I don’t know how else to say this, so I’ll just come right out with it.
I was very uncomfortable in my own skin.

Whoever Said “It’s the Journey” Clearly Had TSA PreCheck and a Trust Fund
/
Whoever said “it’s not the destination, it’s the journey,” has either never flown economy or has seriously low standards. I hate to break it to you — but traveling kinda sucks. Sure, seeing new places is amazing, but the actual getting there part? A parade of stress, discomfort, and disappointment wrapped in a neck pillow.

Read MoreA long weekend leaf peeping in Vermont
/
This year for our two-year wedding anniversary, my husband James and I decided to take a long weekend getaway to Vermont. Known for its stunning fall foliage, quaint towns, and picturesque landscapes, we thought it would be the perfect backdrop for our celebration and we had been planning this trip for pretty much the entirety of our marriage. While some parts of the trip exceeded our expectations, others were a bit of a letdown. But in the end, it was still a perfect anniversary escape and that’s truly all that matters - and it made for a great story…

I’ve been feeling the itch to write lately, but honestly, I haven’t had a whole lot to write about.
Things are slow, but steady in my life. I have zero things to complain about, but I have don’t have anything super exciting to celebrate at the moment either.
But I was doing a little maintenance around my site today and I stumbled back upon and old post I titled “Top 10 Travel Bucket List,” which I had completely forgotten about.

And a few more of them that I’ve lost interest in visiting for one reason or another; so, I thought it might be fun to write out an updated list. If only just to help myself keep track of where I should book next. 😉

It’s a new year and maybe it’s the Sagittarius in me, or maybe I was just born with it, but that’s the perfect excuse to reinvent myself, yet again. 😏😏 And for me, that means a whole slew of new fixations that will become my entire personality for an extended period of time. I’ve seen the trend going around online of people making their ins and outs list, and while I feel like that’s a bit played out, I have been thinking about my current ins a lot lately; so much so that some of my current obsessions are legit keeping me awake at night.
