I have never been one who was fond of waking up early. Nope, I never had the desire to be a morning person. At all. If you had told me that one day I would enjoy mornings, I probably would've laughed. Well, here I am - enjoying mornings. It wasn't really my choice to become a morning person and for the longest time I denied that I was one. The whole waking up at 5:45 to be in work for 7:30 wasn't exactly my ideal way to start any day. It was hard to get into the routine of "real life" and to ...
Throwing It Back
Today I decided to do a fun throwback post since it's Thursday! Here are a variety of different photos of me from years past. Enjoy! My first dance competition number was a group jazz routine to the song He Loves Me, He Loves You Not. [Third grade] On the left is a picture of my uncle and I discussing my first band competition trip & on the left is my sister Bethany and I at picture day. It was my first year of pointe. [Sixth grade] I have been addicted to the internet since age 12 ...
Our New French Press
The other day Michael and I picked up a french press and we were very excited to use it. Monday evening we decided to use the french press and goodness, it was the most delicious cup of strong coffee that we had in awhile. We were both quite pleased. An evening out on the porch with a good cup of coffee was what we both needed, along with the company of a gentle breeze and each other's company. We are both extremely busy people, so it was nice to just sit on the porch and breathe for a ...
The First Day of Autumn
Happy first day of Autumn, all you delightful people. It is time for seasonal pumpkin coffee, crisp air, crunchy leaves, jeans and sweater, boots and scarves, apple picking, pumpkin carving, football games, harvest time, hay rides and bonfires. Those are just a few reasons why autumn happens to be my favorite season. To be honest, I could go on and on and on about why I adore this season, but I don't want to bore you. I have a habit of going too deep into thought and spewing out words, but ...
Radio 104.5 Block Party
This past Saturday, some friends and I had free tickets to the Radio 104.5 final summer block party of the season. It took place at Festival Pier at Penn's Landing in Philadelphia, right next to the Ben Franklin Bridge. There were five bands that played in all, but we were really only excited for Sir Sly, Vance Joy, and Grouplove. When I woke up that day and looked out the window - it was pouring rain. I was super sad because what I had originally wanted to wear and do with my hair, I ...
Today Is Not Forever
Yesterday was one of those mentally stretching, emotionally overwhelming and physically exhausting days. You ever have some of those? You feel like a whirl wind, all over the place and you're not quite sure if you'll find any moments of rest anytime soon. Days like these happen and we must learn how to accept that and press on despite all chaos. Today, I wanted to share some words that can sound cliche because they're spoken so often, but the realness to them is refreshing and uplifting to ...
