Growing up, Thanksgiving was all about traditions: spending time with family, eating green bean casserole and pecan pie like it’s my job, and writing in our family notebook, that’s chronicled holidays past with funny stories, giant, sloppy kid handwriting, and many, many things to be grateful for. That’s still what Thanksgiving is about, and I will cherish these traditions and memories forever, but these days, Thanksgiving is also for celebrating time with friends! The first Friendsgiving …
Done Is Better Than Perfect
Done is better than perfect. That’s a phrase that I’ve heard used many times throughout my life, but especially in the last few months.

The music from the movies has always been my favorite part, and that naturally led me into LOVING musicals as an adult. I started seeing the …
Say Hello to Vellabox
I’m such a sucker for a thoughtful gift. I’m a very sentimental person, and so an intentional gift just gives me all the feels. This past year, my coworkers absolutely knocked it out of the park with my birthday gift and got me the gift that keeps on giving, and y’all, I’m seriously obsessed! (Like, my birthday was in October and this gift is still hanging around and making me happy!) They signed me up for Vellabox, a monthly artisan candle subscription that features a themed box each month …
