Hello lovelies! I hope the past few weeks have been kind to you. Although my break from blogging was unscheduled, it was exactly what I needed. The Mister and I had a chilly, but very fun trip to Ohio for Christmas, and a quiet party of two at home for New Year’s. It was truly the perfect ending to 2011. My heart is filled with love and gratitude…
I love Christmas music. As soon as we were finished with our Thanksgiving leftovers, I started pulling together mixes and new stations on Pandora. There’s something about holiday tunes that gets me in the spirit and lifts my mood. I’ll have this list playing in the background while finishing up our Christmas cards, wrapping gifts and baking cookies…
Today is the introduction of a new project called Good Eats & Gratitude. An exercise steeped in mindfulness, a series of posts recognizing what feeds us. Musings on two elements that are vital to a happy existence — food nourishes the body, gratitude nourishes the soul…
Happy 27th birthday, Mister! This past year was an eventful journey. You encountered happiness and sorrow. You experienced joy and anger. You kept your sense of humor and displayed remarkable courage. I watched as you pursued your goals, slayed evil dragons, and unpacked boxes…
My dad is one of the most important people in my life. He’s been there for me through thick and thin—and as I’ve grown up, our relationship has evolved. He taught me that incredible things would come if I believed in myself and worked really, really hard. We are closer now than we’ve ever been. I know I can call him when I need advice or a shoulder to cry on…
This was a long week. I don’t know about you, sometimes it feels like the weekend will never arrive. Then, around 4 o’clock on Friday the weekend sneaks up on me. For those of you who are celebrating, I wish you an Easter filled with joy, love and happiness. No matter what your plans might be, take a moment to do something creative…
Today is my 26th birthday! To celebrate, I have curated some sparkly inspiration on Pinterest. I’m certain you will enjoy taking a peek. Since today is a Tuesday, I have work and the usual routine on my to-do list. Since it’s my birthday, I have a fun sushi lunch date scheduled and a celebratory dinner with a few favorite people later tonight. After some well-earned birthday indulgence…
I hope you all had lovely Thanksgivings. Ours was quiet, simple and full of gratitude. It’s hard to believe that I haven’t posted here since November 21 – this might be my longest break in blogging history. I feel like quickly catching you up on all the happenings before fully diving into December & Reverb 10…
Hello my dear friends. I hope you’re starting off your week with sparkle, style and sass! Today is my mister’s 26th birthday, so I’ve been a bit busy celebrating with him. After work we went to a delicious dinner and caught up on life, work and future plans. To finish the evening, we spent some major time standing in line at the Apple store for a brand-new iPhone 4…
Happy 4th of July, friends! I hope you are enjoying beautiful weather and patriotic celebrations. This last week has been an interesting test of stamina, patience and passion. Between quarterly reviews and pulling together a presentation for a last-minute meeting, I found myself examining my strengths, areas for improvement and places to apply more focus…
