Before Friday’s post went live, I asked members of the WO2 Community to ask any questions they had about how blogs make money. One asked how my life changed being a full-time career blogger versus keeping it a part-time job. The biggest change has been the pitching, the negotiating, the courting of brands… Continue Reading My Summer “Vacation”
I don’t watch a ton of TV… except in the summer. I don’t know why it’s different, I mean same job, same schedule, but I do. It reminds me of childhood, being slightly sunburned, freshly showered, curled up in an afghan my mon crocheted, down in the rec room which was always the coolest room… Continue Reading Weekend Reads #60
This is a much-belated post, but do not think the delay has anything to do with the awesomeness that is Richmond, Virginia. I had the pleasure of spending a weekend in this city earlier this year and had such a great time I look forward to returning. I shared previously my Rebelle Conference review, which… Continue Reading A Weekend in Richmond, Virginia
I don’t regret quitting my job to focus on the blog. Quitting my job and focusing on what I have built and loved for over a decade has been hard and thrilling and scary and rewarding.

We found a suit at Old Navy online that she liked; a top with a higher neck and a ruffle that covered the bust and matching bottom. The… Continue Reading Weekend Reads #58
It was a tough week, and I realize one reason it was so tough was because I now don’t have normal periods but perimenopause periods. Women over 40, you know what I mean. It’s something no one talks about but it suuuuucks. It’s like I’m 13 again. My period comes late, it comes early, it… Continue Reading Weekend Reads #57
One of Karl and my favorite things to do as a couple is a quick weekend getaway. There’s something about new surroundings that helps you unwind but also recharge. We love staying local – you get all the enjoyment from a getaway without the long drive or flight home. At the beginning of the month,… Continue Reading DC Weekend Getaway to The River Inn
Yesterday I shared a post-workout selfie on Instagram Stories. I was wearing new Athleta leggings that I looove and with it, a cropped top also from Athleta (sold out). One that doesn’t cover my belly, one that rides up on occasion. And I love it too. I felt fierce. I was so sick all week… Continue Reading Weekend Reads #56
