Art in the Time of Covid
There isn’t one person I know who’s life wasn’t completely upended by the Covid-19 pandemic. Whether it was the loss of a loved one, the loss of a job, the loss of a trip, or all of the above, people experienced a lot of loss in 2020. Many people had extra time on their hands […]

Hike 2/52: Henry Cowell State Park
January is a month that has always struck me as one that is so full of hope, despite the circumstances. January is so cold and dark, and yet it is when we create a fresh start for ourselves every year. We carve out time to work on our ambitions and dreams. My intention for 2021 […]

New Year’s Adventures | January 2021
Happy New Year! It’s finally 2021, and after what seems like the longest year ever, I am hopeful for what is to come in this new year: vaccines, friends, and adventures.

Life’s a Beach
Bonjour, everyone! August is here (already?) and the summer sunshine came out to play. I, personally, have soaked up my last few days before going back to the classroom tomorrow. This means I have been walking outside, lounging in the hammock, reading books, sleeping in, listening to music, staying up way too late watching movies, […]

Forest + Funghi
The forest is a place of pure magic for me. It is where’s I find my calm, my inspiration, and it is home to so many amazing plants and animals. It is where I find that my soul is happiest. As John Muir, author and naturalist, once said, “Come to the woods, for here is […]

2020 Intentions
Hello beauties! 2019 is coming to a close, which means its time to say goodbye to this year, 2019. 2019 was beautiful, messy, adventure-filled, busy, and fantastic, and I will cherish it always. 2019 will forever be the year I got to marry my best friend, the love of my life, in Yosemite National Park.

Pumpkin Farm {2019}
Hello all! How is it almost Halloween already?! This year really seems to have flown by, but this is just the beginning of my favorite time of year: there are pumpkins and costumes and candy to come so, so soon – then comes my birthday and Thanksgiving, and I do love to cook – followed […]
