We are inundated with exorbitant amounts of information on a daily basis, and to be honest, I am surprised that anyone remembers anything. Between the incessant red bubbles popping up on our phones, the technology that allows us to chat with multiple people simultaneously, and …
Recently, I’ve been really into working on the goals I set for this year, but I know that normally by February the goal motivation and energy of many have already started to run out. I have always been a goal-oriented person, but I realize that …
If you are like me, you love to read, but sometimes struggle with getting back into a reading habit if it’s been a little while since you’ve picked up a book. I lost my reading momentum earlier this year and had a hard time trying …
After a much-needed break, I am back with a fun post (well, at least in my opinion): a list of projects that I have done while in quarantine! While I recently wrote a similar post that gave an honest, high-level, realistic account of what quarantine …
Up until recently, I was one of those people that had thousands of unorganized photos on my phone’s camera roll. It was only when I almost lost 4,000 of my precious iPhone photos (you can read more about that horrible situation here), that I decided …
If you couldn’t already tell, memory keeping is a huge hobby and passion of mine. In addition to chronicling photos, journaling daily, and creating annual photo books, another way that I preserve my memories is by keeping memory boxes. What is a memory box, you …

I have been documenting my memories and keeping journals since I was little. I used to start every family vacation and sleep-away camp with a blank notebook, and would return home with a journal bursting with notes, memories, tickets, brochures, and small trinkets pasted to …
I wish I were a paper-and-pen kind of planner. Truth be told, pre-iPhone, I actually was a paper-and-pen planner. There is something about writing in a physical planner, personalizing it, and color-coding it with pens and highlighters that makes me happy. Every year when new, …
In today’s fast-paced world, it is common for people to feel anxious and overwhelmed. These feelings have only been exacerbated by the fears and worries surrounding COVID-19 and how it has been impacting everyone’s life. One of the things that helps me alleviate anxiety and …
I spend the majority of my working hours in my at-home office, but when you work from home, it’s nice to go out and get a change of scenery every one in a while. One of my favorite places to rid myself of my cabin …
I decided to keep my last name before I even got engaged. Actually, I decided to keep my last name before J and I even started dating. When I told him this, all he said was “I don’t want to change my name, so you …
The other weekend, J and I went to Enchant Christmas DC. Enchant Christmas is a Christmas light maze and market set up at Nationals Park that is well-known for its magical light maze. We walked around the maze for about an hour, seizing every photo …
