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

Sweet Sunday No. 51
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
Hungry for Work (Snacks)
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)
Sweet Sunday No. 50
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
The Good List: Thankfulness
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
A Little on the Side
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
A Clear Way to Talk Politics
Did you see the news? Who are you voting for? Can you believe they said that? We all know where I stand on sharing my political, monetary and religious beliefs. Call me old-fashioned but we all know that the conversations we have now would make our grandparents clutch their Bibles. Politics are tricky. Talking politics … Continue reading A Clear Way to Talk Politics
Sweet Sunday No. 49
The Good List: Deleting “me” & replacing with “we” What I’m Here For Here I Go Again: The time has come again for me to move! Haha, I wish I was kidding but thankfully this is only a quick hop over to the next city so a 30 minute move sure beats cutting across multiple … Continue reading Sweet Sunday No. 49
The Saga of a Redhead in Sports
Let me preface this by saying, I love working in sports. It’s always been my passion and something I’ve been working with since I was a senior in high school. The sound of a bat hitting a baseball is my favorite sound & I’ll never get tired of victory celebrations. Buuuuuuuut there are definitely some … Continue reading The Saga of a Redhead in Sports
More Money, Less Probs
This is the first job I’ve had that I actually get a bonus & it feels like it’s almost the gift that keeps on giving throughout the year. Getting a bonus is an absolute privilege & it’s so important for me to put it to good use. I have my eye on a total gift … Continue reading More Money, Less Probs
