believe that time and Taylor Swift can heal all wounds, the importance of chips and queso cannot be understated, and you can learn something new every day.

Oh. My. Good. Grief. That’s pretty much my four word reaction to all things Royal Wedding. As you all know from being alive in this the year of our Lord 2018, HRH Prince Henry (lots of middle names here) of Wales and Rachel Meghan Markle became the Duke & Duchess of Sussex this past Saturday…
Okay, so let me explain. Yes, I did give up on my reading challenge. But it’s not because I don’t want to read! In the almost four months of 2018, I have read seven books. Which honestly for me? That’s really good, I am really proud of myself. I went to book club in January…
I HAVE A NEW BATHROOM! Starting March 19, the tear down began, and a week later, it was finished! I want to mention that a family friend named Jim was the craftsman behind the project. He does amazing work, and there is NO WAY it would look half this good if I was left to…
So, based on the title of this post, you’ve guessed that I’ve had an interesting couple of weeks. Monday March 19 I had a 4:00pm meeting. One of those 4:00pm meetings. You know the ones…where you shut the door and next thing you know, you’re packing up boxes and being escorted out. For the longest time, I had…
A few weeks ago, I watched this video: As a self-proclaimed romcom aficionado, I loved the video and how it broke down different parts of the films. It got me thinking about my own collection of romantic comedies and that I’ve always felt like they’ve had a slight contribution to my singleness because of the…
So here I am, after a quite interesting week in the life. I can’t talk about why it was so interesting just yet, but let’s just say there are quite the stories to come. BUT I’m sitting here, watching Julie & Julia, with the absolute queen Meryl Streep playing one of the titular characters, Julia Child. In…
So two years ago, I posted this post. I was scanning through my blog posts the other day, found it, and decided to do another one! It’s kind of a fun thing to do now and again, and it works, because it’s still February…literally just for today. Maybe I’ll start posting this monthly, but I…
This post is literally titled Pineapples just because I really love the new photo I found for my blog. Yes, it’s fairly springy / summery, but I don’t care, I love pineapples! Did you know they are the international symbol for hospitality? When sailors of old would come back from a long voyage on the sea, they…
Here it is, 11:04 at night – I really should be in bed as I have a full day tomorrow starting with an early morning fitness marshall workout, BUT, as I was cleaning out my car (more on that in a second), I realized that I needed to write. Honestly, I have the motivation to…
It’s the end of 2017, so naturally a time when everyone reflects on the past year and makes goals for 2018. From year to year, sometimes I make them and sometimes I don’t, but this year I’m the former. It’s also been probably my best year in recent memory. 2017 was a year where I…
