May Updates & June Intentions.

Filed Under: Personal & Life Updates 12 Comments

[May Update] Start running again. I ran 9 times, for a total of 34 miles. Not a bad start after running 4 times and 18 miles in the previous four months.

On A Bit of Minimalist Travel // Why & How to Pack Lighter.

Filed Under: Minimalism & Decluttering, Travel 14 Comments

Even though I aspire toward minimalism in many aspects of my life (Gabe’s toys, my wardrobe, and how I’d rather get rid of stuff than organize it), I have never been a light traveler.

What I'm Working On // Anthony's Senior Pictures.

Filed Under: Personal & Life Updates 11 Comments

Let me introduce you to my youngest sibling. I can hardly believe he is graduating from high school. Which means I graduated from high school a DECADE ago. But this is about him, not me. And he is really awesome, you guys. I have three sisters and love having sisters. And I liked having a baby/toddler/littleRead the whole post >>
