Writing about writing, because sharing is caring, and empathy encourages connection
Reid and I have been feeling like the number one thing holding us back from achieving our goals has been not waking up early enough and with enough structure to get our days started on the right foot and with the best productive mindset. We hit snooze to no avail, and reap no benefits from the extra poor sleep!…
I have wanted to have a blog since probably high school. Ever since I first learned what blogging was, I thought, “Hey, that could be something I would enjoy!” I’ve always loved writing, from the free-writing time we used to get a block of in elementary school, to typing out the longest novel of a text you’d ever want to read, to trying to add some engaging voice to work emails.…
There are plenty of people who decide they want to become full-time RVers and then spend a year researching and preparing to make sure they are well-equipped to handle life on the road. Not Reid and me.
Nope, we brought up the idea in casual conversation in January, took our first trip ever in an RV for my birthday weekend in March, bought an RV April 29th then got on the road first week of June.…
[also from a previous WordPress blog, back when I was attempting “Danielle con Queso”. Disclaimer: I haven’t actually made this recipe in the RV yet, but when downsizing I made sure to keep and bring this white oven-safe bowl pretty much just so that I can still use it for this!]
On my to-do list for a while has been to compile and organize my collection of recipes, which right now are scattered throughout multiple cookbooks, a binder of family recipes my mom and I made before my 2nd year of college when I moved into an apartment with a full kitchen, my long-forgotten Pinterest boards, and haphazard screenshots within my phone’s photo albums.…
This March, I stumbled across an online course called “The Best Year of Your Life” via a Facebook ad from DailyOM as I scrolled through Facebook one Thursday morning. It’s only $10, and gives you a simple self-development task to focus on each week for one year. So far, I’ve felt like the missions each week have been strangely relevant to what’s been happening in my life every week, so I believe that I came across this course for a reason.…
Real talk y’all – I have spent much too much of my life feeling “not good enough”.
In elementary school, I wasn’t coordinated enough to enjoy P.E. (and was always picked last in any schoolyard-style draft), and wasn’t outgoing enough after my best friend went away. I didn’t stick up for myself enough.
In high school, it was that I wasn’t popular enough, or good enough at doing my makeup, or fashionable enough.…
[originally posted to a blog I was trying out when I was going back and forth about if I wanted to do wordpress or tumblr and what I wanted my name to be, from May 30th, 2018]
I wanted to take a quick break from the absolutely insanely crazy week I’ve been having to make the time to start my blog, and document a sweet moment I experienced last night.…
