Weekends are the BEST - I think we can all agree on that. I love to make plans for what I’m going to do and accomplish with my two days off, whether it be seeing a show with my mom, a weekend trip to Alabama, or literally just staying in my pjs and reading all day long. But it’s the weekend and I can do what I want! No matter how fantastic the days went or how rested I feel, a knot always starts forming in my stomach at about 5pm on Sunday. Dread that the weekend is over, anxiety at my seemingly …

5 Ways to Thrift Like a Pro
In my family, the tv in the living room is always on for background noise. If no one’s actually watching something, then you can probably find it on one of three channels: Food Network, HGTV, or ION (NCIS and Criminal Minds reruns alllllways).

I have big goals for the year, and I definitely keep finding myself with a sense of anxiety at the growing to-do list of things …
The Christmas Songs I’ve Had On Repeat This Year
I LOVE Christmas music. If it wasn’t completely socially unacceptable, I really think I would listen to it all year long… There’s just something about this season with the lights and the music and the spirit that everyone takes on. So of course, I have the ultimate Christmas playlist created on Spotify that includes 369 songs, almost 24 hours worth of music, and probably 35 different versions of White Christmas. I won’t share THAT with you (although I’m happy to point you in the right …
October 2017 Reads
“I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers”. - Anne of Green Gables Anne of Green Gables is one of my top-ten favorite books of all-time (although that list changes more frequently than you would think)! The language is beautiful and humorous and all-around so happy to read. I read it while on a trip with my mom to San Antonio, and I would have to stop every five minutes to read something out loud. Although I didn’t re-read this classic in October, that quote is one of my …
