  • Monday 5: Advent edition

    Happy Monday! This weekend could not come soon enough, last week lasted too long! Friday evening we went out with Nicholas’ resident friends to Edmond Oast Brewery, a cool spot to hang out and enjoy good beer (and bring your dog). Saturday morning we went to Adoration (a type of Catholic prayer) and went for…

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

    I hope everyone had a lovely Thanksgiving! As I mentioned last week, my siblings and I took some time to visit my dad in NC and it was good for the four of us to be together again. I also got to see two of my childhood friends again which was so fun! There’s something…

  • Monday 5: 8 months & other things I’m excited about this week

    What a lovely, lovely weekend. My dear friend Olivia (shout out!) got married this weekend to another friend of ours, Jackson. It was such a beautiful service and reception. They had a small, intimate wedding with so much heart! What made it even better was that Nicholas was able to get off work and come…

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

    What a fun Fall weekend. It was definitely a chilly one but we got to spend time with friends, celebrate birthdays, check out new stores and have dinner on the water! It was nice too because we got to spend time with different groups of friends that we don’t see as often. I always feel…

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

    Weekends are just the best. Especially ones when you’re not sick and can do things! Friday night I went out with a couple of girlfriends to a spot called Gene’s Haufbrau (oldest bar in Charleston!) and then to a wine and cheese restaurant in West Ashley. We enjoyed some much needed girl time. Saturday after…

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

    After all the anticipation for Halloween weekend, I ended up getting sick and was in bed for most of it. But, I will say it was nice to actually do nothing for an extended period of time for the first time in a while. That is an upside of getting sick, it forces you to…

  • Monday 5: Self-compassion & other things I’m excited about

    This weekend was another action filled one with both family on my side and on Nicholas’ side in town. After a quick trip to Sullivan’s Island with the Cundiffs, my brother, my sister, her boyfriend and I all picked up my dad from the train station and had dinner together. The next morning my brother…

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

    This weekend included the first lazy Saturday I’ve had in a while and it was amazing. We also got drinks with friends Friday evening, I had my first bachelorette party Saturday night and yesterday we paddle boarded all the way to Shem Creek! It took us a couple of hours, between the ride there, the drink…

  • What I wish I had known about my parents’ divorce

    I think my generation has become very guarded and as I’ve gotten older I’m starting to understand why. From 1960 to 1980, after the no-fault divorce bill was passed (saying that you could get a divorce without proving spousal wrongdoing), the divorce rate more than doubled. A lot of us millennials and some from those in…

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

    This weekend was definitely an adventurous one. I went camping for the first time since high school with four men in the mountains of Brevard, North Carolina. To be fair, the camp site was pretty nice; we had grills, showers, wifi…the guys called it ‘glamping,’ but I slept outside so I didn’t see anything glamorous…
