Happy New Year all! I hope you had a cozy winter break. Ours was good. I definitely felt sad at points - we ended up not going on our camping trip (which was the right decision) and we missed our families. I think the night before my brother's birthday made me the saddest, since I… Continue reading Happy 2021

Mildly Optimistic
Hello friends! I hope you are safe and well. It's hard to believe it's almost the end of August. I am currently in the midst of another August 31st deadline (how is it nearly the end of another fiscal year?!) I had a pretty long work week this past week, and have to get to… Continue reading Mildly Optimistic
New Weekend Routines
Happy Sunday friends! I hope you all had a nice weekend. Yesterday was Husband's birthday. I made him a special birthday dinner of baked chicken (coated in spicy breadcrumbs, yummm), Parmesan and spinach orzo, and a cake! Side note, I have not baked a cake in forever, so it came out dry and the frosting… Continue reading New Weekend Routines
Snippets of Fall
Happy Saturday, friends! Yesterday was the "growing pains" sort at work, and I felt frustrated about it well into the evening, feeling frustrated at myself for not knowing more than I do. I woke up feeling a little better this morning. Thank you all for your comments on my last post! I rested a lot… Continue reading Snippets of Fall
Slowing Down
Hello friends! I need to find a better blogging schedule now that I get to work earlier. I just find myself so tired when I get home from work. Lately I haven't had a lot of time to work on projects. I also felt a lot of fatigue this week, and woke up with a… Continue reading Slowing Down
Easing Into Fall

Usually on Sundays I like doing laundry and wrapping up my chores, but this morning I. have. done. nothing. I'm not going to lie. This picture was totally posed ~for the… Continue reading Easing Into Fall
A Quick Update So I’m Not Late
Hi friends! Hope you had a nice weekend. Ours was great - it was warm and sunny. We spent a decent amount of time outside - walked on South Congress Saturday afternoon and at a park Sunday. I hadn't been back to South Congress in a long time, and it's changed a LOT. It bums… Continue reading A Quick Update So I’m Not Late
Why Is It Still Winter?
Good morning friends! I hope you are doing well! The weather has been really gross here lately - raining and in the 30-40s. The weather was lovely the weekend before - warm, hints of sun. I went for a hike with friends and didn't have to wear a jacket. I went for a run last… Continue reading Why Is It Still Winter?
Update – Fighting a Cold with MITTENS
Hi friends! At least it's the middle of January now. Ergh, January. I first saw this cartoon a couple of years ago, but this sums up how I move through the month pretty well: We had a couple of days last week where the weather was sunny and in the 70s - I felt great!… Continue reading Update – Fighting a Cold with MITTENS
A Cozy Weekend and Squishy Blanket Makes
This weekend I had a hard time studying. I studied for 3 hours on Saturday and 3.5 hours Sunday. The weather was rainy and cozy this weekend, and though this should have helped me get more into study mode, I really wanted to be doing other things. We did a little bit of shopping on… Continue reading A Cozy Weekend and Squishy Blanket Makes
