Do you ever feel like your morning is just one chaotic moment after the next, until you find yourself sitting in your car, coffee spilled down your shirt and ready to fast forward the whole day until 6 o’clock in the evening? ‘Cause, same. Mornings are hard enough without feeling overwhelmed before you even leave […]
When I first got my little feral kitten (who we rescued after she nearly drowned by falling in a swimming pool) she fit in the palm of my hand. Yesterday, I looked at her and realized… holy cow. WHEN did she get so HUGE. I couldn’t help but feel like a parent talking about “how […]
When I tell you I thought I was losing my gosh-dang mind, friend, I mean it. The constant yap-yap-yapping of the dogs (both mine and the neighbor’s), the messy kitchen countertop covered in coffee grounds (because coffee is exactly what I should be drinking when I’m already anxious, right?), and of course the self-induced overwhelm […]
What does burnout look like to you? Does it usually involve bursting into tears at inopportune moments over something totally random? Or maybe it looks like another day spent lying in bed staring up at the ceiling because you can’t convince yourself to roll out of bed. Or, it could even manifest itself as a […]
Okay, fun (serious?) fact about me: One of my top red flags in whether or not I should trust someone is this: If they’re not kind to animals – cats, dogs, bunnies, squirrels, the random pigeon pecking around looking for crummies – I don’t trust ’em. If someone’s mean to animals, I just automatically find […]
Okay, tell me if this sounds like you. You wake up, hit snooze like 5 times, rush out of bed, grab a granola bar or scarf down a bowl of cereal, pour your cup of coffee in a to-go cup, and dive bedhead first into your day of to-do lists and adult responsibilities. If that […]
Fall has arrived and you want to take advantage of all the magic this season has to offer, am I right? Well, same here, friend! Each year seems to go by a little faster, and this year I’m determined to soak up all the fun fall activities I never do. And I want to help […]
So it’s finally fall, and you’re so excited for all the autumn vibes. Gilmore Girls, cozy movie nights, the leaves changing color, apple cider, fuzzy socks, warm flannels and leggings, football games (which means SNACKS)… you’re ready to embrace it all! But like all things in life, the beautiful autumn season comes with its own […]
Here’s a lil secret about me, friend: I am the biggest scaredy-cat when it comes to Halloween. Always have been, always will be. When I would go to the grocery store with my mom when I was a little kid at Halloween time, there would be all these spooky and gory decorations up around the […]
I’ve been WAITING for the cozy season since mid-way through August. Which means that the moment it became September, I threw on my jeans, a light sweater, my favorite wide-brimmed hat, and went out to order a pumpkin chai latte, ready to dive into the autumn vibes. Then I immediately sweat my booty off ‘cause, […]
