weekend

A week or so ago my wife + I were sick. I was home for days and then she got sick just in time for us to wallow around with our early autumn colds…

I clock out of work at lunch on Fridays – which is a super luxury, I know. And, if I don’t have anything planned for the afternoon (which I usually don’t), then I head…

It’s totally possible to head to a ski resort for a long weekend in the mountains and not ski. And I’m proof of that. You see, I’m not a fan of skiing. But, I…

Hello from the breathtaking Swedish mountains! That’s right… I took three days off from work + joined my love and her family up here at the cozy beautiful ski resort known as Lindvallen. I’ve…

Happy weekend, loves. Yesterday I woke up and thought: Let’s do a day in the life! Not because I was doing anything super special during the day, but just because the idea came to…

I started a routine during the holidays that has seemed to just stick with me. Of course, during the holidays I practiced my daily outside time every single morning. Now, it’s not really feasible…

Don’t you just love waking up on a Monday morning, with a whole new week stretched out in front of you, and you feel rested + ready + inspired? Let’s be honest, it’s not…

With all of the excitement + busy-ness of the summer, all of the fun of having visitors, all of the emotions of saying farewell to summer, and all of the getting back in the…

I’m so lucky to have the friends I have. And I’m talking to all of you out there, near and far. And I’m even luckier + happier when they come to visit for the…

It’s been a few days, my friends. But, I have a good excuse… I don’t have a computer! Ok, so nothing horrible happened to mine, but my lovely wife sent me a text on…

I think that after a 4-day weekend, with summer weather pretty much every single day, I may actually be ready to go back to work today. Ok, ok. If summer vacation had actually already…

The weekend is finally here, and Lina and I have an incredible one on tap! We’re revealing a tiny bit of a secret project that we’re involved in and some pretty other freaking amazing…

bonjour! i am so excited about sharing my trip to paris with you all because it was everything i hoped it would be, and about a million times more. i’ve got a ton of…

Hey y’all! For me, there’s nothing like riding the rails.  Snuggling into my seat, hopefully beside a window, and blogging while the countryside whizzes by. (Except for blogging on a plane while flying to…

i am not ashamed at all that i have spent the better part of my weekend so far in bed and in my pjs… because i have been so productive it’s crazy. and i didn’t…

morning, y’all! it’s saturday morning for me, and i’m hanging out in the corner of my sofa. hot coffee beside me. and totally loving the fact that i’ve got a couple of hours before…

Happy weekend, friends! I’m finding myself totally torn about this weekend. On the one hand, I am so very excited about the next two days – I’m headed out of town for my second Life Coach…

well, here we go. full speed ahead. at least that’s how it feels to me. but, i mean, really, what’s life but one big risk after another? and, what kind life would it be if…

i’m gonna cheat a tiny little bit. most of my photos are from yesterday, the 10th, but i am also gonna sneak in a photo or two from saturday. so, let’s call it a…

when you think of sweden, i’ll bet you don’t really think of cruises. i didn’t, until i lived here. i did understand that swedes are sea people, forest people, nature-loving people. most people live in…

hi everyone! yesterday was friday the 10th, so that means that i took a bunch of photos to chronicle my day! i am taking part in a little photo challenge called ten on ten.…

helloooo friday! they just keep coming faster + faster it seems. i can barely get a handle on it. it blows my mind. and, it has gone quickly even though i have stayed in…

“I have to be alone very often. I’d be quite happy if I spent from Saturday night until Monday morning alone in my apartment. That’s how I refuel.”  – Audrey Hepburn “Music always sounds better…

happy tuesday! if you follow me on instagram, then by now you know that my love + i snuck off this past weekend for a little getaway in atlanta, georgia. it’s only three hours…

one day last week, my love and i were driving home, discussing whether we should or should not head over to a local brewery for some beer. just because. well, the weather was pretty…

Whoa, life has been busy lately. So crazy… and I have been no where near living any semblance of a regular life. I mean, nothing’s been really bad. A tiny bit of stress, but just so…

the theme for this year’s north carolina state fair was “a north carolina homecoming!”… totally appropriate for me, since it has actually been my “homecoming” back to north carolina this year. my first autumn,…
