    Environmental Documentaries are Making me Cry

    October 9, 2020 /

    Now before I get into this, I just want to say, although I feel things deeply I normally don't show them externally. Friends, family, and memories can make me cry, but very few movies or television shows do. And the ones that can make me tear up normally hit on a very specific feeling or memory that I can relate to. That is why these documentaries caught me off guard and that is why I decided to write this post. I wanted to not only share these awesome documentaries, but explore why they touched me the way they did and see if I can process it and properly verbalize it.

    Making Myself at Home – Part 2: Living Room and Kitchen

    October 5, 2020 /

    After completing our bathroom makeover, I felt amazing! So much better than I ever anticipated. My bathroom now brings me joy and after we finished it, I can honestly say it was my favorite room. I liked getting ready in there, I loved taking long showers, everything about the room had improved exponentially for me. And I wanted that for the rest of the house so...we moved on to the kitchen and living room.

Here's a photo from my last adventure and a quote to kick off your Saturday - "Optimism is a strategy for making a better future. Because unless you believe that the future can be better, you are unlikely to step up and take responsibility for making it so." - Noam Chomsky

With the expectations of social media, she doesn't get featured as much as she should, but long conversations and stinky cuddles will always be the favorite parts of my day 🐾

Then during COVID I finally had my chance to visit and I've gone twice over the last 2 years. From the minute I stepped foot in that magical desert I was in love. It was everything I dreamt of and more. During our first visit my husband and I explored all the different campgrounds and I knew I had to come sleep under the stars here. It took two years, but our trip is finally set and I can't wait!
