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

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
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

☔ Embracing the Magic of an All-Day Rainy Day
There’s something undeniably magical about an all-day rainy day. Not just a passing shower or a brief storm—but one of those rare, gentle rains that starts in the morning and lingers until dusk. The sky stays a soft shade of gray, the sound of raindrops taps gently against the windows, and the world outside slowsRead More

Creative Momentum: A Long Weekend of Art, Relaxation, and Preparation
Coming off a three-day weekend, I feel incredibly satisfied knowing I made the most of it! Saturday was a mix of productivity, working on art projects and tackling a few household tasks. Sunday started with meal prepping, but the rest of the day was all about relaxation, enjoying TV time with my husband. Monday, IRead More
