As a writer, I’m expected to know the right words to say … or at least have a few prepared. But I don’t. I’m exhausted. I need to breathe. I need to focus. I need a break. If you’ve stumbled on this post because my Instagram account is currently disabled, know that I will be …
I am and always have been a complete and utter office and school supply addict. I love the feeling of writing with a new pen on a new notebook. It is only rivaled by the feeling of cracking open a new book. Despite this, I’ve never quite found a planner that I could stick with …

This weekend, we celebrated our belated anniversary (our original trip was derailed by a pair of lovely colds) on Douglas Lake in East Tennessee.

Eat Clean. Train Dirty. Nothing tastes as good as fit/skinny feels. Just say no. We’ve all heard it. I’ve said it. Heck, I’ve lived it. But, for me, it hasn’t been maintainable. I do really awesome for a few months then I get derailed and fall of track and gain a few pounds back. I …
