Hi, I took last Monday off because we went on vacation to Maine. What an incredible trip we had! We kind of planned it last minute because we couldn’t figure out whether we wanted to go to the beach or switch it up and go somewhere new. We both have always dreamt of going north […]

The past couple of years I have recognized a deep fear of mine and I have learned that it is actually a common fear amongst many. Especially those with similar personality types as me, or even those in similar life seasons & age. I have a fear of being stuck.

Hi friend, Being back on the blog is pretty fun. I’m in a much different season of life and even the internet is no longer the same. I felt like I was brushing away the imaginary dust on my favorite journal to get back into reading what I wrote in the past and seeing there […]
