Let Me Plan Your Next Trip…

Life Travel

As many of you may know, I have a deep passion for travel, and I absolutely love planning vacations. There’s nothing I enjoy more than matchmaking someone’s vacation vision with the perfect property and destination. I’ve long toyed with the idea of turning this hobby into something that allows me to share my passion with others so I’m pumped to have made this career leap! In 2022, I joined a host travel agency, and completed their training and certification program.…

Deviated Septum Surgery

Life

I got a couple of requests to write a post about my surgery – it seems many people are struggling with grinding their teeth (hello pandemic stress) or are debating surgery. I’ve been grinding, well clenching my teeth for a couple of years now. I have the specialty mouth guard from my dentist and it helps in general, but the clenching got much worse in recent years. I mentioned the concern to my dentist and she referred me to a…

House Update

Life

We’ve been in our house 3 months now and are making slow progress on decor – it feels like there’s no time for house stuff with the kiddos, but I tell myself that we will be here a long time and don’t have to be ‘finished’ any time soon. Emerson’s room never looks this clean, ha. We did a wallpaper accent wall in her room with some old Serena & Lily wallpaper I got on clearance last year. I hope…

Sea Island Vacay

Kids Life Travel

I’m finally getting around to writing a post about our trip to The Cloister at Sea Island! When we first booked this trip, we dreamed of a post-covid, vaccinated vacation where we could return to normalcy. We used Meg to find the hotel and book the trip, and decided to splurge a little bit since we haven’t stayed at a hotel/resort in 18 months! Little did we know that Delta would rear it’s ugly head. We debated cancelling many times,…

Life Weekends

Man, I really feel like life has been happening to me lately rather than feeling any sense of control. I can’t keep up! I’m really looking forward to finishing up work and reclaiming my evening time again. Despite the chaos, we’ve been doing lots of fun things since getting our vaccines!! We’ve gone out to dinner three times and it’s amazing! Spending one-on-one time with Matt and having a break from cooking, cleaning, and bedtime is so essential for my…

Cats Life

Meet Chester! We’ve been toying with the idea of getting a cat for a while (wish we had done it earlier in the pandemic!). I grew up with cats (I can count 6 during my 22 years) and knew I’d like one, but wasn’t sure how the girls would do. And Matt has never had a pet! We started looking around and talking to some of the local rescues. Turns out, it’s hard to find a cat that’s a good…

Spring Skincare & Makeup Refresh

Life

I thought it might be fun to share some spring favorites since the annual Friends & Family sale is coming up soon. Sign up for my newsletter if you’d like to be notified when it starts. First Date Lipstick – this is the perfect pink lipstick for spring. I’m not a huge lipstick person, but I may have to pull this one out for re-entry into the world (fingers crossed) or my first real date with Matt at an outdoor…

Thoughts from a Thursday

Life Thursday Thoughts

-I was late to the game with Schitt’s Creek, but I’m loving it. -I’m so excited that it’s warm enough to eat outside again!! We are SOO close to getting vaccinated and I cannot wait to have some date nights – we did get to go to the outdoor food hall when my mom was here last week. – I’ve been really liking Nourish Move Love workouts lately although I’m having a hard time finding time to workout these days.…

Hello!

Life

I can’t believe it’s been almost two month’s since I’ve written a post! It’s on my to-do list almost every week and here we are. I’ve been a bit overwhelmed with trying to balance school psychology work with cleaning, kids, cooking, Beautycounter, and all the things. I never thought I could been this busy while barely leaving my house:) While I’m enjoying being back in the school psychologist world and using my brain for something different, it’s also distracting me…
