September 2022 Recap
It’s officially fall! My favorite season of the year. Bring on all the pumpkin-flavored treats, chunky sweaters, and cozy blankets alongside the (TV) fireplace. And the spooky novels!

May 2022 Recap
In May, I took some time to celebrate my birthday with a fun trip to the mountains, as well as a trip to the beach later in the month. I also met some new friends, went on a new hiking trail, and visited a new bookstore (so much “new!”). I didn’t write nearly as much…
