Home & Decor Inspo // The New Contemporary Design Look
The best part of moving into a new place is DECORATING. Okay, maybe not for everyone, but for me, this is the best part. I’m actually a little worried that when I’m finished (I mean, are we ever “finished” though?) I’ll be bored and have nothing to do… and then I promptly remind myself that …

Books // Reading, Accountability and The Quantified Self
At the beginning of the year (2022) I decided I was going to keep track of all the books I read, physical books and audio books, in list form on a simple NOTE on my phone, month by month. I wanted to not only see how many books I actually read (vs how many I …

Dogwood Dockside Bar & Grill / Our New Lake Arrowhead Venture
It came to us almost by magic, really, like the best things often do… Months ago I received a quiet little text from a good friend about a possible vacancy and opportunity and after much hesitation (on my part) and negotiation that seemingly, spontaneously spawned into a whirlwind of cleaning and readying to open after …
