I’m a sucker for good home decor ideas. This spring, I’m finally going to add some personalized touches around the house and get some artwork up on the walls. Can’t wait to make this place feel more like me—beautiful and exciting. Want more on personalized decor? Check it out here.
Reykjavík just got named the safest city in the world. Low crime, stunning landscapes, and you can walk around at any hour without worry. Add in the Northern Lights and hot springs? Yeah, this one’s going on my bucket list. Iceland, I’m coming for you one day.
I’ve always wanted to start a bullet journal. It was created by a designer who needed a better way to stay organized and focused. The idea of having one simple place for goals, habits, and daily tasks really appeals to me. Might finally give it a shot this year. Link, Link, and Link
My dad just got Starlink, and we might hook it up today. I’m excited to see how well it works in our corner of Appalachia. Internet outages here can last for days, especially in the harsh weather, so I’m hoping Starlink will keep us online when our regular service goes down.
Wow, I looked at the window just now, and guess what? It is SNOWING! Big flakes!!! ❄️❄️❄️
My M1 Mac Mini (8GB RAM, 256GB) is noticeably lagging after 5 years—just juggling multiple browsers, apps like Canva, emails (Outlook/Shortwave), & Microsoft 365. Is it time for an upgrade, perhaps to a Mac Air 15"?, or will I face the same slowdown in the time frame? Decisions, decisions.
Good news! Laundry operations are back online—my dad came to the rescue and unfroze the pipes. Crisis averted. Yay!
While tackling laundry, I was caught off guard by a sudden surge of water—the bathroom had flooded! It hit me that the pipes might be frozen from the heavy snow. My wet towels are on hold, and I’m left with a mess. Any tips on handling this laundry crisis? (yes, the pic is intended for sarcasm)
What a snowy wonderland—it’s 11 degrees! ❄️ I know I am weird because I’m drinking a cold mocha almond latte.🧋It’s a mood! Oh, I dread doing laundry🧺today, but only one or two small loads. I wonder what I will be doing today? Read a book, binge TV, or write more content? Decisions, decisions!
Thrift store haul from Pikeville, KY! Yesterday’s adventures led my parents and me through two local thrift shops, and I struck an absolute jackpot in the book section. Found these four gems that I can’t wait to dive into 📚✨ They are very cheap, costing a dollar per book! What a great find, right?
- The Lincoln Lawyer by Michael Connelly 📚
- State of Fear by Michael Crichton 📚
- I Am Pilgrim by Terry Hayes 📚
- Snow Crash: A Novel by Neal Stephenson 📚
Speaking of going analog—there’s something magical about holding a real book, feeling the pages, breathing in that paper scent. E-books are convenient, sure, but they’ll never quite capture that tactile joy. Anyone else with me on this? 📖 Stay tuned for a deeper dive into my analog adventures coming soon!
