Happy Thursday, friends! We made it. Thursday is garbage day for me and in a weird way, when I drag out my trash barrels on Wednesday night, I feel as though it’s just a quick track in to the weekend. Before I start talking about my fall decor, I wanted to share a very high recommendation for The Social Dilemma on Netflix. Here’s the trailer… Please, please do yourself a…
I’m sorry if this is roughly the 800th time you’ve heard me talk about Suzette, my sourdough starter. I just think she’s great. It was actually after quarantine that I got on the sourdough train. I was dropping dinner off to a friend and she had some starter that she offered to share. I never thought about baking bread before (it was SO intimidating!) but immediately went to work on…
Before I begin, let me make one thing abundantly clear- I AM NOT A MILLIONAIRE. I’ve made decent financial decisions in my tenure and I make a decent living but I am most certainly not raking in a multiple six-figure income. Yet. Perhaps the question I’ve been asked the most on social media since announcing my new “little condo” as I’m calling it (even though I’m pretty sure the square…
I don’t know what was up with me this week but I barely took any pictures! That’s often a sign that I’m having fun, though, and that’s certainly been true! Enjoy this week’s journal! Recipe of the Week Not a recipe per se, but have you all had the cacio e pepe from Trader Joe’s? It’s in the frozen section and OHHHHH MYYYYY GOSHHHH is it good. I am VERY…
While I am a happy consumer of the fitness world, I do not claim to be or have any desire to be a fitness blogger. Fitness bloggers are all great. They’re happy, sweet people. I know several for the DC Bloggers Union and I’ll leave the fitness talk up to them. This is a lifestyle and personal finance blog. I do know I would lose my marbles if working out…
I’ve been debating over whether or not to write this for a long time. Many bloggers I follow and love have become very vocal with their political stances and unfortunately, I have yet to see one that aligns with my viewpoint. I know I’m not alone. I also know that there are several bloggers that I follow who have not said anything political because they’re on the more conservative side…
So, I didn’t get one of these up last week and this one is going up late today (I started this last night and doubt it’ll go up before this evening. Sigh). But better late than never, right? Recipe of the Week If you follow me on Instagram stories, you probably have heard me talk upwards of 800 times about my sourdough starter. Well, that’s because it’s SO FUN and…
I remember seeing a post on my alumni association’s Facebook of a high school classmate of mine. She was having a hard time finding a job and blamed it on her college major. When she posted this, we were a few years in to our THIRTIES. I had lost touch with her and didn’t feel like it was my place to tell her that her viewpoint was warped AF, but…
I’ve been thinking about writing this for a while but, once again, have had imposter syndrome. Truth is, I’ve been through the home buying process three times now (one fell through) so I certainly have more experience than many unmarried 30-something women. No matter how you slice it, home buying is a grueling process. It’s emotional, violating, slow and volatile. But, believe it or not, it is SO worth it.…
If you’ve been around here for some time, you know that even though I’ve officially been a DC-area resident for 12 years now, I am a Clevelander through and through. My first few years in DC, I tried to embrace the Washingtonian life perhaps a bit too much and quickly realized that it’s not my jam. I am and will always be an Ohio person. Today I thought I would…
