Happy Friday! Not only is it Friday, but it’s Good Friday: the day that we pause to remember Jesus Christ’s crucifixion – and subsequent resurrection. And a celebration it is – Jesus died for you and me – so we can all live with the hope of Heaven! If you are curious about what this all means – I encourage…

We’ve made it to Wednesday, friends. Does this week seem like it’s gone on forever to anyone else? I’ve got a half day of work on Friday, and my in-laws are headed to Houston for Easter weekend. If I look back to this time last year, we had just said goodbye to my Soy Boy, and I was still coming…

Happy Monday, friends. I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. I’ve had worse Mondays. I’ve got no meetings on my schedule today, which only happens once in a blue moon. That means, I can have myself a really productive day without any interruptions from Zoom. I hope your Mondays are shaping up to be just as nice. I had…

Sidenote: my cousin Melissa isn’t really my twin, but we share the same birthday – I’m just one year older. But, we’ve called ourselves…

Happy Monday! I’m off work for the next couple of days for a fun little adventure. More on that later this week, though. So, I’m coming at you from my office, but I won’t be there for long.

Happy Friday to all! I’m back today for some of my favorite things from this week. But really, one of my most favorite things has been working at a manageable pace this week. The last couple of weeks really had me feeling burned out, and I’m so glad that it was just a temporary season. I hope you had some…

She’s Back + Two week digest

Happy Wednesday, ya’ll. And boy oh boy does it feel good to be back! I didn’t mean to take a hiatus, but when those 12-hour days and working on the weekend started, I needed to offload where I could to maintain my sanity. But now that I’m on the other side of that massive project, and I’ve had a chance…

This Monday morning is brought to you by lots of coffee, thanks to the time change. But, we had a fabulous little weekend over here. I’m thinking back to last night when the weather was perfect, and I had a glass of wine in hand with some Chris Stapleton playing in the background. Pretty nice Sunday evening if you ask…

Friday Favorites: Spring Break Dreaming

Happy Friday! We made it ya’ll, and that is a big accomplishment in and of itself. My week has felt approximately 500 days long 🙂 I’ve been pulling some long days, and I don’t think it’s going to slow down until March is officially over. But, like I always say, it’s so important to separate work from every day life.…

Happy Wednesday. I really hope that some of you are on a Spring Break. And, whether that means that you are having a staycation filled with relaxation – or traveling somewhere to make some new memories, I hope it’s everything you need it to be. One of the worst parts about adulting, is not having a spring break. March is…
