I’ve been reading some of my past journals in an attempt to discover who I was during various snapshots of my life. The moments captured in photographs + my journals give a pretty good snapshot of who I was with, what I was feeling, and what my relationships looked like. It’s always quite the activity … More journals
I’ll just say it (and my mom would certainly agree!) I start things and have a really hard time finishing them before moving on to the next. I’ll be going nuts about my disorganization one day, spend the whole night cleaning and then leave it about 80% clean for weeks before I half heartedly finish … More it’s always 80% clean.
Well friends, this post is a bit delayed but better late than never I suppose. As most of you know, I ran the Boston Marathon oh let’s see – April 18 and I am finally taking the time and energy to write about it! I know the urge and readiness comes primarily because I’m in … More Oh Boston – you stir up so much.
last week was insane. between all the different things i did i feel like the only that remained true was that my name was emily. so busy but so good. the weekend boasted of my brother and sister in law, parents, and chris hanging out in glen arbor at a cottage my parents had rented. … More a week in review…

yesterday i was feeling just a little unlike myself. it seemed as though most friends were working or travelling for the weekend but i was still here. i wanted to go to the beach to read and relax and so i went by myself. people say “you were there by yourself?” when i tell them … More because they’re family.
it seems i’m always jotting down to-do lists, all sorts of things i do not want to forget. i’m guessing you do the same. i mean, we’re so obsessed with to-do lists that there are programs devoted to it (Remember the Milk, Evernote etc.). i’ve been thinking lately of how i get so caught up … More my to-stop list
it’s been an insanely rainy day today – cool and the type of day that makes you want to put on a sweater and – go nowhere. so what did i do? i visited my favorite thrift store and found the perfect rainy day item – a mixer. now, this isn’t any mixer. this is … More my {new} mixer
i know my dad as a continual fix it man. he’s always looking for the next project or way to make something better. when i was younger, the moment i would mention something that wasn’t just quite right, he was on it. whether my bike chain was off the track, i needed a random picture … More updates.
