For the Love of Travel
I’m not generally one for celebrity advice, but when Bill Murray waltzed into a Charleston bachelor party this past weekend, he shared some words of wisdom I wholeheartedly agree with. When asked for tips on finding lasting love, Mr. Murray responded: “If you have someone that you think is The One, don’t just sort of […]

How’s Married Life? My Messy Beautiful
“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times,” Charles Dickens wrote. Though he was referring to 18th Century Europe, he might as well have been talking about marriage. In the seven and a half short (but seemingly long) months since we said our vows, I’ve learned more about myself, relationships, and […]

On Soulmates
{Via} Do you believe in soulmates? There’s an idea that there is one single person out there for each of us. When we find that someone, they will complete and compliment us in a soul fulfilling way.

The Blessing of Babysitting
The last couple weekends, I have spent my rowdy evenings babysitting. While this would be a burden to many people, for me it’s an absolute blessing. You see, I’ve always loved babies and children.

Sweet Dreams
Much of my time is spent dreaming. And that’s not just because I love to stay snuggled under covers in a deep sleep; although that is fabulous as well. I mean the kinds of dreams that swirl around your mind in waking hours. The ones that expand to fill up any empty space that remains […]

Tell Me Something Lovely….
Somewhere along the way Andrew and I started this lovely little ritual. (Ok, let’s be honest, I started the ritual and Andrew begrudgingly participates). Every so often; or daily if he’s really lucky, I’ll simply say: “Tell me something lovely…” This is my way of trying to refocus our minds on the positive by looking […]

Weekend Wandering
This weekend my wanders took me back to sunny Florida to reunite with my sweet fiancé. Since we didn’t get to spend Valentine’s Day together, I was looking forward to a long weekend of relaxing on the beach and adventuring with Andrew.
