It's finally Friday! Even though I'm not working right now I still get excited about the end of the week and that feeling the weekend gives you. So without further ado, here are the things I've been loving this week: Dunkin Donuts Coconut Coffee - I really only go to an actual Dunkin the fall... Continue Reading →
Travel Anxiety
I've talked before about my packing strategy when it comes to traveling, but in that I never mentioned the anxiety that comes with it. K brought to my attention that I leave NEXT Friday for a big trip ( I swear it was further away) and my first thought was "oh shit". Now I'm obsessively... Continue Reading →
Weekly Dose of Positivity (6.7.19)
A few weeks ago I put up a post of the Things I'm Loving Right Now. Forcing myself to think about things that actually make me happy versus the things that were stressing me out or keeping me down was definitely a mood booster for me. With that in mind, I decided to make a... Continue Reading →
House Updates
We've been in our house for close to 7 months now and there has been a slow progress on updates and renovations. With the house being so old and not well cared for, a lot of the work that needs to be done is expensive and we have to space out our projects. The first... Continue Reading →
May Books
Well May was a sloooooow book month. I read 2 books. Seriously?! I never made it to the library in May and was pretty distracted with life to get serious about reading.

I can feel the meltdown flame licking at the edges. Work has piled a lot on me lately and while typically being... Continue Reading →

There is a huge military presence in the surrounding area and majority of people who live here have some connection to one... Continue Reading →
April Books
April was a very busy book month and I was definitely using my time to read as a stress reliever. I read a few classics/standards for me, deep dived into a Nora Roberts trilogy, tried 2 that I was unsure of, and checked out 2 that were mentioned repeatedly on the Bad on Paper podcast....

Stress Relief
How do you handle stress? Everyone experiences it differently - some thrive under it and some buckle. I think I'm somewhere in between. I can handle a lot of things thrown at me, but once I reach that breaking point :: GAME OVER. There has been a lot of stuff going on this month, both... Continue Reading →
March Books
I set a goal to read 6 books in March and to not spend any money doing so. I rocked my goal and forced myself to start re-utilizing the library and their e-books. I only read 2 amazing, would recommend to anyone books but I'm also trying to branch outs and try different genres/styles so... Continue Reading →
