Happy (Good) Friday! Hugh and I are on our way Up North to spend the holiday weekend with my family. It’s been so long since I’ve done a Friday Five, but I’m back! I kept my list going even when I wasn’t blogging, so I may need to do a catch-up Friday Fifteen or something […]

You know when you wait to call someone back or follow up on something at work and the longer you wait, the more awkward it gets? That has been me and this blog. The longer I went without writing a post, the more I felt like I had to explain the break and the more […]

20 Things I Learned in 2020

What a year! A global pandemic. Postponing our wedding, planning a minimony and getting married. New jobs and our first house. 2020 will be a year I never forget. We’re in Kansas City/St Louis visiting family and friends this week, so I haven’t been as focused on reflecting on this past year as I usually […]

Friday Five – Things I’m Loving #52

I’m back! It’s been quite a while since I’ve blogged or shared a Friday Five.

I’ve learned so many new terms in 2020. “Social distancing.” “TikTok.” And now “minimony” (which stands for “mini ceremony”). Unlike a microwedding (a full-blown wedding, just with a very short guest list), a minimony is a vow exchange followed by a sequel wedding. It doesn’t include all the wedding things like the decor, first dance, […]

I think I’m finally recovered from my mini Bachelorette party this weekend. We had a tiki boat for a couple hours, but partied most of the day – I was useless for the majority of Sunday, oops. It was so much fun and a great way to kick off minimony week! And day drinking and […]

Friday Five All-Stars – Things I’m STILL Loving

Now that I’ve done 50 Friday Five posts (still blows my mind), I wanted to put together a list of the things I’m always loving.

Life Updates – July & August

Hello! It’s been a while since I’ve posted on here. I took a little break from blogging because 1. I felt like I was forcing my regular posts and would only end up doing the Friday Five post each week and 2. truthfully, I was scrolling social media a lot more during quarantine and lost […]

Friday Five – Things I’m Loving #50

#50. Wow! I can’t believe I’ve been writing these posts for almost a year. I was kind of slow to get back into the groove of things this week coming back from a week Up North. Did you struggle after the holiday weekend? It seems like I’d have the working from home thing down by […]
