In case you’re new around here, I’m currently working on my second 101 in 1001 list, which is a list of 101 goals or things I hope to complete/do in 1,001 days (which translates to about 2.75 years). This format for goal-setting has been highly motivating for me because it combines the power of a …
Loving and Learning Lately {41}
Welcome to Round 41 of this little series I started of all the things in life I’m loving and learning lately! Here you’ll find everything from the books I’m currently reading to the products I’m loving to the shows I’m watching (which, spoiler alert–won’t be very many or very exciting, since I’m not a huge …
2022 Financial Goals
Confession: I don’t even really think it’s remotely possible for us to complete all of these this year, unless Matt gets a large raise at work and we actually make a decent profit this second year of flower farming.

Top Reads of 2021
If I thought 2020 was a weird reading year for me, I had no idea how much weirder 2021 would be. Between starting a flower farm, taking on a part-time job at the local newspaper, and just dealing with the general craziness that is life right now with 3 young kids, I did not read …
Top 10 Blog Posts of 2021 {+ Instagram Top 9}
Ever since 2016, I’ve done a round-up at the end of year of the top 10 posts on the blog as well as the top 9 posts on my Instagram. Now, my personal IG took a beating this year — I only posted 6 pictures total, so clearly that won’t be the IG account with …

I appreciate every single one of you, and I hope you have a restful end to your 2021! Yesterday (Christmas Eve), we spent all …
