  • …. so someone got married today?

    Source: allposters.com via Suzanne on Pinterest I’m back in NYC this weekend to spend some time with friends and perhaps do a bit of celebrating / reconnecting / relaxing / eating / drinking …. you get the picture. As I write this, I’ve been awake for 5 hrs since I woke up to watch the…

    Bucket Lists aren't supposed to be easy

    Source: motherlanddesign.blogspot.com via Emily on Pinterest I can’t remember at what point I started to write down my list of “life to do items”. I’m a big list maker and so at some point it just seemed illogical to not be writing these things down. As you can see from reading other parts of this…

  • Pants free since '93

    Pants free since '93

    Ok, not since ’93 but I like things that rhyme. Back in the Fall, I gave up wearing pants. Pants to work, I guess I should be more specific. It has made my traveling life a lot easier since I only have to pack 4 dresses instead of trying to figure out what goes with…

    Oh, how I love gifts from the ocean!

    Source: google.com via Jennifer on Pinterest The arrival of spring and porch season has also brought me thoughts of summer and beach walks.

  • Happy (fluffy) Easter

    It can’t be a bad day when the weather is 73 and sunny …. and baby chicks show up at your doorstep. Another great part about Easter Sunday… porch season was back in full swing. We sat on the back porch and ate some tasty monkey bread that I made for breakfast. I’m not sure…

  • travel

    I miss the train.

    I miss the train. A lot. This week I have to work out of nowheresville Pennsylvania and as a result i have to fly. This makes my life infinitely more complicated. All of the glorious reasons I love train do not apply to flying. For example, I had to get up super early in order…

  • Family + Future

      It’s been two weeks since I’ve been home and man it feels good. My own bed! All of my sweatpants! Ice cubes! Okay… okay… Despite being in NYC this week, I did manage to see family. My dad and little brother were in town for Boy Scout trip and so I went to meet…

    Giggles = Needed

    In the event you are in need of a giggle this hump day, I stumbled upon this video of a baby penguin… being …. tickled. And yes, it is as cute as you would expect it to be. Quick update? I had a really great weekend in NYC with my friend Ria and other new…
