I’m hanging on tight to this summer. To this weekend and past weekends. To the way I’m feeling in this exact moment – blissfully content. I think the perfect word for this season of life I’m finding myself in is connection, and honestly, if I look back it’s certainly a common theme threaded through my past posts.…

I have to admit, I have a bit of an obsession with hot chocolate. I don’t usually indulge in treats at the store because I know myself, and I know I have practically zero self-control when it comes to sweets. This week however, I decided to listen to the craving and bought some. It was…

Over the weekend I moved to a new house. Don’t worry – its still near two of my favorite places, the ATL Beltline and Trader Joe’s Piedmont Park. It’s a fabulous place with high ceilings and little bit of character. No place is truly good until it has its funky quirks and this house certainly…

Now, I’ve only tried two of the most highly rated places – Sublime and Revolution – but I’ve come…

While I was riding the MARTA to work a couple of months ago, staring out the window, dreaming of things I would rather have been doing, I started to scheme about how I might get better at caring for flowers. As you may have gathered from some of my previous posts, I love plants, but…

Everyday Facebook diligently reminds me of my memories. While some of these memories I would care to forget, most of them stir up feelings of nostalgia and reminisce. For instance, lately my memories have all been related to my graduation from CU. These are memories that I cherish. I look back on those four years…
