I have been meaning to share these pictures for almost two years now but somehow never got around to it. In August of 2018, David and I took a week long vacation to explore a bit more of the east coast states. Our plan was to visit Chicago, Louisville and Nashville and whatever we encountered … Continue reading Exploring the U.S.

Working From Home (And My Newest Venture)
I do have to preface this post to say how grateful I am to still have a job throughout this ordeal. I work in the hospitality industry, which has been the hardest hit, but the company I work for, although the physical building is closed, their call center is still open and that’s my department. … Continue reading Working From Home (And My Newest Venture)
A Great Soul

It kind of feels like Iron Chef where I have to find the main ingredient and then work around that. Some of the main … Continue reading Days of Baking

For the most part my fixes have included a piece or two that I’ve ended up keeping, but I’ve never been thrilled with everything in the … Continue reading My Best Stitch Fix Yet
Changes
I’ve had this page open to edit for a few weeks now, ever since I returned back to work. But between making dinners and making sure my daughter doesn’t cough on her brother (she’s getting over a cold), I haven’t had the chance to write! And I want to! I realize that I do go … Continue reading Changes

Now that I’m on my maternity leave, I wanted to get a chance to actually be a … Continue reading An Evening At Encore
