This post is coming a bit late but one that I need to share as we continue to celebrate Memorial Day. A few weeks ago, my Mads and I were driving home from my parents’ house. And, like any other day, we hit a small patch of traffic. Longest traffic light ever. My mind wandered, and I started looking at the cars and trucks to my right. One white truck stood out. It had a memorial sticker for a fallen...

Words for the Week + Weekly Wishes #10
Woah. It’s been a hot minute for Weekly Wishes. Life gets in the way and neglecting goals can happen. Not the greatest excuse, but that’s where we are, friends.

I mean, she’s very honest with her opinions. And I just love hearing...

Walk Down Memory Lane
My main squeeze and I had a few quiet moments to ourselves this weekend so we decided to take a trip down memory lane. We went back to where it all began. The beginning of us near Tower Grove Park in the Southwest Garden District. One thing I will always love about this area are the tree-lined streets. Yes, we had our fair share of pollen-covered windshields and friendly birds making themselves comfortable on the roofs of our cars, but...
