This past semester in the teaching program was rough. Like really rough. I mean this past year has been crazy with wedding planning, but it finally got to a point where I needed to get real with myself and figure out how to not feel like a nervous wreck constantly. I needed to focus…

Gold Stars and Demerits
I listen to a podcast by Gretchen Ruben called Happier, based on her book Happier and she and her sister talk about their wins and fails at the end of each podcast. They call them gold stars and demerits. I like the “gold star” because I will be an elementary teacher in a couple of years…
Dear Diary, I’m 30.
It’s been awhile, but I don’t want to waste time apologizing for my absence. It’s been weird, but freeing to not blog regularly this year. I’m 30 and I’m blogging. I’ve gotten to the point where I wish I could just start blogging over again where NO ONE was reading. When I knew no one…

Being happy all the time while crafting Pinterest-worthy meals and crafts and workouts. The…
