Are we . . . almost halfway through September? Is this real life? Somehow, the answer to that is yes. I’m back in Charleston, doing showings, teaching mahj, stitching, and . . . heading back to West Virginia in two weeks! I really love to try to get to Morgantown as much as possible during …
Happy Sunday! Two Sundays in a row coming to you from my Morgantown porch, a cooler-temped luxury. We did have some warmer days this week, much to my dismay, but not Charleston hot. WVU had their first game of the season yesterday, I love the insane amount of hope I get for a season every …
Fall is knocking on our doors, not today but soon! I love fall. I actually think it may be my favorite season. September is definitely a top tier month for me. We have cooler weather, sweaters, jeans, FOOTBALL. There’s so much. Oysters! I almost forgot that it’s an R month. So much to be excited …
Happy Sunday! It’s been a whirlwind of a month. Lots of good things, one small HVAC issue (not actually small, not actually cheap and during the HOTTEST week of the year). I’m coming off of lots and lots of birthday celebrations and my heart feels FULL today. I’m currently writing, sipping and stitching on my …
Hello from the airport! We’re officially off on my birthday trip. Checking off a country and an island we’ve never been to before! Travel, especially international (even when it’s close), always makes me feel so grateful for everything I have. Add in my birthday in two days (!!!) and I couldn’t be more thrilled for …
Happy first Sunday of August! One week until my birthday trip and I’m so excited about it. We leave early next Sunday and come back late Friday night. The perfect amount of time away, plus it gets you home for a full Monday! Last Monday felt like my first really, really productive Monday since coming …
Hello, August! How did you show up so quickly this year?! I blinked back in February and now it’s August 1. Every month when I work on this post, I remind myself to not repeat the phrase “I love a new month” but I really do love a fresh start. That’s as close as I’m …
Somehow, it’s already the last Sunday of July. I feel like this month took a minute and an entire year all at once. It’s probably because post-Europe vacation makes me happy and exhausted all at once? I feel rejuvenated from taking time away (I still worked on my trip), but also excited for a return …
Happy Sunday, happy Sunday! We’re back on track and back in the groove, officially. I’m at our house in NC, heading back to Charleston tomorrow morning! I came back up midweek last week to go to the most fun stitching event and stayed through the weekend. Today’s agenda: cooking, laundry and the World Cup Final!! …
Bonjour! It’s Monday? Who knows what day it actually is. The days/week post-vacation blur together in a way that I just STRUGGLE with. What a trip was had, though! We started in London, trained to Paris, bopped to Reims and Le Mans and then back to Paris. A HOT trip, with no air conditioning the …
