One of my new year's resolutions is read more. I took a long hiatus from reading for pleasure during and after college, as I had to crank out about 2-3 books per week for my English classes, and not the fun, light stuff. I'm talking 10 pound Norton anthologies and Milton's prose. That was kind... Continue Reading →
It's our favorite time of the year and we're really leaning into this festive season. *Cough, cough, watching all the cheesy Netflix Christmas movies...Even before the thanksgiving leftovers were put away in the fridge, I was already digging around in the garage for our Christmas decorations. As is my tradition, I like to do decorations... Continue Reading →
When I was younger and backpacking around S.E. Asia, I didn't care at all what I wore, often opting for some pretty heinous sweatpants, crummy tennis shoes, and a Target hoodie, but as I've gotten older, I realized that I didn't want to look back at my travel photos and wonder who the bridge troll...

Sometimes the travel theme can be overdone or cheesy, think large Eiffel towel statues or ombré watercolor posters that say, "adventure is out there" or some other iteration. For me, travel is all about the personal experiences and memories you make. So I try to incorporate the personal into my travel decorations at home, as... Continue Reading →
Reading has always been a part of my life. When I was younger, my mom and I used to go to the library and fill a wicker basket with as many picture books as it could hold. When I was older, I became an English major. However, during my undergrad experience, I started to notice... Continue Reading →
