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
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
My job requires me to be at work from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. This typically means that I leave my house at 7:45 a.m. and get home after 6. 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)

And loves ones who gather to break … Continue reading Müri Christmas!
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
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
Something that’s been missing in my life has been a creative outlet outside of my day-job. I’ve joined committees and groups outside of work, even volunteering, but there was still a gaping hole for a creative need. Having an outlet that you can turn to and invest your energy into can bring a positive reinforcement … Continue reading A Little on the Side
