It’s been a minute since I’ve written just to write. We’re talking sometime around when the world started to change drastically [March, I’m looking at you]. But, here I am, sipping a honey lavender latte in a hipster coffee shop pretending that I’m as cool as the people sitting next to me with something equally…

Life On The Lake
Disclosure: Thank you to Backcountry and ShopStyle for sponsoring today’s post. All products were purchased, worn and loved by yours truly. It’s been over a month now since we’ve moved to the lake and friends, I have to admit – I’ve never loved being in a home [and backyard] more. There’s just something about being…
The World Is Your Oyster
It’s literally the last sentence that popped up on my Slack thread so we’re going with it. It’s also one of my favorite sayings ever known to mankind so there’s that. I’m a big “say yes to everything” “live out your passions” “buy the boat, take the trip, eat the gallon of queso” type of…
5 Ways I’m Calming My Anxiety
Disclosure: Thank you to Backcountry and ShopStyle for sponsoring today’s post. All products were selected, purchased and worn by yours truly! Depending on how long you’ve been a follower of LIY, you may or may not know that struggles with anxiety and panic attacks has been something I’ve been oh so fortunate [sarcasm] to deal…
Currently I’m….
It’s been a minute since I’ve written one of these “currently I’m” posts but they are always fun to put together and don’t require much effort which is right down my alley — fun without work, sums me up in a nutshell. While it may not feel like I’m currently doing much of anything these…
From Where I Sit…
This morning I was getting ready for the day and Shawn told me to look through the window at my favorite Willow Tree on our property. The wind was blowing the branches perfectly, the sun was shining making the pond water sparkle like 1,000 diamonds [which reminds me, I still need to get my wedding…
There Are Highs and There Are Lows…
This whole quarantine life stuff is weird. It’s like a giant case of PMS that doesn’t end. Somedays I’m feeling great, productive, hopeful that the end is in sight and then other days I don’t want to get out of bed, putting makeup on seems like a joke and I want to stay in all…
That Time I Talked About Nothing.
I’m sitting here drinking a Pepsi [mini, 100 calories, stop judging] and eating a banana [#balance] while listening to good ole Thomas Rhett forcing myself to type these words. Just yesterday I proclaimed that for the next 30 days I am dedicating 30 minutes a day to just write. Well guess what folks? Right now…
Hitting The Refresh Button on My Mornings
I’m coming to you at 6:42 am, full of excitement [okay and tired eyes that I’m still rubbing trying to get all of the gunk out of – which can we just talk about, what is THAT stuff and where did it come from overnight?] to spend some quiet time with you. I made a…
In The Moment
Coming to you live and in the moment, without any special thing to talk about but rather an an open mind and an empty stomach. It turns out fasting has a way of doing that to you. More on that later. I could not fall asleep last night for the life of me [it certainly…
