To me, movies can be like an old comfy sweatshirt. Maybe it’s just me, but there is something soothing in re-watching an old favorite to relax. In the fast-paced world we live in, finding a moment of rest and relaxation can be a real treasure. That’s why I cherish my collection of feel-good relaxing movies. […]

For a while, college ruined the holidays for me. Finals week always–ALWAYS–coincided with the holiday season, and usually the week right before. I spent so much time prepping for tests and then decompressing that I swear for those years, I missed Hanukkah and Christmas. Like, I knew they happened, but I completely spaced them out. […]

‘Tis the season. No, not just because of the holidays…but also because it is time for setting up a planner! It truly is the most wonderful time of the year. You know I love me a good planner (I used to even make and sell my own to make sure it was perfect!), so I […]

Today I turn 40. I’m totally OK with that. For sure. No, really. I am not freaking about it (or at least not as much as I was bugged out by turning 35. That was a hard one). If there is any qualms about rolling the odometer over into the next decade, it’s only because […]

If you have followed me on Instagram for any length of time, you know that I love musicals. This started way back in eighth grade music, and I am forever grateful for Ms. Moe for introducing me to theatre. It doesn’t really matter what level (high school, community, touring, Broadway…I love them all), it just […]

Winter foods are everything to me. My favorite winter comfort foods are found this time of year, so I am always sure to be comforted as much as I can in these short months.  I have five favorites: 1. SOUPS + CHILI I love all soup; chicken noodle and chicken wild rice are two of […]

Vacation, all I ever wanted…amirite? Today I embark on another great adventure: Inspired Retreat by Amber Housley. Three nights and four days of refreshed growth. It is going to be amazing. I have some big plans in the works–including a product and design shop dropping in less than two weeks and an educational e-book that […]

COFFEE DRINKERS, RAISE YOUR MUGS! This past Wednesday was National Coffee Day, but to me, that’s everyday. How do I like to celebrate this auspicious holiday? Five different ways… WITH CREAM AND VANILLA FLAVORING SYRUP I used to be absolutely addicted to flavored creamer; I had a whole shelf in my fridge dedicated to it. […]
