Guys, there are only six weeks left in 2016. SIX WEEKS. Not sure what happened to the second half of this year, but it has flown by - perhaps because I spent most of it traveling? I realized I've got such a backlog of travel photos that I haven't even looked through again this year - so I'm …
If you remember, my resolution for 2016 was to simplify. While a big part of that is to simplify my work process/mind, I also really want to simplify my home in an effort to free up more space and time for better things. In January, I picked up the book Zero Waste Home after hearing the aut…
A year ago I started up a group called Dine & Draw CLT. I'd been trying (and failing) to get back into drawing since 2013. I'd recently moved back to Charlotte and was missing the amazing network of people I’d built up while living in the Triangle. I’d also noticed Charlotte …
It's finally here you guys – my last Iceland post! I know Eric is the most excited about this because I told him he couldn't post any photos to Facebook until I'd written all my blog posts. Then I promptly took a month and a half to publish them all. Heh! We spent less than 24 hours i…

After spending three days staying in central Iceland and exploring the south coast, we headed west for our next B&B in Stikkysholmur. Along the way, we saw some amazing things that were worth a post all on their own. From the tectonic plates, to crystal clear waters on the fjord, to one …
I've been pretty terrified of riding a bike since the 4th grade. During an intense race up my street, I took a spill and knocked out some permanent teeth. After a lifetime of dentist visits to correct it, I decided the bike life just wasn't for me. But as I've gotten older, I've reali…
Onto part two of our anniversary trip! This time, along the southern coast of Iceland.These were some of my favorite sites of our entire trip. Giant waterfalls, black beaches, sunsets over cliffs, and a natural pool. Sounds so dreamy, right? Unfortunately, we didn't make it to the abandoned…
Ahh, Iceland. I was considering calling this series: Ponies, Waterfalls, Hot Tubs, and Rainbows, which I think perfectly describes the essence of our trip. Iceland is a beautiful, beautiful country that I would highly recommend to anyone wanting an adventurous vacation. The landscape is like…
