Beach or Mountains

Beach or mountains? Which do you prefer? Why?

My first instinct is always beach. I love how I feel when I’m near the ocean, just listening to the waves and planting my feet in the sand. The mountains are also insanely beautiful and I would love a weekend away in a cabin in the mountains, but the warm beach is always calling my name.

My husband and I recently got married on the beach in Florida, and we actually got our photos back this week- so this is the perfect post to share a couple on! I’ve never shared pictures of myself or us on this blog before- and I’ve been blogging for over five years- but I am so happy with how gorgeous our wedding day was and these pictures really encapsulate the love.

Meals

What are your family’s top 3 favorite meals?

This is something I am working on. It’s just my husband and I, and both of us prefer not to cook. I grew up eating a lot of boxed mac&cheese and frozen pizza, while he grew up with a dad who grilled pretty much every day. We both are kind of picky- him more than me- and that makes it somewhat difficult when it comes to planning dinners. I’d say three meals we will both enjoy at home are:

  • breakfast for dinner (eggs, bacon, toast or a bagel)
  • tacos (usually ground beef, but sometimes I do shredded chicken tacos)
  • spaghetti with cheesy garlic bread

Trust My Instincts

Do you trust your instincts?

The older I get, the more and more I am learning to trust my instincts. I still have a lot of work and unlearning to do from my childhood, as I basically never learned how to trust myself. When you’re constantly scrutinized by one parent and also continuously hovered over by the other one, it makes it a little hard to gain any self confidence. As I continue to grow, I continue to give myself evidence that I truly can trust myself.
