The dishwasher and the misadventures of Anna… There I was, 2: 00 am and most likely another hour to go. I was exhausted and felt like I was having an emotional breakdown. Perhaps I was. I was tired from a long day of work, mommy duties, and around midnight, my dishwasher decided to start leaking…

Cool weather, oh how I have missed you! Sleeping with my upstairs windows open is one of my favorite things ever. This morning,  I was able to enjoy a quiet morning and afternoon on my little patio enjoying my coffee, my dog #LittleCharles, and listening to some of my favorite tunes. I hope the days…

I have truly missed writing for my blog. To all of my friends & followers who reached out to me, I am hoping to be back on a regular schedule soon. So that brings me to my first post in a while. Today has been a MUSIC kind of day. Tonight, my house is LOUD!  I…

The #AdventureGirls have been on the move again.  We recently spent another fabulous week in Florida. We like to call it our “annual pilgrimage” to visit my favorite friend in the world and to spend time with my amazing family. It was just what the doctor ordered (minus some work hours I had to put…

And just like that, I have a 9 year old! She celebrated her birthday this past week and could not be more excited to be the Big 9! This girl, she is truly the LOVE of my life. God truly blessed me with her and he knew that she was exactly what I needed as…

Yup, judge me all you want on this choice, but this is my jam today. When this song comes on, I am instantly HAPPY. I can run a little longer, I move in my work chair, I blast the radio in my car, and it’s inevitable that I will dance with my #LittleLove and pup wherever…

Thank you for all of the special day wishes I received this week. They truly meant so much to me. I had such a wonderful weekend stay in Atlanta at The Georgian Hotel.  I had a chance to relax on a rooftop pool in midtown and enjoy the beautiful weather, pool, views, and spend some…

To all of the mothers out there, HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY! Today’s reflection: I am so blessed to have been raised by a woman whose heart was bigger than I could have ever asked for. Her amazing cooking fueled my soul growing up…oh the cooking!  She inspired me daily to be a better person. I can…

There are weeks when everything falls into place. There are weeks that throw you for a loop. There are weeks that leave you with noisy unwanted thoughts in your head because you are waiting on that closure. I will admit, it has been a rough few days. So on this Sunday, I woke up early…

The TV show Suits (my current Amazon Prime binge) brought me to this song. I had to pause the episode and find the song online. Yup, story of my life. I sometimes find myself pausing in the middle of shows, stores, chores, drives, etc because of music and it happens more than you would think. …

A modern-day woman with a Jane Austen period state of mind? This weekend, I came across an adult who simply forgot their basic manners. You know, saying “thank you,” being friendly, being polite and so on… So while enjoying my weekend coffee, I started thinking, what happened to basic…

When we talk about attraction and the things that bring people together, shared values and common interests top the list of positive attraction factors. However, we will also have individual passions. While you may love to cook together, travel together, attend festivals together… there will always be different passions, hobbies, and things that may not be…
