I remember a time when I dreaded reading lists & here I am planning one (for myself) for the whole year. Getting old is weird. There’s always room to add any new releases & recommendations but here’s my line up!

Our group had the dreamiest time in Nantucket. This bucket-list trip was everything that I hoped it would be - full of hydrangeas, butterflies, cobblestone roads, charming cottages, gorgeous landscaping, & American flags. Here is our full travel itinerary to Nantucket, MA.

One of the many things that I love about Raleigh is the amazing food scene. I have definitely eaten my way around the city for the past 7 years of living here, but my list to check off is always growing. Below are my recommendations for dining in the City of Oaks.

I love a good page-turner & am always looking for recommendations of new books to read! I’m keeping track of all of my favorites & reviewing those that I consider 4+ stars.

Raleigh has a latte coffee bars, brew houses, cafes & bakeries that I love to venture off to for a coffee date or to use as my office for the day.

These are my favs in the City of Oaks, broken down by neighborhood.

March is International Women’s Month, so I thought that the best way to celebrate is to highlight all of the incredible girl bosses that are close to me and to the people that I love.
