Day Four: Parents-to-Be

July 4, 2013

I recently found out that Kat, a friend who also happens to be my first college roommate, and her husband Tom are expecting, so today’s mail is a congratulations to them both as they start preparing for parenthood. Kat and I actually met through my cousin Kelli right before I moved to Tallahassee for my junior year. She and I got along great from the start, probably in part to the fact that we’re both avid lovers (and rescuers) of…

Day 3: Thinking of You

July 3, 2013

Day 3 is honor of one of my besties, Paige, who I’ve known since my senior year at Florida State University. She and I worked together at the Office of Undergraduate Studies at FSU, and have been through a lot together since our first chance encounter as student workers. Despite incidents like the theft of her pants (at the office, no less), social experiments at Olive Garden, my pups tendency to tackle her upon entry, the introduction of bondage pants…

Day Two: You Made It!

July 2, 2013

Liz, a coworker and friend, just completed a month-long challenge of her own, and one that I’m not sure I could ever manage. She took the Whole 30 challenge, which means in a nutshell, she endured the following: Do not consume added sugar of any kind, real or artificial. (That means no syrup, Splenda, Stevia, etc.) Do not eat grains. Do not eat legumes (including soy-based products, peanut butter and hummus). Do not eat dairy. Do not consume carrageenan, MSG…

Day 1: Thank You!

July 1, 2013

Today kicks off the first day of my 31 Letters in 31 Days challenge, and what better way to get started than with a “Thank You” for someone who’s been an amazing addition to my life over the past year and a half, my friend Tyler. Tyler and I met through the AAF Jacksonville Board (he serving as president and I as social media chair) and during that time we’ve had some pretty incredible adventures – District Conference in Orlando…

31 Letters in 31 Days

June 25, 2013

For our anniversary this year, Chris gifted me a subscription to a monthly service called My Olive Box. Despite my daytime dealings as a social media director, I have a deep-rooted love for papercrafts – so the subscription is akin to getting a surprise present each month full of my favorite things. (Isn’t my hubs the BEST?!) The items in the box vary – sometimes you get cards or books, other times it’s artwork or gift wrap – but each one…

Twelve Favorite Moments from 2012

December 31, 2012

2012 was a pretty amazing year, so I’ve captured twelve of my favorite moments to share with you all. Because each of these could probably be a blog post in and of themselves (and some are), I’ll keep it simple with a list and pictures. If you make it through all the photos (sometimes it was hard to settle on just one), I’d love to hear what you loved most about 2012 in the comments! ^_^ 1. Atlanta Vacation with…

Giving Thanks

November 22, 2012

In keeping with the theme of the Thanksgiving holiday, I thought I’d share a short list of some of the things I’ve been especially grateful for this year. My husband. So I’m sure many of you might write this one off as a given, but I think that our relationships with our loved ones are often some of the more obvious and thus overlooked blessings we have. One of the things that I’ve really come to appreciate about my relationship…
