  • My kind of broken

    Kelly Clarkson has this song called ‘Dark Side’ that I really love. It’s not as well known as some of her other hits but I think it has a lot of truth to it. The gist of the song is that we all have a ‘dark side’ and she wonders if we can be loved…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • 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: 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…
