Cameron, you are my light and my world. You bring such joy to my life, and to your father’s life. You’ve changed everything, and the world is better because you are here. To you, I make a solemn vow: I will raise you right. I will raise you the best I can. I will raise […]
There seems to be a rumor in this country that Millennials are frivolous with their money. That may be true sometimes. I do get Dunkin’ Donuts. I do travel. I can confidently say I’ve never bought avocado toast. But let me just give you a quick picture of monthly expenses and let you do the […]
Tonight, I close the door on one era of my life and open another. It’s the last night of my twenties, and tomorrow I hit the dreaded 3-0 decade. So much has happened since I turned 20. So much has happened even since I started this blog four years ago. I’ve traveled four continents. Swum […]
We are a little over 1 month out from the big 3-0 birthday that this blog has been leading up to, and so much has changed over the course of 4 years. I suspected we might decide to have a child before this birthday, but even a year ago, I had started to doubt it […]
Hi everyone, Brandon and I have been discussing post-baby plans and we wanted to update any family and friends who might plan to visit our little bundle after he arrives.

Working in the industry, I’m no stranger to internet targeting. I normally don’t mind. But there’s something highly invasive that happens online when you’re pregnant; a creepy little ticker that tries to normalize the horrible things happening to your body, that’s delivered to you weekly based on your e-behavior. First, there’s the countdown. 10 Signs […]
Today, I woke up angry. Not grumpy, but angry. Brandon had fallen asleep on the couch and left the door unlocked all night after he came home from a gas station run. He was the first to get the wrath. Next was the stray cat who thinks he’s invited into our house for breakfast – how did you […]
I have never been busier. I like being busy, but there’s certainly a balance to strike. I’m booked pretty solidly as far as work through the end of the year, balancing three clients simultaneously and making sure all are feeling the love. Come January, my hours cut back a bit, which is probably a good […]
I’ve been in a pretty significant funk for the last few weeks, like many of us have. I don’t see coming out of it anytime soon.
