Soup Sunday | Fall Recipes on Repeat

When the temperature dips consistently below 70, I become a new woman. She’s the up at 5:45 on a Saturday, wrapped in a chunky sweater, two hands around the mug of tea kind of gal. Some kind of brunette Nicole Kidman character with a twist of Streganona. And I love her. Fall Me’s greatest strength […]

Kicking off 75 Days Hotter

Let me start by saying, I have a deep hate for 75 Hard. It sets people up to fail with crazy difficult inflexible rules and the shame they put behind having to start over is so wild to me. That and the fact that it’s pushed so heavily at the top of the year to […]

October Spooky Scary Movie Marathon

Last October I found a movie marathon on TikTok and it was the most pre-Halloween fun I’ve had since we moved into this house. This year, I took the list into my own hands! I added my favorites and a few that we missed last year into the Spooky column. The Scary column, I can […]

One Year In: Our Experience Adopting a Rescue Dog

Almost exactly one year ago, we brought home our second dog, Maisie, for the first time. We thought it would be cake. We had a rough time with Levi, but we had one under our belt, how hard could a second dog be? Turns out, it’s actually very very hard! But it’s so worth it, […]

Journal #1 Where I’ve Been + Life Changes

I feel like every year I come on here, write a Where I’ve Been, pop out a few posts, and then retire again. I view this blog less in the modern influencer sense, but more in the early 2000’s style, journaling into the ether to find an online community where I feel my real-life one […]

30 in 30 Update: Visiting 30 States by 30 Years Old

Almost two years ago, I decided I was going to visit 30 states before I turned 30 years old. Since then we’ve made many road trips, to places new and old, and found so many places to go back to explore further. What Counts as a Visit? There’s always some debate on what actually counts […]

Summer Essentials Bucket List

Every year, I go into summer with crazy high expectations for how incredible it’s going to be, and yet every year it ends up perfectly meh. I’m taking on another summer bucket list this year, checking off all the best things summer has to offer. Read a book – bonus if it’s a fun beach […]

Dock Diving Essentials for Beginners

A couple months ago, we found out Levi has hip dysplasia. At just 18 months, it was a little disappointing, but it shifted us into a game of prevention. That means joint supplements, frequent short walks, and low-impact exercises to increase the muscle in his hind legs. Swimming is the perfect exercise for it, but […]

The Sunday Seven #1

I spent this whole week recouping from dental surgery, so it was three great days of actually resting and relaxing. I took the time to write, read, and catch up on Netflix. I enjoyed the time off, but I’m super ready to get back in action this week! I hope you enjoy this week and […]

7 Tips + Essentials for Road Trips with your Dog

Since we brought Levi home, he loves coming with us on road trips. It took him a few practice trips to get adjusted, the first car ride we ever took with Levi he barked the entire ride, jumped all over the car, and kept trying to pull the doors open! Now, after a year, he’s […]
