Last month I shared the first post of my new “Reflecting on…” series. My intent with this series is to close out each month with a reflection on something. Some months might be a personal reflection, like I did HERE when I shared my thoughts on being 41 before I turned 42; others might be related to home stuff, like I’m intending for this post. Honestly, I’m not sure what will flow from my fingers today as I take some time to reflect on… being a Weekend Warrior!

Monday Musings: 6 years ago today…
I’ve been procrastinating this post for hours now. I didn’t want to write it. I still don’t. I don’t want to confront my feelings. Even though I knew it would happen someday, I never wanted it to be true. But it is. And now, today, it’s six years since my dad died.

Monday Musings: Future Planning
I am most certainly a card-carrying planner through and through. I love brainstorming details of a plan, hashing out the logistics, setting a color code with pens and markers and higlighters, etc. The executing is a different story… and something I’m still working on.

Days In My Life
Let me start by saying that the original title for this post in my editorial calendar was “DIML: My First (and Last?) Vlog.”

Reflecting on… 41
I’m two days away from my 42nd birthday. Where has the time gone? I feel like just yesterday I was 16– at a surprise party thrown by my best friend, 22– a few months away from graduating college, 31– on the verge of buying my first home, 36– a month shy from losing my father…yet here we are. I feel like so much has changed and, at the same time, so little has changed. What an odd way to find myself today.

How to Plan a Staycation
Every year (at least in recent history) I take a week off of work at the end of January for my birthday, because why not? I have the vacation days and I don’t want to work on my birthday and I like me a good ol’ staycation.

Monday Musings: How I Plan My Life
Good morning! Welcome to the first Monday Musings post of 2026! My intention here is to check in weekly with something non-design related whereas the rest of my weekly posts will be more in that realm (not always though). My goal is for these to be short posts… 300ish words, thought I’m not entirely tied to that, or optimistic I can be so short winded lol…

2025 Goal Check-in!
It’s the last day of 2025! My new goals are already set (more on that next week!), but before I close out the year, I wanted to circle back around to my goals for 2025 and see how I did since my last check in HERE. Shall we?
