Falling For Fagradalsfjall
I'm starting from the end, but on our last day. in Iceland, we visited Fagradalsfjall aka the volcano that recently erupted in March in Iceland. I've read various accounts that say the volcano hasn't erupted in over 800 years. Some also say 10,000 year, but either way, it's a very long time.
Spring Me Baby One More Time
The past couple of months feel like they have flown by. Winter up North always feels like such a slow drag, then once the first sunny day of Spring hits. BOOM! It's already Labor Day, and you are wondering where the time went. While we still have a month of Spring left, I thought I would share the highlights so far.
My Body-ody-ody-ody
The last few years have brought a wave of body positivity into the world, encouraging millions of girls and women to embrace their shape no matter what it is.
Curing February’s Cabin Fever

I find that many of the "top lists" I browse for book suggestions often leave me disappointed, while hidden gems do not always come with …
2020 in Books
Growing up, I always had a book or five on hand. I lived next door to a library, and it became a ritual to bring a new stack of books home every week. I hid them inside textbooks to get a chapter or two in during class and eventually became besties with the two librarians …
Why Am I Like This?
Well, well, well. If it isn't the consequences of my own laziness and inaction coming to haunt me again. At the beginning of the year, I made it a goal to "write--even just a sentence--every day." Through work, texting, slack, and creating lists, I technically have accomplished that? Maybe? Okay, yes I did write thousands …
Munich on the Mind
After a busy start in Berlin, I boarded a night bus to continue my explorations in Munich. As I mentioned before, my jet lag was pretty brutal, so I thought taking an eight-hour overnight bus would guarantee more sleep. Oh, how wrong I was. It turns out my FlixBus was nothing like the Night …
