Hello friends!
Sully and I took a week-long vacation in the mountains this February. It was super relaxing and we had lots of fun mini-adventures I wanted to share with you guys. Read on for mountain overlooks, the most charming bookstore, mysterious stone buildings, hotel crafts, and possibly the smallest church and largest pencil you’ll ever see.
Hello friends!
A little while ago I shared a bunch of ideas for tasty packed lunches. Today I’m back with some yummy breakfast inspiration, from fun make-ahead meals to quick dishes you can add to your morning routine. Of course there’s always cereal or pop tarts, but if you want some more quality fuel for your day, check out the inspiration below. 🙂
Hello friends!
Today I thought it would be fun to give you guys a glimpse into how I balance my work and homemaking. The problem is, I don’t have very set routines. I have two part time jobs with inconsistent schedules, meaning my day rarely actually looks like the one neatly laid out in this post. Isn’t that how it always goes though?
Regardless, I thought you might enjoy hearing how I fill my days as a newly married wife. If that sounds interesting, read on!
Hello friends!
Some of my favorite childhood memories involve packed lunches. During harvest, my dad and brothers often worked the field all day and into the night to get the crops in before bad weather – and that meant they didn’t come in for meals. My sisters and I would help Mom pack brown paper lunch bags and thermoses of tea or water, then drive through the bumpy stubble of the cornfields toward the tractors. There was something so special about eating a hot dog on an old blanket by the side of the field with my family.
These days I pack my husband a lunch almost every workday for him to eat on the road. No microwave, refrigerator, or break room means I have to get creative. If you need cold packed lunches for work or school, this post is for you!
Hello friends!
Every year I make these posts to reflect on what has filled the past twelve months. This year, the answer is… a LOT. Getting married and starting a new household has been quite an adventure, and one I don’t want to forget. So here’s a little recap of my 2022. Enjoy!
Hello friends!
Today I have a cozy Christmas playlist to share, including some songs that might be new to you. The music is accompanied with some lovely frosty photography since it hasn’t snowed here yet. I’ll be sharing some of my favorite lyrics from the songs as well as links to YouTube videos, plus my Spotify Christmas playlist at the end of this post if you want to check out more of my holiday favorites.
Enjoy this simple and festive post!

Hello friends!
Sully and I took a walk around my family’s farm a couple weeks ago to find greenery for Christmas decorating. The day turned out to be absolutely beautiful, with golden hour light fading into a glorious sunset and ending with the farmhouse wrapped in warm string lights. I wanted to take you guys along with me so you could enjoy the peaceful scenery too!
Let’s take a walk, shall we?
Hello friends!
Get ready for a cozy and aesthetic post! I went all out for Sully’s and my first “married” Christmas: lots of handmade decorations to make our house feel extra pretty and special. I filled it with fresh greenery, twinkly lights, dried orange slices, and a Christmas tree that might be my favorite yet.
Come in and take a tour, will you?
Hello friends!
Sully and I are coming up on our 6 month wedding anniversary, ah! It seems like a momentous milestone. Obviously it’s also a very small one and I’m still quite new at this whole wife thing. However, you guys seem interested in this side of my life and I wanted to make a post where I could share some things that have helped me in my marriage without pretending like I’m an expert now or something. I landed on this topic since I’ve at least been married long enough to start seeing how aspects of my life before marriage affected my life today.
All that to say… today I wanted to share a few things I’ve been pondering on the subject of living in preparation for marriage. This post is mostly written for young women who are currently unmarried or living at home, but it also applies to young men in a similar fashion. And if you’ve been married longer than I have and can actually speak from experience, I’d love to hear your advice in the comments! 🙂 Either way, I hope you enjoy reading my thoughts.
