Up until just last summer, the walls of my bedroom at my parents’ house were lined with horse show ribbons, and I know for a fact* that I’m not the only young rider who grew up with horse show ribbons as a major form of bedroom decor. (*This fact is based on 90 percent of my horse […]

Life Lately: March Wedding Photos!
It’s been quite a bit since I’ve updated on life, my whereabouts or really much of anything at all! As of earlier this month, following my annual road trip north (which Justin generously and voluntarily flew down to be a part of this time!), I’m now back in Pennsylvania for much of the summer and fall! […]
How To: Marathon Medal Shadow Boxes
Let’s be honest, there are two major reasons why I run: 1. The more you run, the more you can eat carbs, ice cream and Oreos without turning into a whale. 2. If you do said running in the form of a race, you get some really awesome medals! I love the medals that I’ve […]
First Time Visitor’s Guide to Peanut Island!
As I mentioned here, last week my boyfriend, Justin, made his second visit to Wellington for the winter, and it was so great having him here!! The poor guy has to spend a good chunk of his visits tagging along to horse related things like the horse show or watching me ride, but he’s also given me […]
Friday Favorites (and where has all of WEF gone!?)
Happy Friday!! I can’t believe that it’s already WEEK EIGHT of the 12 week Winter Equestrian Festival (WEF) season, and in just about a month I’ll already be heading back up north for the summer! Less surprising than the fact that the season has absolutely flown by is the fact that this is my first ‘Friday […]
WEF and WordPress
A word to the wise/any current or future bloggers/anyone who makes poor decisions like I occasionally do: if you’ve been thinking about transferring your blog from Blogger to WordPress, 10:30 p.m. on a Thursday night on a whim is probably not the best time to do it…contrary to what I seemed to think, whole new […]
Highlights From Home for the Holidays
We’re just five short days away from the start of Winter Equestrian Festival (WEF) season (!!!), but before I dive into the busyness of season and all things WEF on here, I wanted to do a “take five minutes to just dump photos on the blog” style recap of my fantastic two weeks at home […]
I Would Drive 500 Miles, and I Would Drive 500 More…
Every year, I really, really look forward to heading back to Wellington for the Winter Equestrian Festival (WEF) season…but every year, I really, really don’t look forward to making the 1,100+ mile drive south. With that said, I’m fortunate that I’m always able to split it up over at least two days, and I […]
