Let me start off by saying that you could walk into your hospital right now with nothing in hand, deliver your precious little human, and be completely fine. It is very easy to quickly become overwhelmed when trying to pack your “hospital bag” – I know when I started looking at some people’s hospital bags, I felt like I was never going to be prepared … Continue reading Hospital Bag
As I sit here, staring at my 32 inch computer monitor listening to 2020 Covid-19 Classroom Procedures I feel like I’m in the twilight zone. Washing hands on the hour, TVs in the lunch room because there is NO talking, and realizing that come September 8th my room won’t be filled with little humans bustling with excitement – instead I’ll do my best to share … Continue reading Covid Classroom
Traveling has always been such a big part of Shane and I’s life that after not traveling for so long this trip was 100 percent exactly what we needed. We booked this trip on January 2nd, so you could say we booked this trip on a whim and a little bit of liquid courage, BUT it ended up being incredible. For anyone reading this who … Continue reading Cancun, Mexico: Majestic Elegance Costa Mujeres All Inclusive Resort
About 6 months ago, I wrote a blog post about Shane and I’s “Covid Honeymoon” phase.. I talked all about our struggles and how I expected the first year of marriage to have it’s ups and downs but I never expected it to be a FULL BLOW rollercoaster, or at least not a DAMN PANDEMIC. But here we are, six months later and that post … Continue reading Hold On
Gift giving is HARD – and it is especially hard to give gifts to humans that you don’t know on a super personal level.. like TEACHERS. As a teacher, I appreciate just being recognized and love by my students but I did have a BUNCH of people asking for recommendations for the teachers in their lives. So, let me preface this by saying DO NOT … Continue reading Teacher Gift Guide
*I preface this post by saying go listen to “People Need People” by Maddie & Tae, preferably while you read through this. I had planned on posting my Dill Egg Salad today but things changed. Isn’t that something we are all too used to these days… “things changing”? Mental health has been a high traffic topic of discussion lately and for very good reasons. It … Continue reading Humans Need Humans
December 28th, 2019 – Shane and I had just returned from our honeymoon CRUISE, yes, I said CRUISE. We quite possibly could’ve been one of the last cruises that wasn’t affected by Covid-19. You could say we were definitely on a “honeymoon” high – recently married, new house, new jobs… life was good. January hit and we were finally getting into the “flow” of everyday … Continue reading Cue the Covid “Honeymoon” Phase
Alright, so here it is – I worked at Nordstrom while living in Raleigh, North Carolina. I was obsessed with being the top seller every single month – I studied all the brands back and fourth and made sure I knew the answer to every single questions that I got asked. When it comes to the Anniversary Sale, I find it extremely helpful to have … Continue reading Nordstrom Anniversary Sale
December 7th, 2019 was hands down the most perfect day I could have ever dreamed up – everything was exactly how it was supposed to be… even if it wasn’t. Meaning that everything didn’t go exactly as planned – but it went exactly how it was meant to. Take it from someone who is EXTREMELY detail-oriented, someone who spent hours planning everything down to the … Continue reading Winter Wedding Wonderland
