I Will Never Have the Best Year of My Life

Me with my mom on my wedding day

When I graduated high school, my friend Matt was the valedictorian. In his class address, he said that our four years together were good, but they weren’t the best years of our life. The best years were yet to come. It was a good speech. At the time, I didn’t have much to compare it… [Read More]

Dan and I just got back from a leisure/business trip to Orlando. He has a conference there every spring, and we usually arrive early to enjoy a mini vacation. This year we spent a day at EPCOT before the conference began. Then I worked from our hotel room all week while Dan attended the conference…. [Read More]

Guest Bedroom Makeover | One Room Challenge Week One

I’ve been aware of the One Room Challenge for years. It’s so popular that my best friend (who isn’t a blogger) even participated several years ago. I’m not really a home decor blogger–but my photo archives for blog post ideas are filled with home projects. I’ve never done a big room makeover before, so I… [Read More]

Reading has always been my favorite hobby. Ever since the pandemic started in 2020, I’ve leaned into reading, hard, as the best form of self-care. According to Goodreads, I’ve read more new books during the last three years than I ever did before. 66 books (23,532 pages) in 2020 68 books (23,111 pages) in 2021… [Read More]

The Writing Job I Didn’t Know I Wanted

On March 10, 2022, I received an unexpected email from LinkedIn. Normally Gmail sorts these into my Social tab, which I clear out a few times a week. But this email made it into my regular inbox… And the subject line intrigued me. “SEO Copywriter & Content Optimization Manager for Top 3 in Industry” I… [Read More]

Sexual Harassment on the Frozen Foods Aisle

Back image of a white woman wearing a heavy coat. Text overlay reads: Sexual Harassment is Not Okay

You are so gorgeous. The words hit me quickly, quietly. Panic rose up in my throat even as I kept pushing my cart down the aisle. My heart racing, my anxiety spiking, an adrenaline rush of fear–all in a split second, before my mind could even process. Did that just happen? I immediately started second-guessing… [Read More]
