I guess I need to change my blog name. In November 2024, Tyler and I added a dog to our family. An English Cream Golden Retriever named Gryffin. Yes, we are millennials. Yes, he’s named after Gryffindor from Harry Potter- also yes he has the Gryffindor harness and all the Harry Potter Bark toys. It…
I had my last day at my job Friday. It was my choice. I resigned and left on great terms. They countered and offered me a promotion. My director advised me I was one of the only people he’s ever done that for. I greatly appreciated being valued but politely declined. There were reasons why…
I met a friend for coffee. She recently went through a disastrous breakup with a loser she thought was “the one” and is dating again and told me all her dating horror stories and that’s she’s still hurt by her ex and asked how on earth she could find a guy and be married and…
I’ve heard if you’re friends for longer than seven years that your friendship is for life. I knew of Ivy and had met her several times throughout my life before we really connected in 2017 (seven years ago). We’re actually relatives.

Pre-Covid, I made a giant career change. Before my move, I spent years and moved up the ladder quickly in the hospitality industry. I worked 90+ hours a week and moved things heavier than myself. I loved it, but it wasn’t sustainable. It was a decade (well, almost) of go-go-go and high adrenaline just getting…
“Lindsay’s back” said Samantha, my hair stylist of ten+ years as she was blow drying the bangs I’ve been trying to grow out for God knows how long… To be honest my relationship with her has lasted longer than most of my jobs, friendships, and every single romantic relationship. She knows more about me and…
I started drinking coffee in high school. It was mostly cream and sugar with a splash of coffee. In college, I got my gold card at Starbucks. Caramel Machiattos and Vanilla lattes were my go to. Then working 80+ hours and little sleep it then became a Americano or anything with an extra shot of…
“I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day, and I believe in miracles”- Audrey Hepburn Vintage has been a large part of my style since college. Wiggle dresses, swing dresses, wool skirt, sweaters, Malco Modes petticoats,…
