After a challenging 2015, both personally and professionally, I've decided to make some changes in the New Year. I've never been a fan of New Years resolutions so instead I'll call them goals - I believe setting goals is important as it gives us something to strive for. 2016 Goals Travel more… for pleasure. This past... Continue Reading →
I was pleasantly surprised recently when my blogger friend Lara of My Other More Exciting Self nominated me for a Liebster Award. Thank you, Lara!

If you're a regular reader of this blog you've probably figured out by now that my Wordless Wednesdays are not really wordless. Guess I'm not really a wordless kind of girl. I love sharing photos but usually feel they need some kind of caption. Maybe one day I'll surprise you all with a real Wordless Wednesday... Continue Reading →
