When Free Time Feels Like Another Task

Posted on August 10, 2025
When Free Time Feels Like Another Task
There was a time when I could easily set aside hours to relax, recharge, and dive into my creative projects. But this year, life has been unusually demanding, both at work and at home, and I’ve had to actively carve out moments for myself. July and August, in particular, have been relentless. The calendar filledRead More

A Bloom from the Stars: Recreating the Halcyon’s Alien Flower

A Bloom from the Stars: Recreating the Halcyon’s Alien Flower
Ever since our final voyage aboard the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser in September 2023, the experience has stayed with me in a powerful way. I’m constantly looking for ways to revisit those memories, whether by recreating props, displaying mementos, or crafting small pieces of that galaxy far, far away. For my latest project, I decidedRead More

My Back’s New Best Friend: A Standing Desk and a Plan

My Back’s New Best Friend: A Standing Desk and a Plan
For years, I’ve had the occasional back issue, the kind where I’d pull a muscle every few years, grit my teeth through the pain, and wait a few days for things to return to normal. But lately, something has been different. In the past several months, my lower back has been giving me trouble farRead More

From Captain Jack to Dr. Jones: Our Ride’s Next Chapter
Well… we’ve done it again, proudly flying our geek flag high for the world to see. Five years ago, when we bought our Toyota Highlander, we went all out with a Pirates of the Caribbean–themed vehicle wrap. It turned heads, sparked conversations, and made every grocery store run fun. Now, half a decade later, itRead More

🏔️Hope in the Hills: Rediscovering Asheville and the Blue Ridge Mountains Post-Storm
Over the 4th of July weekend, we returned to one of our favorite places on earth, the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. It had been months since our last visit in December, and ever since purchasing land in Waynesville, we’ve felt an ever-deepening connection to the region. Each trip feels like a homecoming, andRead More

🧝The Fellowship of the Brick: A LEGO LOTR Experience

Posted on July 22, 2025July 22, 2025
🧝The Fellowship of the Brick: A LEGO LOTR Experience
Ever since I built the LEGO Rivendell set, I’m not sure if I’ve opened a can of worms with Lego sets, or just fully embraced my love for only The Lord of the Rings LEGO sets. Technically, Rivendell wasn’t my first big build. I completed the LEGO Voltron set back in 2018. But something feltRead More

Elevenses, Luncheon, and a Healthier Us: How Eating Like a Hobbit Changed Our Lives
For the last month and a half, my husband and I have been trying something radically different when it comes to how we eat—and for the first time, it actually feels sustainable. We’ve tried it all before: Atkins, juicing, cutting carbs, skipping meals—you name it. And every time, the result was the same: we’d stickRead More

🕒 The Art of Prioritizing: Letting Go When Time Gets Tight
Life doesn’t always slow down when we need it to. Some weeks (or months!) come at us like a whirlwind—appointments, work, errands, obligations, and a to-do list that somehow keeps growing even after we cross things off. When you have a packed schedule, learning how to prioritize becomes less of a luxury and more ofRead More

🧠📖 Why I Love Spoilers — And How They Help Me Cope with Anxiety
Confession time: I love spoilers. There, I said it. Whether it’s books, movies, or TV shows, I often find myself Googling the ending or reading plot summaries before I even dive in. To some people, this is unthinkable—like I’ve ruined the entire point of storytelling. But for me, spoilers aren’t a buzzkill. They’re a formRead More

From Elven Dreams to Reality: My Journey Building the LEGO Rivendell Set
Back in January, I decided to finally start the LEGO Icons: The Lord of the Rings – Rivendell set—a stunning 6,167-piece love letter to Tolkien’s world. I had been eyeing it since its release, but once the holidays wound down and the cozy stillness of winter settled in, it felt like the perfect time toRead More
