I have a confession to make. Remember my post awhile back where I quit coffee? Well here I am drinking it again. In fact, if it wasn't for the coffee-boost, I don't think this post would have been written at all. So I'm a hypocrite. I flip flop on my viewpoints. I was a wee bit scared to write this…

The Cycle of Discontent and Creation

This past weekend I did something on my bucket list: I slept in a treehouse. Yep, it was a goal of mine for a while and I finally did it. It was amazing and everything I thought it could be. Ever since I had seen photos of amazing looking treehouses and bizarre luxury hotels on Pinterest years ago, I had…
