Five March Favorites
I always seem to start these posts by writing something along the lines of, “I can’t believe [insert month here] is already over. How did another one slip through my fingers?” But alas…here I am…wondering how another month flew by. This is absolutely a… Continue Reading “Five March Favorites”
Word of Intent: Joy
The last memory I have of 2020 is Oliver kicking me in the back as he tried to keep himself from falling asleep. I don’t know who dozed off first– him or me– but when I woke up, it was 2:30 AM in 2021.… Continue Reading “Word of Intent: Joy”
Five November Favorites
Did November actually happen? I’m not entirely convinced it did. But, that sort of happens at the end of the year, doesn’t it? February drags on for 100 weeks, but October, November, and December slip by as we scramble to welcome the holidays. I… Continue Reading “Five November Favorites”
This is Not a Glamorous Post About Tea or Motherhood
I may have romanticized my gongfucha sessions– written about how it’s a meditative practice that lets me decompress while exploring tea more intimately. And some days, my gongfucha sessions are exactly that. But, most days it is just a tea brewing method no different… Continue Reading “This is Not a Glamorous Post About Tea or Motherhood”
Armchair Travel And Rooibos Cinnamon Apple from Adagio Teas

When everyone was stuck at home due to shelter-in-place orders, many turned to sharing old vacation photos as a way to feel a little less cooped up. I have managed to… Continue Reading “Armchair Travel And Rooibos Cinnamon Apple from Adagio Teas”
Five January Favorites
The first month of the Roaring Twenties is over! And so soon, too. It usually seems like January drags by, but I don’t even know where this month went. Hopefully, that won’t become a mantra for this year– I don’t even know where this… Continue Reading “Five January Favorites”
Word of the Year: Explore
I have had this thought in the back of my mind nagging me for the past couple of weeks. I hoped I could just keep it buried there amongst forgotten To-Do Lists, knowledge only suitable for trivia games, and abandoned dreams, but it keeps… Continue Reading “Word of the Year: Explore”
20 Things I’m Really Doing During Social Media Hiatuses
I recently wrote a post about Silencing the Internal Pressure to Be the Blogger I’m Not, and that wasn’t even the article I set out to write that day. I planned to sit down and write this slightly self-deprecating list of all of the… Continue Reading “20 Things I’m Really Doing During Social Media Hiatuses”
Silencing the Internal Pressure to be the Blogger I’m Not
Blogging has been my hobby for two decades now. I mean that quite literally. And during these past twenty years, blogging evolved from inane ramblings on personal websites built on Geocities to polished content creation with the unstated intent to sell something to the… Continue Reading “Silencing the Internal Pressure to be the Blogger I’m Not”
Five December Favorites
I know we are three days into the New Year already, but you know how it is with these wrap-up posts… I like to take a minute (or more realistically an hour that gets edited down to about 12 minutes) and reflect on the… Continue Reading “Five December Favorites”
