  • 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: 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…

  • What we can learn from the evolution of Taylor Swift

    I still remember where I was when I heard one of Taylor Swift’s songs for the first time. I was riding in the back of a neighbor’s minivan and my friend showed me the CD case of her debut album as we listened to ‘Teardrops on my Guitar.’ I liked her music right away and…

  • Monasteries & other things I’m excited about this week

    Happy Monday! This week is finally starting to feel like Fall in Charleston and I’m so excited. I feel like I can start to actually do Fall things and wear Fall clothes without feeling silly. This weekend we celebrated the first cooler weather with a bonfire and s’mores, so fun! Yesterday we ventured out to a…

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

    Happy Monday! I hope this weekend was lovely and restful. I certainly got a lot of sleep which was wonderful! We also caught up over dinner with some friends Saturday evening and yesterday I got to go to the Fun Nun bowl fundraiser which was a great time. I also went to one of my…

  • Unprotected: Why contraception isn’t enough

    Today we we’re generally very safety oriented. Speed limits, hand sanitizing stations, screen protectors, phone codes, childlock, birth control…prevention prevention prevention. All these precautions have the good intention of protecting us from potential danger, and most do this effectively. Birth control is somewhat of an anomaly in that it does prevent (generally) women from getting…

  • Monday 5: Relationships edition

    The first picture I ever posted of Nicholas and me was shortly after our first date when we met up in Raleigh, NC six months ago. It was a great date, especially considering we had only hung out a total of 3 or 4 times before then and hadn’t seen each other in three months.…

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

    I know in a lot of places today isn’t a great day…so many storms doing so much damage! Here in Charleston we are getting a tiny bit of Hurricane Irma, it’s stormy and windy and the power has already cut out once. Praying for all those areas that have been so seriously affected! That being…
