Life & All The Things In Between
Being born and raised in Florida, traveling to Key West is like the pilgrimage to Mecca; you have to go at least once in your life. I can’t believe it’s taken me 31 years to make it there, and of all the times to go, I decided to go in the middle of this never-ending [...]
Growing up my mom cooked almost five nights a week. Freshly baked biscuits were always a staple around the dinner table. Nothing was better than eating a warm biscuit with my grandmother's homemade plum jam. Biscuits were also a must for any meals served with gravy. Remembering these fond memories I had of hot biscuits [...]
Rose - It’s that time of year when the grocery store isles turn orange with pumpkin spiced flavored everything. While I haven’t taken a deep dive into buying everything in pumpkin spice; I have bought every pumpkin spiced coffee creamer available. I know this is excessive. The eye-rolling cashier made me think I may have [...]
Over the years I have made a conscious effort to become a light packer for vacations. Want to dip your toe into not packing the kitchen sink for a getaway? A warm-weather vacation is a great start. Even though the clothes and shoes are less bulky; that doesn’t mean packing six pairs of sandals should [...]
Have you ever been so consumed by a television show you find yourself thinking about the characters throughout the day? I was recently engrossed by the show Yellowstone, which just ended its third season.

While cleaning my bathroom a few weeks ago I noticed I’ve accumulated a number of half-empty (or half full, depending on your outlook on life) products. I found myself hoarding some of these products for special occasions. While other products, I completely forgot about, and as a result, sat in the medicine cabinet collecting dust. [...]
I love thrifting. I love digging through racks of clothing or rummaging through shelves of knick-knacks. It’s the thrill of the unknown: Will I find the antique mirror of my dreams? Do I need six emerald green glass goblets for my morning orange juice? How many Christmas sweaters are too many? Finding a deal on [...]
For most of the month of August, I didn’t know what day it was. At one point, I wrote September as the current month. Just like the stores, I think subconsciously, my mind is already prepping for fall. Just like every other basic girl on the planet, I’m pumped for the change in weather and [...]
I have tried and failed to go on a trip with friends this year. I know, this year is not the year to go anywhere except the grocery store, work, and home. But I still long for the excitement of going on an adventure and exploring new places. The only exploration I’ve been on is [...]
This week I only had one day off from work. Being that the weather was 70% rain and I didn’t have anything planned for the day, I decided I would attempt a DIY project. Earlier in the week, I watched a YouTube video (found HERE) featuring three different styles of DIY towel holders. All the [...]
