  • The Breakup

    *deeeep breath* Oh how I wish this post was about the movie with Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaugh and not my own life right now. The downside about blogging about your life is that you can’t just post about the fun/happy/photogenic moments (I mean I guess you could but it wouldn’t be very honest). My…

  • Phil Dunphy & what we actually want from men

    If you’ve ever seen Modern Family you probably know and love Phil Dunphy. He is the sweet, hilarious, goofy, loving father and husband in the Dunphy family with some pretty amusing lines. As an example, here are a few of his ‘Phil-osopohies’ And: Or my favorite favorite: Phil is so endearing, one of the qualities…

  • Monday 5: Perspective & other things I’m excited about this week

    Happy Monday everyone! I hope your week is off to a great start. This weekend was really a good one. Friday evening I had the privilege of hearing Immaculée Ilibagiza speak and it was truly inspiring (more on that later). Saturday morning my brother and I hit up the local upscale thrift shop and a little later…

  • Monday 5: Beaufort & other things I’m excited about this week

    Happy Monday! I hope your week is off to a great start. Mine has been a little sleepy so far but that’s what coffee’s for, right? This weekend I was so excited to visit my college friend Bernadette, her husband Conor and their baby Veronica! They live in Bluffton, SC and it’s only a two…

  • Dear Fathers: What I wish my dad had known before he left

    Until recently I used to always roll my eyes when I heard the term ‘daddy issues.’ To me it was just an excuse girls used to wear dresses that are too short and sleep with men they knew didn’t care about them. After all, my dad moved out after my parents got divorced and I…

  • Monday 5: (Pro) Life & other things I’m excited about this week

    It was another relatively quiet weekend in the Rodriguez household. Friday afternoon Nicholas and I played with Sally and Anne Louise (more on that later) and that evening even though we had planned to go out with some resident friends, ended up staying in and watching ‘This is Us’. Saturday I got together with my…

  • Monday 5: Grace & other things I’m excited about this week

    For possibly the first time in over a year, this past Friday night I made zero plans. I went to bed at 9pm and woke up almost twelve hours later. It was amazing. Saturday was also very restful with a tiny bit of productivity mixed in there (yay for errands). My friend Juliana came over…

  • Monday 5: New Year’s Edition

    Happy 2018! Can you believe it?? 2017 flew by, especially the last few months. I hope you had a wonderful holiday season with friends and family! My siblings and I spent a quiet Christmas with our dad in North Carolina. For New Years we were back in Charleston and my mom suggested going to a…

  • Saying goodbye: what I learned from a year of nannying

    A year and a half ago I was a little lost (like many of us millennials), having just quit my secure, stable, 9-5 job after only 6 months and completely unmotivated to do anything else. The one thing that drew my attention was being with children. That had never been a particularly burning desire of…

  • Monday 5: Sailing & other things I’m excited about this week

    This weekend was definitely one for the books. My stepdad turned 50 and we had quite the celebration. We decked out the backyard with tent, tables, chairs, heaters and an enormous bonfire. It was a lot of work (my brother did not stop all weekend) but it was a lot of fun. It was good…
