I recently booked a trip to Heidelberg and Paris for a reunion with my best friend before her wedding and a getaway for G’s graduation - so I’ve been feeling super positive about all of the planning. Last year, G and I went on a beach getaway to Puerto Rico and I’m excited to show … Continue reading Like Royalty
I’m a huge vacation planner and am already planning my next vacation, basically six months out. I look forward to it all year, month, week...whatever. If I’ve learned anything in my last year of working for my organization, it’s that sometimes PTO is ignored. It doesn’t take long for me to get frustrated, give in … Continue reading Out of Office Replies
In the last decade, I traveled near and far and fell in love both through new places and new faces. At coffee with a friend, we were talking about three words that we would use to describe ourselves, and one that came to mind was, Francophile. When she asked me what a French-inspired woman embodies, … Continue reading Pardon My French
The memory isn’t lost on me - my mum had bought us McDonald’s, put my parents’ small tv in my brother’s room and loaded it with a VHS. She was hosting a Pampered Chef party. It was fun, cute and social for mums and wives. Now, the multi-level marketing companies are pervasive and intrusive. It’s … Continue reading Sounds Like an MLM
The Good List: Bed days, ordering in & being absolutely lazy What I’m Here For Week Two Slump: After the success of last week, I went back on my cooking grind. I didn’t cook the Magnolia Table Bow Tie Pasta last week, so I hit my mid-week slump by making it. Although I’ve loved the … Continue reading Sweet Sunday No. 51

If you’ve caught on, that means I spend two important meals and lots of snacks at my work space. As I try to ditch my … Continue reading Hungry for Work (Snacks)
The Good List: Kindness in the eyes of the barista, the smell of roses & a perfect moment in an imperfect world What I’m Here For New Year, New Me or Whatever: Once upon a time, I vowed to cook recipes from The Magnolia Cookbook throughout the year. Well, that epicly failed because my roommate … Continue reading Sweet Sunday No. 50
Instead of going through my goals for 2020 and how I have a clear vision (still my favorite pun) for the upcoming year, I thought it would be fun to go back through all of the moments from this year! Best Moment of the Year: On December 23, I took G to where I went … Continue reading You & Me from the Night Before
I am slowly finding my favorite places in Oklahoma. Which probably means it’s time to pick up and move again, haha! I’ve had the most incredible time exploring and trying out all of the coffee shops from Edmond to Yukon and everywhere in between. Truth be told, I love trying new coffee places so it’s … Continue reading Not the Michael Scott Paper Company
I hosted my very first Christmas party this year and it was everything I wanted and more! The goal was The Office Classy Christmas meets the Michael Scott Christmas party where everyone is pounding back twelve bottles of vodka. Y’all, it was amazing! My budget was incredibly low, like almost non-existent, and I couldn’t have … Continue reading Hang the Mistletoe
