And just like that, it was fall 🙂 . I always thought of myself as a summer girl, but given that I can soak up all of the lessening hours of sunlight instead of dreamily looking at them outside my office window, I’m coming around to this season. It’s definitely more pleasant to run in, I’m enjoying the warmth of tea in my belly and a fluffy blanket on my lap when I (inevitably) read a book in one sitting. Consider me a changed woman 🙂 . So, let’s see what I got up to during this first month of fall!

I’ve also written about all of these topics on this very blog, but that’s over 7+ years of posts so they’re spaced out across almost decade. My bad 🙂 . Well, this is an effort to put all that knowledge in one place. Continue reading “Show Me The Money: All My Financial Info & Answering Y’all’s Questions”
The Month of Seattle: June 2022 Recap
2022 is half over…which is strange since my brain still seems stuck in 2020. Oh well. This month we headed back to the States for the first time in several months only for the supreme court to overturn Roe v Wade and take us back 50 years…Welcome back to America I guess.
