Trigger Warning: This post will discuss weight to some degree, though I do not discuss specific numbers. This post also discusses menstrual cycles. I do not intend to trigger and refrain from using what I believe to be triggering language, but please do not read if you are easily triggered at this time. It’s almost …
My thumb actually just goes there. No, really, I can’t control it. This is what I learned about myself a few days ago, when I took my cell phone into the bathroom with me (okay, I know you all do it). I opened it, and my thumb went to the app. I’ve logged out of …
I’m a 3pm snack kind of girl. Usually for something sweet–but my tastebuds are used to a healthy sort of sweet. As much as I love a donut, cookie, or brownie now and again, this wouldn’t be so healthy for an everyday kind of snack. But this moist (23% of you cringed; sorry), rich-tasting, fudgey …
My husband and I are 6 months into marriage. We’re 24 and 22 years old with no kids and work-from-home jobs after long distance.

Is it just me, or is owning a brand-new waffle maker, like, the Hallmark of being a wife? Since receiving it from my oma at my bridal shower, I have been so excited to use it — and test all sorts of recipes! Belgian waffles are my husband’s all-time favourite breakfast, so I tried making …

I’ve seen messages like, “If I don’t want to kill my spouse after this quarantine, I know I’ve succeeded,” or, “We’re just trying to make it …
Happy Wednesday, Friends! As you can likely tell by the title of this post… I owe my frequent readers an apology. Sincerely. Girl to girl, or boy, or whoever you are. The other day, as I was updating some content here on the blog, I got myself in one of those downward spirals that can …
June 4th… Say what?!!?! My blog friends… it’s been a while! To my subscribers – thank you for sticking around and bearing with me in a busy season of navigating screen burnout, working from home, and newly married life! I must say that it has all been wonderful over here. Johnny and I can’t put …
