I've been absent from my blog for a year now. In that time, I reverted to my low maintenance hobbies in the little free time I had between work and applying for school. Without further ado, here are a few recommendations from the last few months.

Chances are if you’ve ever interviewed for a job you’ve been asked this question. You absolutely need an answer to this prepared and in your arsenal. One thing I want to preface this with is that these answers need to come…
For Valentine's Day this year, Shaun bought me the Couple's Edition of The Adventure Challenge. If you somehow haven't seen 500 Instagram ads about it, it's a book with a bunch of date ideas in it.

Last year I walked you through a slide show on my 2020 New Year's Resolutions. I started 2020 with optimism and drive to accomplish everything I listed. Then the world shut down and blew up my whole plan. Lesson learned. This year my resolutions are (hopefully) pandemic and apocalypse-proof.
It’s no secret that the holiday season is STRESSFUL. Between shopping for presents, decorating, navigating family drama, and now dealing with COVID, a lot of us are going to get to the end of our rope pretty quickly.
