A fun fact about our wedding is that despite my type-A attention to detail and planning, we didn’t actually practice our first dance until the cocktail hour right before our reception. It’s why in the majority of the photos from our first dance we’re laughing, and why something I was pretty nervous about (hundreds of… Continue reading 2 years of marriage

Friday vibes: February 10
This week was one of those weeks where I took a step back and thought, “wow I love my job.” On Tuesday I got to take an “adult field trip” aka Destination Training for one of our clients, which basically meant I got to hop on a bus and visit a bunch of different tourist… Continue reading Friday vibes: February 10

“Don’t half-ass anything. Whatever you do, always use your full ass.”
Healthy recipes that don’t suck
Most of my childhood I was lanky. My mother bought me endless pairs of overalls because they were the only pants that would stay up. I finally filled out in high school and was able to maintain a size 4 simply by eating whatever I wanted (+organized sports). This pretty much continued through college until… Continue reading Healthy recipes that don’t suck
Friday vibes: February 3
I’ll be honest, I was not sad to see January go. Between my promotion, being down one team member, and ramping up my involvement in PRSA, I spent this past month in a constant state of hustle. I don’t see it slowing down anytime soon, but I do have quite a few things to look… Continue reading Friday vibes: February 3
Wednesday Words – Why Not Me?
“It’s traumatizing to think that a best friend could become just a friend. That’s because there’s virtually no difference between an acquaintance and a friend. But the gulf between a friend and a best friend is enormous and profound. And if I look at it that way, I think I can see the value of… Continue reading Wednesday Words – Why Not Me?
How to be the most informed girl at the water cooler
When I first enrolled in undergrad, I declared my major as journalism. I loved to write, and I loved to play anchor in front of the green screen in our broadcast studio, but the problem was that I didn’t love the news. Especially the local news. I wish I did. I wish I could be… Continue reading How to be the most informed girl at the water cooler
How we slashed $10k from our wedding budget
When MPR & I first started planning our wedding, we suffered from severe sticker shock. So we took a step back, and using my account management and media planning skills as a PR girl, I built a beautiful spreadsheet that we held near & dear to our hearts (and our wallets!) over our 2-year engagement.… Continue reading How we slashed $10k from our wedding budget
Friday vibes: January 13
In 2016 I traveled a lot for business. Like, more than I traveled in my previous 27 years combined. So I’m starting 2017 with a serious case of wanderlust, but for personal travel. It’s kind of hard when we’re also saving up for a house down payment, but that’s a #firstworldproblem if I’ve ever heard… Continue reading Friday vibes: January 13
Wednesday Words – Brené Brown
“We are the most in-debt, obese, addicted, and medicated adult cohort in US history. The problem is, and I learned this from the research, that you cannot selectively numb emotion. You can’t say, ‘here’s the bad stuff, here’s vulnerability, here’s grief, here’s shame, here’s fear, here’s disappointment, I don’t want to feel these. I’m gonna… Continue reading Wednesday Words – Brené Brown
