If you knew me in high school, you would definitely laugh at the fact that I’m talking about this. I grew up in the Midwest where healthy eating and being fit is not the norm like it is here in DC. Fortunately I had a good teenager metabolism that allowed me to eat Auntie Anne’s pretzels (my first job) on the reg without suffering the consequences like I would today…
Today I am pleased to present a guest post from my dear friend, Caitlin. She and I met years ago at a church thing and immediately clicked. She’s one of those people that immediately makes people feel so welcome and I can’t say enough positive things about her. She’s also a fantastic writer so I didn’t have to edit this ;). I hope you enjoy her post today! Take it…
If I can selfishly cite one positive thing about the whole coronavirus sha-bang, it’s that I am no longer viewed as that weirdo germaphobe. What has been my normal routine of sanitizing, scrubbing, and cleaning some more, is now viewed as “cautious” and “healthy” rather than “psychotic” and “OCD.” I feel very validated. I will have all you formerly judgy betches know that I, for one, don’t have an OCD…
A few weeks ago, I shared how much I enjoy working with my financial planner and I also made a quick mention of the financial planner I had been working with prior to him. Let’s just say it wasn’t a good match. While this particular financial planner is fantastic for some people I know, she just, simply put, did not work for me. As women, many of us gain a sense…
The designers of Prime knew EXACTLY what they were doing when they created this little subscription service. It’s like, why would I ever run to Target when I know I can get everything I need with one click? Well, I do still love Target, but the convenience factor of Prime is certainly nice, especially with all of my traveling lately. Speaking of traveling, I’ve been really on a mission to…
Oy, unpopular opinion much? It seems as though every millennial you talk to is somehow in the process of starting his/her own business with the hope to eventually take it full time. While I openly admit that this was once my plan and trajectory, thinking back on it, I realized my intentions for this were not altogether pure. If you have drank the millennial “you must be self employed by…
Now that we’re to the month of August, we’re technically about half way through (technical) summer, more than halfway done through “school summer.” One of many things I enjoy about not working in schools anymore is that my travel is not confined to mid-June to mid-August. Even though I work more weeks per year, my leave time is more flexible if that makes sense. I digress. Since most of you…
If there is one thing I’ve learned from my years of schooling (19 to be exact), it’s this: the moment you feel like you’ve learned it all, you’re doomed to failure. I may be a so-called “authority” on certain topics, but I hope to never consider myself an expert. There is always more you can learn. So, when I got the idea for this post, I asked my dad to…
So, this post was supposed to go up on Monday, but I have once again been all over God’s green earth and didn’t get it finished in time. A few weeks ago, a colleague and I traveled to Cleveland, TN for a conference which isn’t far from Chattanooga. He sang the praises of “Chatty” so much that I decided to book my hotel there and make the 30 minute drive…
Happy Happy Friday, everyone! Today I’m teaming up with some other lovely bloggers (they all go to the same church in McKinney, TX… how fun is that? Hi, Andrea, Erica, and Narci) to bring you my Friday favorites. It’s been a while since I’ve done a post like this, and I sure hope you enjoy! 1. Glass smoothie straws. If you follow me on Instagram stories, you know I have…
