When You're Thinking About Your Momma
Mother’s Day is tomorrow! I am not a mother but I still know it’s a special day. The thing I often struggled with when I was younger, though, is that it’s not a special day for me. I am still guilty of being in that mindset where I really don’t...

My Favorite Items for Spring
Spring means variable temperatures, frigid mornings, sunny afternoons, chilly rains, hot afternoons, and the precarious balance one must find in clothing. My biggest struggle in spring is actually three big struggles: how do I limit the exposure of my incredibly pale legs, how do I stay warm enough in the...
Want to Unplug?

7 Great Things to Try This Week
Monday Wake Up an Hour Earlier Than Usual I'm always surprised at the outcome of my day when I decide to wake up earlier, to give myself a little bit more time. Sure, hearing the alarm go off at 5:30 instead of 6:30 is painful, but a productive morning makes...

Responsibilities
Oh the struggles of an adult life. Not actual struggles, mind you, but goodness sometimes they feel like it. This week has been a multitude of work, money, and household stress and that inevitably comes with a frustratingly stubborn conviction that I should be lazy. Great time for it, right?...

Gift Giving... For Yourself
The season of giving to others is now over. Now is the season where we typically look inward. We still write lists, but this time those lists are about how we want the next year to look for us. What we want to change or what we hope to gain....
Fighting the Winter Blues
Winter is seen as one of the more depressing seasons, even with the joy the holidays tend to bring. But gray weather, the inability to spend long amounts of time outside, the sometimes constant chill can bear down on our emotions. I've caught the winter blues a few times now,...
