A midwest girls pursuit of travel, fashion, food and martinis
Happy Monday everyone! This weekend didn't turn out how I was hoping weather wise (where was the sunshine?) but other than that it was good. Did get some patio drinking in which is what inspired today's post: how to stay motivated in the summer months. When the weather starts warming up and the days get… Continue reading #motivationmonday
In 42 days I will be embarking on a wine country adventure with my mother. For Christmas we gifted her a vacation in California wine country as she is an avid wine drinker and has never been to California. For that matter neither have I. So it seemed like the perfect opportunity. I am a… Continue reading Napa Valley/ Sonoma Trip
Alright this is something that I've struggled with and I feel at the age of 32 I should have figured something out, but I haven't. Ladies, how do you find the motivation to run or workout the first day or two of your period? Seriously I have ZERO energy and between the cramps and other… Continue reading #motivationmonday
So after taking on the role of EVP for the Junior League and the hubs taking a new job for a start up we decided we had to switch up the home office situation. I don't really have any pictures of our office before because it was usually a bottomless pit of papers to sort… Continue reading Office Makeover
Follow my blog with Bloglovin I used to do this on Mondays and thought I'd bring it back because I am definitely lacking in the motivation department. I have 10 weeks before the Dam to Dam and lets just say I have my work cut out for me. I have definitely been hiding behind my… Continue reading #motivationmonday
Bringing back the TGIF posts! This week was fairly uneventful, it's spring break for a lot of people at work which tends to make for a quite couple weeks in March. I'm not complaining though as I get to work from home today. The high of my week was: Booking the Napa Wine Train for my… Continue reading TGIF
I still struggle with this even after being in the workforce full time now for a decade. Definitely not as much as before, but every once and a while I get the Sunday scaries. I will obsessively check my work email for things that I missed, check calendars for meetings I'm unprepared for. 99% of… Continue reading Workplace Inadequacy
I haven't been around for a long time. Like over a year. I don't know what really happened. Admittedly 2016 was an off year for me. I don't really know what it was but I just didn't feel like myself for the majority of it. I wish I could pinpoint what it was to make… Continue reading Well Hello There…
Okay so confession time: After my stress fracture I basically fell off the fitness wagon. Which is so shameful to admit when prior to that unfortunate incident I was running 16+ miles (somewhat) easy peasy. Marathon training is grueling and there are a lot of things, for me at least, that I have to cut… Continue reading Fitness
I've wanted to come back here for a while, but I haven't really known how. What would I write about? I'm still figuring it out so this post will probably be a bit scattered. So first I'm going to do a plug for some music that has been on repeat in my house for quite… Continue reading Starting Fresh
