About the Blog

I was born in the South, where I must have been bottle-fed on my grandmother’s sweet tea because my tolerance for sugar in my beverages is positively unhealthy. After a short stint living on a dairy farm in Pennsylvania, I spent the majority of my childhood in California before heading off to the best journalism school in the country in Missouri. I spent five months after graduation living in New Mexico working for a national adventure-travel magazine, then 10 months traveling the country as a leadership consultant for my sorority before finally settling down with my fiancĂ© in the Bay Area of California, where I now blog about travel, books and other things that make me happy. 

If this is your first visit to my blog, here are some posts to get you started:

Current projects include the Semi-Charmed Winter 2014 Book Challenge:

I found you through BBN as I was looking for bloggers in NM! I'm from Pennsylvania, live in Montana and will be moving to NM this year for grad school. Glad to know there is at least one other lifestyle blogger in the state ;] My boyfriend lived in Santa Fe for 8 years so we're hoping to both work there. Love the blog, can't wait to follow along!

I was in Albuquerque first week in April to spend time with a friend. She is an out and about person so we had a good time. I will send her your blog page and ask her to connect. I went to Taos from there having been to Santa Fe a few years back but now feel I have to go again. Such a wonderful area all of those places. Love your blogs. I am in Toronto Canada.

I absolutely love your "about me" page. I moved around A LOT when I was little and might totally steal your US map idea! I didn't know about the Sunday Currently and really like that. I'll have to try it out this next weekend!

Hi! Found you via Monday Mingling with Southern Sunflowers and Coffee Beans (Instagram Edition).

Love your About Me page! I'm heading over to read a few of your posts right now (especially the one about the Kindle. I was gifted one but can't get myself to open it.) and look around a bit.

Have a great day!

Great blog. My husband and I moved to Brazil after living in San Jose for a couple of years. We'd love to go back to the Bay Area, but it's just so expensive there. Thanks for checking out my blog. See you later!
