Whether I’m driving, working out or doing any non-writing work, I am almost constantly listening to something! (To the point that I was recently talking to my husband about that constant need for an auditory distraction and learning to be more content in the quiet…but that’s another topic for another time!) When it comes to what […]

Friday Favorites: Horse Showing, Concerts, and Engagement Photos!
The last several weeks have been full of so many good things (and it’s been so long since I blogged about any of them!) that it was difficult to narrow down what to share in this post – and difficult to narrow down my commentary on each thing! But here are five things that I’ve […]

Final Month in Florida
I admittedly started writing this blog post as a ‘Friday Favorites’ post of some of my favorite things from life recently…However, after writing “my final month in Florida” as just one thing on a bulleted list of five favorites – and realizing that I’d included about 15 photos with that bullet point alone – I […]

Barn Days With Emerson (and the Best Breeches Under $40!)
One of my many current goals is cultivating my almost two-year-old niece, Emerson (“Emme”), into a better, miniature version of myself. I think I’m on the right track, as thus far, my sister has reported that she loves Oreos, writing in a planner, “reading” books that I also enjoy (a.k.a. she’s currently regularly carrying around […]

Five Equestrian Related Non-Profits to Support This #GivingTuesday
One of my dreams is to just be a philanthropist and give extensively of both my time and money to charities that I’m passionate about; however, as several friends like to remind me, you usually need money to be a philanthropist…and if we’re honest, I’m probably currently more in the state of being a charity […]
