In need of a good laugh? Looking for some open and honest discussions about navigating your twenties and life after college? Or maybe you are searching for a new hobby or self-care method. It’s possible you might just be bored and this is where you ended up.
Regardless of how you got here, welcome! While I am still learning how (struggling) to build a website, here you can find all of my blog posts.
You might find anecdotes about my psycho dog, hilarious family, and straight-up outta pocket work stories. Or you might find advice on how to set boundaries and maintain healthy relationships with the people that matter most to you. And as a reminder, this is a shared space so I encourage you to share your stories with me – I am always down to rofl (roll on the floor laughing, learned this one from my mom) or shed a few tears about something that tugs on the heart strings.
Recent blog posts can be found below and older posts can be found in the archives tab — happy reading.

Dear sun, where’d you go?
November 3, 2024, was a terrible day for those of us who thrive in the sunshine and crumble during the depths of winter. For some of us (me), day light savings is the bane of our existence. The sun begins to set earlier, and we start to think its 11pm when really, it’s 5:30pm. On…

But…

Welcoming mess!
In high school my room was notoriously messy. Clothes covered the floor, homework was all over the place, and I could never find my car keys. Over the years I have gotten much better at keeping my space clean because it helps me keep my mind at ease. I make my bed every morning and…

Slowing down & rushing less.
Greetings friends! I hope all is well in this new month of October. I kept writing 09/01/24 for the date at work this past week so my mind is still in September mode. I find the transition from a one-digit to a two-digit month can be tricky for the brain. For those of you who…

Fall is here, there’s a lump in my throat, & why is it so hard to set boundaries at work?
The leaves are changing colors, and the pumpkin spice girlies (including my boyfriend) are out in full force! Except for the reduced sunlight during the fall months, this season is probably my favorite. The cool air offers a nice break from the sweltering heat of summer and makes being outside more enjoyable. There is so…
