Coop Dreaming

If you follow me on any form of social media, you know I'm obsessed with my pet chickens (or @MorganChicks as they're better known). The obsession runs deep and has turned more into stress. Do they have enough room in their coop? Are they happy chickens?? The stress results in me moving the…

One Year of Marriage

Eric and I's first anniversary has come and gone, and I still can't believe it! This year flew by for us (in the best of ways! time flies when you're having fun right?). In addition to our first wedding anniversary, this month marks 10 years of being together. So weird to think we've been wi…

Free Trees!

If you know me, you know I'm obsessed with a good plant and a good deal. So when a friend told me there was an event this past weekend that was giving away two free trees to anyone that came, I said: I'm there! Nothing free comes easy though. The event started at 9am, and when my mom and I …

Skillpop: Digital Illustration

I am so excited to announce that I'll be teaching a Skillpop class in a few weeks! As many of you know, I've been delving into digital illustration more and more over the last couple years. What started as something I was doing solely for client logos or websites that had no photo content q…

Morgan Chicks 2.0

I may have just become a crazy chicken lady, and I'm ok with it.  A few weeks ago, we added 4 fuzzy new chicks to our flock! You may remember the first three chicks I got almost a year ago. Well it turns out, Joan ended up being a Roger and Betty a Don. City ordinances don't allow us t…

Tools I'm Using to Simplify My Home in 2016

If you've seen my resolutions this year, you know my goal is to simplify everything. A big part of that is geared toward my home. Last year felt like it was always a mess. Miley ate everything in sight because we leave things on the floor. We were wasting too much food, and we've had wayy to…

27

On Sunday I turned 27! Not sure if it's because I'm still in my twenties, but for now, I love getting older. Each birthday is such an affirmation of the friendships I have and all the good things that happened the year before.  Rather than throw a party this year, Eric and I decided to…

Hello 2016!

Happy New Year! Hope you all got to enjoy plenty of champagne, collards, and Christmas decor purging over the last couple days. I love the new year as it's a time for me to reset and think about what I want to accomplish next. If you've read my previous new year's posts, you'll know I alway…

What I learned from failing all of my 2015 resolutions

2015 proved to be one heck of a year. I bought a house, got married, started a tiny urban farm, made new friends, traveled internationally and across the US, and started my own meetup. Despite accomplishing all this - I failed every single one of the goals I set myself. How did I let this ha…

Hello. How are you?

Whew, it's been awhile since I posted an update over here! I am embarrassed my last posts were of my wedding and honeymoon, but truthfully life has just not slowed down at all since then. This is going to sound like one of those weird end-of-the-year family update letters, but with 2015 comi…
