Do I have your attention? Let me clarify. I feel nothing, and it feels GREAT. Still confused? I’ll explain. I’m currently in the process of packing up my apartment and moving to a new place in a new city. When I moved into my current apartment, it was out of necessity. I had just broken […]

Leslie Knope is my spirit animal. Parks and Rec is honestly one of my favorite shows of all time. In honor of my 26th birthday, I’m sharing 26 lessons I’ve learned from Leslie Knope and the rest of the Pawnee team. Breakfast food makes everything better. There is nothing we can’t do if we work […]
Single Girl’s Guide to Valentine’s Day
Well, it’s that time of year again. It’s Valentine’s Day. If you’re like me, you don’t have a (human) valentine. Let me tell you something: It’s okay! Valentine’s Day has been over-capitalized. Yes, this blog post will probably sound like the rant of a bitter single girl, but it really isn’t. Even when I was […]
Catholic Woman’s Guide to Faith at Home
I’ve shared a bit before that I’m Catholic, born and raised. My saint at confirmation was St. Therese of Lisieux. Now, since I came to Athens for college, I’ve missed out a bit on the church scene. It’s important to me to be able to have access to my faith from “afar”. Over the years, […]

Happy Thanksgiving! Today is a day where people remember to be thankful…but shouldn’t we be thankful every day? We can get so caught up in the mundane or the displeasing that we forget to take a moment and be thankful. I read something the other day that really spoke to me. Let’s say you have […]

Bingeworthy Favorites
I live by myself, so I like to have “noise” on. In an effort to save some money, I don’t have cable. Me watching television consists of Netflix or any movies I have on hand. Oh, and Amazon Video, though I haven’t tried that too much. I’m a big multitasker while television is on. I’ll […]
Adventure: Ellijay, GA

It’s super adorable for a small town, and I would definitely recommend it. Our first stop was at the Panorama Orchards store. A local […]
Self Care & Your Mental Health
It is so unbelievably important to care for yourself, both physically and mentally. Often, we get so caught up with needing to meet this deadline, or write that paper, study for an exam, or just excel and push ourselves too far. Not caring for yourself can negatively affect your professional and personal life. Self care […]

Happy Birthday, Harry Potter!
Happy Birthday, Harry Potter! I can’t believe it’s been 20 years since J.K. Rowling brought you to life. I missed the 20th anniversary while I was on vacation. Elayne and Aaron had the opportunity to go to the London Studio Tour when they visited the U.K. this spring. Aaron is a Harry Potter fan, so […]
