January was a doozy. Good riddance, I’m happy to leave it behind. I’m hoping February will be much better. It shouldn’t be difficult. I appreciate that February is always filled with love from the very beginning, with red and pink lining the shelves of the store and chocolate, flowers, and gummies filling our carts. It’s…
pistachio cinnamon morning buns
I realized last night that after the long weekend last week, I never got around to posting. Whoops! We were on the road on Tuesday and it felt like our routine was totally off until the weekend came and we got a reset. While I missed you last week, these pistachio cinnamon morning buns were…
2019 reading list
One of my 2019 goals is to read more. In the past few years, I have read here and there, mostly on bus rides to and from work, but aside from that broken up time, I fell out of the habit of reading regularly. Growing up, I loved to read! I would hide under the…
orange almond granola
Every January I get the urge to make granola. Once the new year hits, I want a fairly healthy breakfast and snack that I can take on the go, combining my renewed ambitions to amp up my time management skills and make healthy choices. The only problem is that I love it so much that…
january goals
The first installment of my 2019 monthly goals is here with January goals! Last year I found myself adding goals to the list that I knew I would complete, or just things I had planned to do. Often plans and goals overlap, but this year I also want to be more intentional about taking steps…
2019 goals
This year is a year of change. We will find out where Will will do his medical residency in March, he graduates from medical school in May, and we will have to be wherever residency is by mid-June. Even if we end up staying at a program in the area, the first year of residency…
2018 in review
I posted on my Instagram on New Year’s Eve that the theme of 2018 for me was on-the-go. I am often on the go in my everyday life, with the feeling that I always need to be doing something, not just sitting around (one of the reasons I started this blog), but in addition to…
nyc at christmas time
It’s been a while, but I’m back! At the beginning of December, Will and I took a week-long trip to the Northeast for his residency interviews. His last day of interviews for the week was in New York City, so I took the day to walk around and see the city decked out for Christmas….
holiday bucket list
Originally, I wasn’t planning on doing a holiday bucket list. I love my seasonal bucket lists, but the holidays always get so hectic and busy that I didn’t want to add another item to check off. Then, after scrolling through photos of beautiful holiday decor I realized that I already have a mental holiday bucket…
marbled peppermint sugar cookies
It is Christmas cookie season! Making Christmas cookies is one of my favorite holiday activities, and I am so excited to share these fun marbled peppermint sugar cookies with you. I first made these last year and loved them so much that I knew I needed to make them again for the blog. They are…
