Happy Thursday, friends! I’m going to go back to taking a cue from my friend Ali and starting my Thursday with a healthy dose of thankfulness.
Thursdays just feel better that way.
Because work has me oh-so-happy that I can hardly stand it this week, this is Thankful Things Thursday: I Freaking [...]
This is a very special weekend for me. As we speak, ladies from different parts of the country are headed to Chicago for Girls with Guts weekend. I haven’t met some of them before, but we all have one thing in common: IBD. The ladies in attendance this weekend are all activists in one way [...]
As I continue to participate in the Health Activist Writer’s Monthly Challenge, I’m reminded that this little tradition, which I took from Ali at Ali on the Run, is a good for me when I’m in a health rut. When I’m in a flare, it can be really easy to enter [...]
Whew. Finally back on track with a more normal blogging schedule. I’ve missed you guys and my little blogging routine! And now, for my little Thursday tradition that I got from Ali at Ali on the Run. Love Ali. Love her blog. Love this tradition.
Here we go.
I’m thankful for my [...]
It’s Thursday alright, and I’m feeling kind of cranky. I’m still waiting on all the answers I was hoping to get, and I am not very patient sometimes. So once again, I’m going to take advantage of Ali‘s Thankful Things Thursday tradition in the hopes that it brightens up my [...]
File this one under “Oh my goodness do I need a Thankful Things Thursday today.” Yesterday, I saw a new GI doctor. I had some questions that I needed to get answered and wasn’t crazy about the ones I was getting. It was time for a second opinion. (More on that later.) New GI Doctor [...]
Have I mentioned that my birthday is coming up? Because it is. I turn 27 this Saturday, and I’m wavering between ridiculous excitement for my birthday and utter disbelief that I’m turning 27 years old. (I know. I know. It’s not that old. But it’s late twenties, for crying out loud.)
I plan on celebrating like [...]
It’s Thursday! Day four of my new job, and I am completely exhausted. There’s always that adjustment period, isn’t there? Where you come home from work and just collapse? Right now I’m doing this: come home, eat dinner, pack lunch for the next day, wash face, brush teeth, pick out clothes for the next day…

Woohoo! It’s Thursday. And after yesterday’s kind of cranky post, I think it’s time to perk things up around here. Perfect timing for a day of thankfulness, don’t you think?
Glad you agree. Let’s get to it.
I’m thankful for the incredible job I had for the last year and a half. For each [...]
It’s hard to believe that one week from today is my last day at my nanny job. When I accepted my new position, four weeks of notice seemed like a long, long time. I was itching to get in the office and get started.
I still am — I just can’t believe how [...]
