A long weekend leaf peeping in Vermont

A long weekend leaf peeping in Vermont

This year for our two-year wedding anniversary, my husband James and I decided to take a long weekend getaway to Vermont. Known for its stunning fall foliage, quaint towns, and picturesque landscapes, we thought it would be the perfect backdrop for our celebration and we had been planning this trip for pretty much the entirety of our marriage. While some parts of the trip exceeded our expectations, others were a bit of a letdown. But in the end, it was still a perfect anniversary escape and that’s truly all that matters - and it made for a great story…

An Updated Top Ten Travel Bucket List - Five Years Later

An Updated Top Ten Travel Bucket List - Five Years Later

I’ve been feeling the itch to write lately, but honestly, I haven’t had a whole lot to write about.

Things are slow, but steady in my life. I have zero things to complain about, but I have don’t have anything super exciting to celebrate at the moment either.

But I was doing a little maintenance around my site today and I stumbled back upon and old post I titled “Top 10 Travel Bucket List,” which I had completely forgotten about. I haven’t looked at since I wrote it back in early 2019 - four years ago. Upon reviewing it, I noticed that a few of the places I’d gotten to visit since then! And a few more of them that I’ve lost interest in visiting for one reason or another; so, I thought it might be fun to write out an updated list. If only just to help myself keep track of where I should book next. 😉

I'm in my Swiftie-Minecraft-Volvo-Hunger Games “era” and I’m loving every minute of it.

It’s a new year and maybe it’s the Sagittarius in me, or maybe I was just born with it, but that’s the perfect excuse to reinvent myself, yet again. 😏😏 And for me, that means a whole slew of new fixations that will become my entire personality for an extended period of time. I’ve seen the trend going around online of people making their ins and outs list, and while I feel like that’s a bit played out, I have been thinking about my current ins a lot lately; so much so that some of my current obsessions are legit keeping me awake at night.

For the first time in along time, I feel like I'm where I'm supposed to be. It's the strangest feeling to try and describe to someone who doesn't know what you're talking about, but those who get it, get it.

They Got Me (Ordering *Trendy* Clothes from MissPap for the First Time)

They Got Me (Ordering *Trendy* Clothes from MissPap for the First Time)

I’ll be the first to admit that I’m a sucker for a social media ad or an influencer sponsorship and I don’t even mind. Some of my FAVORITE purchases of all time have come from some Instagram girly or some random brand account somewhere serving me an ad - and this impulse purchase was no different.

A long-overdue life update of the last eight months!

A long-overdue life update of the last eight months!

Holy shit - saying it’s been a minute since my last update would be the understatement of the damn century.

Apologies, friends. Life got away with me there for a bit. But I can say that unlike in previous years, I was distracted by happy life changes, not tragic ones - what a nice change of pace, eh?

But here I am - armed with my rainbow emotional support water bottle; I’m ready to dive right in.
