Oh my goodness, it has been a while since I’ve sat down and actually written a blog post! This is going to be the first of many posts in my quest to catch up on everything and get back into the routine of writing. It has been a crazy few months! I have spent all [...]
'Tis the season for gorgeous Christmas Cards! Last year I sent out Christmas Cards for myself in order to share my new address with friends and family. I loved getting to send out these cards and receiving a few back to display on the front of my fridge. This year, I wanted to send out [...]
We are now at the halfway point of our trip and I’m so sad about it. It’s fun to escape work for a little bit and also rediscover my love for this amazing city as the life has come back to it post-COVID. We didn’t have much planned for this day, so it was actually [...]
Day 2 of our trip and my feet were already feeling all the walking we did the day before! Luckily, I did bring a pair of shoes that I had worn all the time when I lived in New York City. I wore them today and pretty much for the rest of the trip. We [...]

Happy Monday y'all! I know I shouldn't be living for the weekend, but I have so many exciting things planned for this weekend that I just can't wait for. We are going down to Baton Rouge for the first time in about six months. It's crazy how a place I used to go to all [...]
It's a two for one special! I owe y'all a weekly roundup from last week, so I decided to combine it with this week's post.
