**This post was originally scheduled to go up on Monday!** Last week I was tagged by Kristi to participate in the My Writing Process blog tour. Kristi is a fellow Phoenix blogger who shares my love of books and writing. She’s also an inspiring business owner! Thanks to this blog tour, we’ve realized that we live super […]
Tidbits and Treats
Happenings (viii)
1. I turned 27 back on May 9. Similar to last year, part of my birthday weekend was spent in St. Louis, where I had the chance to spend some time with my Grandma Gige. We attended an early afternoon showing of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, which was really good. I watched Ace Young’s […]
Books in Review: April
Can it really be the fifth month of the year already? No complaints here! May is one of my favorites, and not just because it happens to be the month I was born. The air smells amazing, the sky is brighter and the temperature inside a sun-soaked car feels like a warm blanket rather than a sub-zero freezer or, in the case […]
Mountain Match Play
March madness has given way to absurd April! I’ve been juggling a lot of work deadlines during the first couple weeks of the month, but a bit of a breather could maybe – hopefully – be in sight, at least for the upcoming holiday weekend. It hasn’t been all work, no play, though! The first […]

The fourth-generation, family owned and operated company out of Plymouth, Wisconsin has a great story and a farm-to-fork philosophy, using […]

Six years and 913 posts later, it still amazes me that a pretty lame post about baby kiwi written anonymously from a college student’s apartment could kickstart a journey that has lasted nearly a quarter of my life. A journey that has […]
A Pinterest-ing Weekend in Chicago
Yep – we did it again. 🙂 To say this has been a busy couple of weeks would be an understatement. I’ve taken on several new freelance projects, and while I’m really enjoying the work, the days are flying by faster than ever. It hasn’t been all work, though. Last weekend I had the chance […]
Two Pairs Of Socks
Why do golfers wear two pairs of socks? In case they get a hole in one! (Cheesiest joke ever to be told on here? I make no promises.) It took nearly 27 years and what I would estimate to be thousands of attempts, but last Saturday the big “one” finally happened for me, and it was […]
