I began my blog as a creative outlet. Here, I house a journal of my life through the years and offer inspiration on some of my favorite hobbies and passions. 

Some of my favorite moments have been experienced around a charcuterie plate with friends, sharing stories, sipping wine and enjoying an intentionally slow and carefree time together.

So much so, that when my husband and I are looking to create a date night at home or small gathering with close friends, we always choose to create a meat and cheese board.

It my no-fail go-to. It always contains at least a few (if not all) selections that our friends enjoy and encourages others to step out of the box and taste something new with no hard commitments.

Today I’m excited to share how I make my classic charcuterie board.

Today we are going to talk about setting goals for 2021.

Let’s face it, 2020 was not kind to our industry.

It had many of us hanging on for dear life and a good portion of us going into next season feeling like we may be entering another ride on the merry go round.

But, because we are go-getters and choose to have one of the most stressful careers out there, I know we can make it through.

However, we cannot do it without a plan for the future.

I highly recommend that you grab a pen and notebook. Because we’re about to cover some really important information.

I feel like a broken record when I say that the end of the year is truly my favorite time. It’s when I prepare for intentional time to reflect on the year, acknowledge the good, the bad and the ugly and set my intentions for the year ahead.

If gone through a lot of trial and error in my last couple years. Which was tough. It’s in my nature to give 100% to the goals I put in place, so it was definitely unlike myself and very uncomfortable to go through all this change. But while experiencing that discomfort, I also learned something new.

For those of you who’ve been following along on Instagram, I’m finally sharing the cocktail that you’ve seen me make over and over…and over and over.  We typically like to choose two holiday cocktails to stock on our cart during the holiday season, but because this is a “pandemic” holiday and it will most likely […]

Each year I host a holiday cocktail party the day after black Friday. It makes for a pretty busy week, but being an enneagram type one, it’s the busiest times that fuel my soul. Our cocktail party allows us to extend the invitation to our closest friends and family because we intentionally choose to keep […]

Life has the ability to serve us with more fulfillment than we may be aware. But it requires us to reciprocate by opening our minds, letting down our guards and creating space to welcome it in.  Have you ever taken a moment to notice all of the unique and life giving aspects you have to […]

Who would’ve thought that last week would’ve unfolded as it has?  Although the world hasn’t been serving a whole lot of confidence lately (whether you’ve been feeling it in the last month, the last several years or beyond) I still believed that as of last Monday, “my world” was still functioning as usual. Below is a picture […]

Although I believe that setting goals is an incredibly important annual task, Reflecting back and recognizing all that you’ve accomplished, is an even greater duty that you owe to yourself.  I will admit. I’m not the best at recognizing and sharing my accomplishments. I really dislike the feeling of “bragging” and although I know that […]

Sound the alarms! It’s my favorite time of the year!  And I can’t contain my excitement. Does anyone else get this excited about goal setting? Well then hit me up, because I can see us becoming fast friends.  Although I find so much energy in the last couple weeks of the year, I’ve also said […]
