Do you ever feel like you’ve been swallowed whole by life? That’s how I’ve felt these past couple weeks. I haven’t had a moment to myself, have worked far too much, am taking care of my friend’s cat in a neighboring suburb (so basically, not down the street), and I’m trying to get ready for [...]
I’m participating in Ten on Tuesday again today, hosted by Chelsea! I know I promised a guest post from my special guest blogger today but I saw the questions for today’s ToT and I had to participate. Since it’s about travel and we know how much I love talking about travel! Feel free to participate [...]
I’m currently sitting in Newark airport, waiting for my flight to Minneapolis where I will connect to my flight back to Denver.

Reflect on all the things that make you different – you’ll find they’re what make you beautiful. (Author: Karen Walrond) These prompts are making me think. Sometimes, like today, I just didn’t want to think. I was planning [...]
This Thursday marks another Thanksgiving. I am getting ready for a friends-family Thanksgiving for which I am making Bacon wrapped dates stuffed with goat cheese, a garlic roasted kale and an apple pie. Did you know that I have never really made a pie before? I’ve made pumpkin pies (which, if you can’t make pumpkin [...]
I’ve always had this fantasy of wanting to live in a very, very small town in Ireland. You know the ones that have only pubs and maybe a convenience shop–inside that pub. It’s a nice fantasy that I play with everytime life gets a little hectic and I think, wouldn’t it be much more fun [...]
