It is time, it has been time, to check my white privilege at the door and do the work to dismantle the systematic racism that permeates throughout our country.
Enough is enough.

Reading a book, reading 50 books, about racial injustice isn’t enough on its own but it will help inform the conversations we have going forward and identify implicit racism in the world around us.
After I read these books, I would like to pass each book on to a different person with the condition that they must also pass the book onto another person. Leave a comment, send a message, let me know.
If you’d like to talk about the protests/systemic racism/white privilege so you can determine what first step you can take today to do better in addressing racism, I’m happy to talk. #blacklivesmatter

It’s been a long time since I’ve read a physical book. In isolation I’ve had the attention span for audiobooks and, only recently, e-books from the library. Turns out it only took an incredibly gripping book to reaffirm my appreciation for the paper version. If you haven’t already, read this book.

No clever caption, just a picture of last night’s fire that I’m very proud of. The fire, not the picture, although that’s nice too.

How to Stay Sane While Moving

January 18, 2018 | Posted in: Lifestyle

This post contains affiliate links. Thank you for supporting this blog!

I am no stranger to moving – you can read my other posts about moving here. The move from IL to TN was by far our biggest move yet and, in some ways, the most unorthodox move. That being said, I think I managed to remain the most calm during this particular move given all of the practice I’ve had. Today, I’m sharing the insight I applied this time around in the hopes that you will stay sane during your next move.

How to Clear Out Before Moving

May 25, 2017 | Posted in: Lifestyle

Thankfully, the picture above is not of my own house but rather one of my favorite bookstores because books are heavy to move. In chatting with a handful of my blogging pals on Twitter over the last few weeks, I’ve come to the realization that a good number of us will be moving soon. If you’ve read my post sharing tips for moving in your twenties, then you know just how much I love this process (yes, that is sarcasm you’ve detected). As I am also going to be moving soon, I thought I’d write down and share my process for clearing out my junk stuff with you.

August 9, 2016 | Posted in: College, Lifestyle

Today, I’ll be sharing my biggest packing tips to hopefully save you a lot of headache (read as: blood, sweat and tears) during your next move.

How to Reduce Household Waste

July 16, 2018 | Posted in: Green Living, Lifestyle

I hate throwing things away. Not in a hoarder way, but in an anti-waste way. Few things get me riled up quite like throwing away food – I’ll get to that later. It wasn’t until moving to Nashville, where recycling seems to be rare, that I was forced to wrestle with this more seriously. Do I succumb to the throw-out nature that is my new community or do I figure out a way to make it work for me? It took some trial and error but I am happy to say that after living in Nashville for nearly a year, I am making it work for me. Today, I’m sharing what I do to minimize our household waste. That includes food, single-use items and larger things.
