I’ve been doing the Goodreads challenge the last few years as a way to get myself to read more. There was a period of time during and after college where I just didn’t read as much as I used to. I would always think back on when I was 10 or 11 and could knock out a 500 to 1000 page fantasy novel like it was nothing.…
Spring is a time of annoyance for me when it comes to dressing for the day. I’m ready for warm weather and sandals yet the mornings start out in the low 30s and climb to warmer temps in the day.…
I’m not a full-time blogger & work in tech for my full-time gig.

Every time I go to visit my parents in Mesa, AZ, I always want to spend a day in Scottsdale.…
The amount of plastic that is thrown away each year is astounding. According to National Geographic, 91% of plastic isn’t even recycled. It’s an environmental crisis that is infiltrating our water and food supplies and one that has been weighing heavily on me over the past year.…
My parents moved to Arizona a few years ago and I will say it is quite nice to come and visit mid-winter and escape the dreary grey sky and utter soaking wet of Seattle. Even if the Arizona evenings are chilly, you can still wrap up in a blanket and sit by one of those snazzy chic patio heaters and enjoy the evening.…
