Finding New Christmas Traditions
I’m 26 years old, and this year will be the first time in my life that I won’t spend Christmas with my family. For some of you, that might seem really old to have never
Friday Favorites: Week 22 & 23
Happy Friday, friends! We had some crazy warm days here in Amsterdam this week (70’s in October!). Thankfully I can report that there is an appropriately fall chill in the air today. Which is good because I’ve got a ton…
A Case For Doing Something That Scares You
I have a type A personality. That means I love planning things out, being organized, knowing what’s going to happen in advance, and having as much control over a situation as possible. Often, this works really well in my favor….
Friday Favorites: Week 21
How is it that this week felt so long even though I was on vacation for the first half of it? These kinds of weeks are supposed to fly by, but I’ve been struggling to make it through. Maybe my…

Friday Favorites: Week 9
Happy Friday the Thirteenth! I’m a little late getting this post out because our internet went out as soon as I decided to write. Probably just a ghost messing with us. Realistically, it was probably because they’re opening a metro…
Friday Favorites: Week 5
Ahh another week in the books. This week totally flew by for me. My aunt was in town over the weekend, and on Monday we went to the opera. I’d never been to the opera before, so it was super…
