I was struggling a bit on how to welcome this New Year.  Last year I knew exactly what I wanted out of 2016 and that was less stuff, more living.  And while that is a goal I think I’ll forever strive towards, I also want to allow myself to grow and not keep the exact […]

I feel like everyone is starting to look for ways to make sure technology doesn’t completely take over their lives.  After reading a couple blogs and books that encouraged a “tech free area” in your house, I decided that I wanted to implement this much needed trend in my own life.  My year of less is […]

Well September came and went didn’t it? Mine certainly didn’t go smoothly as I was out in the field for work for three weeks on a very un-fun (is that a word??) project.  I was hoping for a bit of a smoother month as August was a bit unsettling as well – enter mid 20’s panic […]

A couple weeks ago I shared a fun Content Creators dinner and while I wanted to share every little thing I learned while hosting it, I didn’t really want to take away from the event itself. Whenever I’ve seen lovely stylized dinners surrounded by cheese and wine I’ve always just assumed they were too much hassle […]
