Second Trimester (Weeks 25 – 27)
Happy New Year! Welcome back to my blog! The holiday season always seems to fly by, and this year was certainly no exception. These last few weeks have felt like complete chaos, as we hustled our butts off getting everything ready for Christmas, and now I'm sad the festivities are over. Not to worry though,… Continue reading Second Trimester (Weeks 25 – 27)
Happy New Year & New Decade!
It's CRAZY to think -- There are only 2 DAYS left in this entire DECADE. Yes, let that sink in – decade. In 2009, 21-year-old me was busy drinking my way through college, most worried about passing calculus and what I was going to wear to the party that weekend.  Now, in 2019, I'm a 31-year-old… Continue reading Happy New Year & New Decade!

Much like October, November was filled with lots of love and happiness!

Not to mention, Thanksgiving is truly the highlight of the month! Ashley's "Desserts with… Continue reading November Recap
Our Christmas Ornament Tradition
Every year as I'm placing ornaments on our tree, I get a little nostalgic.  I can so vividly remember the little apartment where we celebrated our first Christmas together. We didn't have a tree so we bought a cheap one from Target - and it's still the one we use today! We had to buy… Continue reading Our Christmas Ornament Tradition
My Christmas Favorites Playlist
Good morning and Happy December 1st! I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Let's be real, I've been listening to Christmas music for the last three weeks.

I… Continue reading My Christmas Favorites Playlist

Two-Year Blogiversary
Two years ago on November 1, 2017, my very first blog post went live! I've learned quite a lot since then, and continue to learn more about the blogging world all the time. My content has shifted gears a bit, and there's always room for improvement, but I feel pretty dang proud of myself to have made… Continue reading Two-Year Blogiversary
This is 31
Happy Monday, and Happy Birthday to me! I am turning 31 today-- though not until 8:37 PM to be exact, so I guess technically I'm still 30! 😉 Last year I wrote this post recapping my twenties and the "dread" of entering my thirties. I had no idea that since then, God would throw me for… Continue reading This is 31
