Happy {Last Day of Work} Friday


Today is my last day of work! It feels crazy to say but for the next 5+ months {at least} I don’t have to log in to my computer Monday thru Friday and deal with the constant grind of a desk job. I’m not naive enough to think that motherhood is going to be easy by any means, but I think it’ll be a much better and more rewarding season than the 9-5 that I do now. Cheers to closing the laptop for a long, long time :)

Pandemic Musings


Thinking about how it’s been 6 whole years since the start of the pandemic and how much has changed since then {and how much has stayed the same}. I’m still working from home, but from a different home than I started with and at a different job. I’m still with the same great man, but now we’re married and growing our family any day now. I’ve lost touch with old friends, but have reconnected with others, and I’ve gotten waaaayyy too comfortable in loungewear {even though I still love clothes and fashion}. What a strange time we’ve lived through - I remember how all consuming illness seemed to be at the time, and now we can go days or weeks without thinking about getting sick {though new cases of measles are popping up everywhere - do people not learn?}. It’s interesting to me to think back on that time - it’s like there’s a before and an after and a very long “in it”, and we’re all changed forever, whether for good or for bad {but I’d argue the sweatpants are a definite good:) }. A strange, strange time indeed.

Weekend Work


After what felt like forever, Mom & Dad are finally back from AZ so of course we instantly put them to work helping us organize the house.  They came down Sunday and spent the gorgeous day having lunch at Maggie Bluffs, picking up a glider for the nursery from Erika & Joe, and hauling out a bunch of furniture that no longer will fit in our house.  I appreciate the help so much {and am so glad we got a beautiful day to do it before baby makes it's debut} and now we're ready to start decorating and nesting.  Thanks again to the best parents in the world!

Happy Friday!


Happy Friday!  It's supposed to be a beautiful weekend here and I'm excited for some sunshine, walks, finishing up things on the never ending to do list, and lots of naps.  Cheers!
