Summer Day in Manteo, Nags Head, and Kitty Hawk

June has always been one of my favorite months of the year. It usually involves the most traveling, boat rides, beach trips, marks the start of summer, and I go into a summertime state of mind. I feel the most alive this time of year, while the anxious thoughts of work and life fade away. So, you could probably imagine I was beyond excited to partner with The Outer Banks this month and become an #OBXpert!

Be More Like Nick

I have not posted in about a week and I, honestly, have had way too many thoughts and emotions in the past week to even consider writing about the things I normally post about on here.  My family lost a very special 26 year old cousin of mine, a husband, a son, a brother and friend to many on March 9th and I have never experienced something so devastating in my life before.  I couldn't go on with my normal posts without getting some of my thoughts out onto paper (or computer) about what has been overtaking my entire mind and heart the past week.

Move Loot + Giveaway

A few months ago, I moved to a new apartment.  I absolutely love it and I couldn't have chosen a better place.  However, as one might guess, the move was not very fun.  My car died that week, making it very difficult to move all my things, plus I had far too much stuff that just accumulated over the past few years.  I had to find ways to get rid of a bunch of my furniture and luckily, I found the perfect solution.  

101 Things in 1001 Days

While reading some of my own favorite blogs the other day, I stumbled upon Mackenzie Horan's list of 101 things to do in 1001 days.  It inspired me so much and I wanted to create my own to maybe help hold me accountable for all I want to accomplish and to motivate me to dream big.  There are just so many goals from small to large that can be done over 1001 days and sometimes if you don't take note of them, the time just flies by.  I'll continue to update this list as time goes on and hopefully by the end, I will have a lot crossed off!
