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

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
All around the world, people celebrate in wonderful ways! The Muerys exchange gifts while others decorate trees or put up Festivus poles. I have friends that light candles or firecrackers, build snowmen or head to somewhere warmer. There are children who leave out cookies, colorful stockings or shoes. And loves ones who gather to break … Continue reading Müri Christmas!
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
On my Sweet Sundays (which it’s been a while since posting one of those) I like to highlight the Good List of the week. 2019 has been the most excruciating year of my life. It has been eleven months of trusting Jesus, making mistakes while learning to give myself grace, praying relentlessly, loving without fear … Continue reading The Good List: Thankfulness
