Wedding Reflections
I was going to do this post on my four year anniversary, but then I got nasty sick and didn’t actually celebrate my anniversary or do anything at all except be semiconscious and hallucinate Teletubbies dancing on my ceiling. So, I’m posting it the day my husband and I actually celebrate our four year anniversary.

5 Delights Since We Last Chatted
Ermigersh you guys, I’m sorry. Well, I’m not actually sorry. I got sick for 17ish days and didn’t feel like looking at a computer, let alone forming thoughts and typing them out. My flu symptoms were over the day of the T-Swift concert, so I went, but then had a terrible cough and sore throat

Eras: Emily Edition
Oh my lordy you guys, what a week. So, in anticipation of Taylor Swift’s Eras tour tomorrow that I am lucky enough to have tickets to, I spent last weekend doing a photoshoot challenge with the help of friends of mine (much cooler and more tolerant than me).

The Imitation Game: Dressing to be Somebody Else

Planning to be Perfect
I like to think I’m a planner person. That is, I’ve gone through most of my life with the idea that if I bought the right kind of planner–organized in a certain way with the correct categories–then I would have no choice but to start great habits and have an awesome life. Yes, this was

The Woods: a Frenemy for Life
I was born in the trees. Not literally, I slipped screaming into this world in a hospital in Brainerd, Minnesota, but when I reflect on my childhood I see towering pines, birch, and poplars as far as the eye could see (though, given how short I am, that’s not a tall order. Pun intended). Our

5 Delights from this Week
(Actually 5 delights from LAST week…) Hello my fellow Babblers! One thing I really missed about blogging was thinking about all the things that I was grateful for or brought me joy each week. I mean, yes, I could have (and should have) just done that anyway blog or no blog, but I didn’t. Shocker,

Back and Babbling
Hi Friends. It’s sure been awhile, hasn’t it? In the years since I last wrote a post, preteens have graduated high school! Newborns have started Kindergarten! A bunch of other things not school related also happened! Some awesome things, like: -Getting married (in 2019 right before the pandemic. Woofta!). -Moving to a new house (also in

Top 10 Things I Love Right Now
Today happens to be the two year anniversary of my first post on this blog! It doesn’t seem like that long. Two years ago I was a wee 23 year old living in the big city (just kidding, it was a suburb only pretending) with two lowish-paying jobs each pulling one of my strings apart
Let’s Wander.
