I saw a quote recently that said something along the lines of “You can have all the money, fame, and things in the world that you’ve ever wanted, but if there is no joy, you have nothing”. I’ve been thinking about that quote a lot today. This morning I made blueberry muffins for Steve (hisContinue reading “Chasing Joy”

Finding My Center
Hello dear readers, How are you today? I’m great. Quite frankly, I’m impressed that I’m writing a blog again this week. Dare I say that I’m getting back in the habit of doing so? Anyway, I hope you’ve had a wonderful week since you were last here. Since my “Dream On” post, I’ve started upContinue reading “Finding My Center”
A Little Bit of Peace
In a little over a week we will be moving into our new home. Our apartment is beautiful and light and bright and sunny and I cannot wait to make it our own. These past few weeks I’ve been holding on to the fact that I’ll be nesting into a new space soon. Making thisContinue reading “A Little Bit of Peace”
Things to Celebrate
Hello dear readers! In the last week, we’ve started a new year (hello, 2025), Steve started his new job, and WE GOT AN APARTMENT. That’s right. After attending a viewing yesterday which was also Steve’s first day of work (and my Grandma’s birthday which felt like a good sign), we decided to submit an applicationContinue reading “Things to Celebrate”
Twee Amerikanen in Nederland
Four weeks after setting sail on the QM2, we are sitting in our two-month AirBnB under a heated blanket, listening to fireworks go off outside, and celebrating the fact that it is the last day of 2024. What a year. From snowboarding, to biking around Maui, to eating pan au chocolat every day in Paris,Continue reading “Twee Amerikanen in Nederland”
Our Last European Adventure (Before We Live Here)
This week, we’ve been spending our time exploring Utrecht, Netherlands. Seeing the Dom Tower, for the first time since March, without the scaffolding that was there before. Walking along the canal park, this time with the changing colors of leaves rather than the blooming of flowers. Eating at our favorite restaurants, and new ones, andContinue reading “Our Last European Adventure (Before We Live Here)”
We’re Moving!
Hello, dear readers! Last thing I told you, we were selling Batland. Well, I’m here to give a bit more information on all that’s going on in our lives at the moment. Clearly, this is a big step for the both of us, and Buoy of course. We’re selling our sweet floating home, moving toContinue reading “We’re Moving!”
Another Year Older
It’s my 26th birthday, and I’ve decided to start writing again. Will it be hard to get back into the hang of things? Yes. Am I going to do it anyway? Absolutely. Year 25 was probably one of the best and hardest years of my life. So much happened, and so much of it wasContinue reading “Another Year Older”
Let the Light In
Happy Tuesday, readers! I have some fun news! We are BACK in Norfolk. Well, at least the boat is. On a whim last Thursday evening, after having my parents over for dinner at the cabin, Steve checked the weather for Saturday. It was perfect for sailing. The wind was good, it was coming from theContinue reading “Let the Light In”
Nothing’s Certain But Change
It’s funny, I’ve always been considered a “free spirit” by people who know me, but recently it’s taken a whole new turn. Not only am I like that, but my partner is too, and the way we live our life is considered “free spirited”. Well, they’re not wrong, it is. We never really know whereContinue reading “Nothing’s Certain But Change”
