I hope everyone had a restful weekend! I definitely have been sleeping better and this weekend is no exception- it’s hard to put into words how exciting it is…it’s super exciting. I also had a wonderful evening on Saturday with about 25 other women, we were all served an excellent dinner by some of the…

Earlier this week, a girl a few years younger than I approached me with an issue that she had clearly been grappling with for a little while. She asked me “how do I become fulfilled so that I no longer need a guy?” Yikes. I immediately felt for her because I remember intimately struggling with…

Happy Monday!! I hope you had a good weekend and a good start to your week. This weekend my aunt Carrie (owner of Neatsmart) and her husband came to visit and we had a blast! One of my favorite parts of having visitors in town is taking them to some of my favorite spots. This…

‘Once upon a time…’ we all love those words. They evoke a certain comfort and excitement simultaneously. We are excited because we know a story is coming, an adventure with noble heroes, adventurous undertakings, an evil person to defeat and challenges to be overcome. We’re comforted knowing that the evil will be defeated and challenges…

I hope everyone had a lovely weekend, I can’t believe October is here! This morning was brisk and that in itself is very exciting. Here is my list of all the things I’m excited about this week, I think it’s going to be a good one! October.  I’m so glad we live in a world…

I know I talk about The Office a lot…like, too much. But this is one thing (plus Harry Potter) that I’m ok with being a #fangirl about. Because it’s awesome! And I’ve learned a lot from it (#sorrynotsorry). In the past I’ve written about what we can learn from Jim and what we can learn…

Walking! I love to walk and I love to be outside (luckily those often go together). A few days a week I nanny a precious 5-month-old (I’m training her to be my FCA protege ;)) and turns out she loves to go on walks too! It’s a little different because she goes in the stroller,…

I’ve gotten to know my friend Andrew through my friend group here in Charleston. He is a personal banker who loves to kayak, play guitar, run and read about history (among other things). He kindly agreed to be another ‘Ask Him’ feature. In return, I paid him in beer and fajitas ;). Here are some…

Happy Monday!! I hope everyone’s week is off to a great start. This weekend I had an awesome time catching up with some girlfriends over crepes and coffee; as well as attending the Scottish Brigade Games here in Charleston – turns out log-throwing is a real thing people do…in case you were wondering. Yesterday evening…

Recently I started nannying part-time. While I was applying to different nanny jobs and talking to a few families, my past experience with children came up (obvi). The job I brought up the most was actually my first babysitting gig for a family of five (now 6) children in NC. ‘Babysitting’ is a somewhat of…
