goodbye, July!

You guys, it’s August. Can you even believe it?! I’m not sure how I feel about it yet. As previously mentioned, this summer has been chockful of travel and adventures and fun (and bouts of illness), so it has sped by in all the best ways. Fortunately, I still don’t feel myself urging fall to… Continue reading

this week #67

Hello from a very smokey Arlington! Wildfire smoke from Canada has descended onto our area and it is horrific outside. Last time I checked, the AQI was over 230. I could tell it’d be bad from the moment I opened our shutters this morning and the light wasn’t quite right. Nonetheless, I’ve had a pretty… Continue reading

West Virginia Weekend

Another summer weekend away from home! I am loving it. This season has been jam-packed with all kinds of travel and activities. I’m not complaining! This weekend’s edition was a slightly spontaneous trip to (my favorite place) West Virginia. A few weeks back, Derek texted us asking if we all wanted to go to West… Continue reading

A Few Days in the Life

Happy Monday! We had the most gorgeous day today and I could not be happier. I’m a little embarrassed to share this because I should’ve worn sunscreen, but I have a minor sunburn! That’s how you know spring is on its way. I simply could not stay indoors today. Anyway, I’ve been slacking at sitting… Continue reading

snaps from life

I opened the curtains before I sat down to have lunch on Friday. It was a beautiful and sunny day, I had made a delicious lunch, and I was looking forward to enjoying a break from work. I ended up snapping a photo of my lunch because the light was just right and it was… Continue reading

I have had all sorts of ideas and thoughts circulating in my head lately, but no real umph to make decisions or execute on any of them. This is unusual for me as I normally pride myself on being a very decisive, action-oriented person. The current list in my head isn’t all that important though!… Continue reading

Wild and Wonderful West Virginia Weekend

It might already be Thursday but I am still thinking about this weekend. We drove out to West Virginia on Friday for the long weekend and I took Tuesday off to extend things. We changed it up this year and went to Elkins, WV, a significantly less touristy town than Davis or Thomas. Our Airbnb… Continue reading

this week #47

Hello and happy Monday! I don’t know about you, but I had a wonderful weekend. It was fun and active and adventurous, and now I am having one of those Mondays where sitting at a desk with a big cup of coffee doesn’t feel half bad. Can you believe it’s going to be October this… Continue reading

Greenbelt Adventure Run
Holy guacamole guys. I just had so much fun! Yesterday I headed to the Greenbelt here in ATX for a trail run, but I was getting eaten up by mosquitoes so I called it quits after only 1.8 miles. So today I headed there again covered head to toe in sunscreen and bug spray (welcome… Continue reading

#5 // Catching Up
So I made a bucket list. It’s not a “Things I want to do before I die” kind of bucket list. It’s just a list of things I want to do that will make me happy. Things that make me appreciate and fully live and enjoy my life. I’m not going to post the whole… Continue reading
