Thriving in a Family Business
It’s officially been one year since I began working for my in-laws’ Property Management business. Before starting this venture, I was warned by many friends and family about the dangerous territory I was about to enter. My situation was a bit more intense in the fact that it also required my husband and I to […]
A Season of Stress
The entire premise of my blog is to appreciate the little things in life. Which is something I had been striving to do most days.

A Trip to Charleston
Our travel itinerary for Charleston was quite full and very fun! I was given the somewhat daunting task to plan out the entire trip, and I think I nailed it. I made sure to create an itinerary that would appeal to everyone on the trip. That could be an entire blog post on its own, […]

Hey Little Fishy
This post is somewhat of a stretch, but hear me out! If you don’t already know, I am obsessed with my Betta fish Gill. Okay- maybe obsessed is rather extreme, but truly I do like the little guy. Maybe you’ve had a fish growing up, or your children have fish, or maybe the concept of […]
Show Off your Snacks!
Does this concept sound weird to you- or no? I love having my snacks out and on hand (healthy snacks that is). This is especially useful in our household because seyver is a HUGE snacking kinda guy! But I’ve also received comments from our guests on what a great idea this is. I think it’s […]
