    the return of reusable coffee cups

    It’s time to fully bring back the reusable coffee cup. I’m sure this is nothing new for many people, but I don’t think I’ve regularly used a reusable coffee mug when out and about since pre-COVID! And I specifically mean bringing a reusable cup to a coffee shop when ordering a drink out, not just Continue reading

    Happy snow day! The winter storm sweeping parts of America finally reached us last night and so far we’ve gotten about 7 inches of snow! It is so cozy and pleasant. This morning I peeked outside to check on the snowfall and the Christmas lights made everything look extra beautiful. This weekend was freezing too, Continue reading

    Juliana’s Draft 2025 Goals

    Happy almost New Year! I don’t know about you, but I absolutely love this time of year. I know there are so many memes about the week between Christmas and New Year feeling weird and mushy and timeless and I get it! That said, I’ve always appreciated the energy of the new year and I Continue reading

    Merry almost Christmas! Wow wow wow, how this month has flown by! I was basically traveling for two weeks (for work and then for fun) and it sure did eat up much of December. I am excited for Christmas and the new year, though. How are you hanging in?  I was just telling Patrick that Continue reading

    What’s new?

    Has anyone asked you that question lately? “What’s new?” I have such a hard time answering it. Life has been pretty calm and pleasant, even when it’s not perfect, so I’m realizing how often I used to respond to that question with whatever latest insanity had been going on in my life. Nowadays, I struggle Continue reading

    this week #20

    Hey there! Long time no see. I sat down to write a few times over the last two weeks and felt uninspired. I’ll think of something that I want to write about and then I’ll stall out after a few paragraphs. Maybe I’ve gone too deeply into hibernation mode. For the last two weeks, I Continue reading

    Hello and happy Wednesday! I missed doing this last week, but can you blame me? It’s been busy! I ran the Richmond Marathon this weekend with Erica and it was a blast. The weather was truly 10/10. Patrick ran the half marathon in a blazing time of 1:33. I can’t even fathom it! All in Continue reading

    Sooo, it’s really been a week (plus some), hasn’t it?! Wow. How’s everyone doing?  I woke up at 1:30 am on Wednesday, November 6, checked the news, and then couldn’t fall asleep for an hour because history was repeating itself and I felt sick. When I woke up again at 6:30, the race had officially Continue reading

    this week #18

    Hello and happy Monday! It’s going to be quite the week, isn’t it? I never got around to writing one of these last week, so I figured I’d get a head start this week. Is anyone else on the verge of an absolute meltdown? DC is sort of a ghost town right now. Driving into Continue reading

  • 80%, baby

    There are a lot of articles out there on how to make habits. Like, a lot. There’s scientific research on habit formation, there’s expansion on habits versus routines, there’s step by step guides on making micro-changes in your life, and so on and so forth. It all seems pretty interesting and useful and slightly intense. Continue reading
