Did you know that in pregnancy around 28 weeks they test you for gestational diabetes? You drink some vile sugar concoction then you wait an hour and some nurses take your blood, it’s gross but if you throw up they just make you drink the poison water again so you might as well just keep it down. If you fail…
27 Weeks and Counting
7 weeks ago, we had our 20-week ultrasound, it’s supposed to be an exciting time the 20-week ultrasound it’s the longest appointment, it’s the big anatomy scan and at first it went great – but then the doctor called. My doctor called the day of our ultrasound, so I knew that something was wrong, I knew it in my bones,…
Cravings
No, not the cookbook by Chrissy Teigen, but I do not-so-secretly want to become her best friend and cook with her in her immaculate kitchen. I’m talking pregnancy cravings… the very real reason that I tried to convince my boyfriend to get me pulled pork and mashed potatoes at 11:30 on a Tuesday night (spoiler alert, I was unconvincing). Pregnancy…
Naming my dog was Easier
There is nothing on this planet that will make you realize exactly how many people you’ve held grudges against like trying to pick a name for your kid. Mackenzie? Nah, she was a little snot. Thomas? I dated a Tomas once, that’s a hard no. Also, Matt and James for the same reasons. One of my best friends dated an…
Coming Spring 2021
Pregnancy is hard. It’s not all, “Oh! You’re glowing.” and “Such a cute bump!” I’m 13-weeks pregnant and the bump just makes me look chubby, the glow is probably some Bio-Oil I accidentally rubbed on my face, and I haven’t had this much acne since I was 13. The acne really is the worst, I remember when I was a…
Make the First Move…
I love Bumble. Not for finding a date because I swiped right on love two years ago and I hit the jackpot. I love Bumble because they believe in the power of women. In a world where dating, networking, and even finding friends online means wading through a sea of harassment, pictures of eggplants (that no one asked for), and…
New Year, not Quite the Same me
It’s been WAY too long since I’ve written here, I’m sorry for that, but 30 has been a really tough year. In 28 days, I’ll be 31-years-old, and I’m making a promise to myself that 31 will be better than 30. Don’t get me wrong I’ve had some incredible moments in the past year, I went to Jamaica with the…

Aging out of Friendships
I’ll be 30 this fall, that feels like a big deal, at least it does to me – it’s no secret to anyone who knows me that I LOVE birthdays, I can get a little extra when it comes to celebrating and gifting. As I approach the end of my twenties, I find myself thinking about what the past decade…
Virgin Hotels San Fransisco
If you follow me here (or anywhere), you’ll know that there are very few things in this life that I love more than travelling around this beautiful world (my dog, snarky pop culture commentary, and my boyfriend). As part of my travels, I’ve been fortunate enough to stay at some pretty amazing hotels around the world. But very few have…
