I get to see my best girls and favorite fam this weekend and I am so excited! We booked a last minute trip to Playa del Carmen for Memorial Day weekend and I am so excited! I gamed out some points so it’s mostly free except an expensive return flight home putting us in San…
A question I’ve been posing to myself more and more recently … Birkenstock Florida Platform sandal – a bit of a platform, three straps, and just a different vibe than the ubiquitous (and by that I mean I personally wear them EVERYWHERE despite my misgivings at buying them two years ago) Arizona sandal. But is…
A Gratitude List This is fun! There are things called WonderBlocks now in WordPress, which are fun to play with. I am grateful I am curious and continue to learn. I use ChatGPT for scrounging up new work. I use other AI tools for creation (yes I love Canva). I need to do more. I…
I’m grateful for a busy week, despite the perception of me as a current lady of leisure … … who is doing the family’s taxes, preparing for a remote car purchase out of state with registration and insurance in another state, planning a bunch of other family stuff, doing a budget—the work really never ends,…
We are throwing an engagement party I am VERY EXCITED ABOUT this weekend. It’s going to be fancy and I am excited about every bit of it, not the least of which is celebrating some of our best friends’ engagement. I get to do last minute errands tonight, and set up the house, all of…
Incredibly, our one-year wedding anniversary is coming up this Sunday. Back then, I had big plans to post all my vendors and learnings and wedding-y things on this blog, but I … didn’t. I rode horses through Guatemala instead, I guess. So without shame here are all the amazing vendors I really wanted to recognize…
There are friends that are just soul friends. Friends you’d do anything for, time be damned. I was lucky enough to spend just an afternoon with one of those a week ago, a twin flame I hadn’t seen in person in five years, and it was just magic. Fulfilling, busy, and not enough time. Then…
I am grateful for the ability to be comfortable being uncomfortable. For instance, my latest LinkedIn post: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7298488105278287884/ I am also grateful for all the comforts of home: how cozy my house is, how much I love my office, how we have a beautiful dining room table to host dinners and big fluffy couch to…
Grateful for the nitty gritty in every day experiences: Sitting outside in the sunshine in a sweater and leggings but barefoot: this is a Texas thing only, methinks. It’s a glorious, fleeting feeling. A brisk walk, just around the block, to get sunshine on my face before I start my day. Cold, crisp, not slow…
2025 is undoubtedly going to be surprising. Many of the things that happened late this year in 2024 (NOT peaceful things despite my 2024 word of peace) are setting 2025 up to be a doozy. What will happen?! NO ONE KNOWS! Least of all me! Which is fun and exciting and terrifying and requires a…
