The 4th of Juuuly

America, I love ya!

I am beyond thankful to be live in this great land. I love 4th of July just the same. It's nice to have a day to celebrate a solid quality like independence. Americans by nature and from early existence are driven, independent, strong crusaders. The whole concept behind our foundation is one of setting out to start new and chase a wild idea that others are willing to fight you so much for, they will start a war. There are days we can feel like we fight a war or we can acknowledge our wildest ambitions. Me? I'm trying to stay focused on: success as a loving other half to Hunter; success as a young professional, some days sure I feel like I'm walking backwards in high heels but I know I am dancing on the right track at this time. Sharp turns and curves welcome!; success to be a good person with a heart of gold, a mind of compassion, and a drive that carries me from one goal to the next.

And I'm thankful for the ability to live in a world where it's all possible.

Forever and ever Americana, Amen.


I'm thinking this:
sweet fun snack to whip up

Linner meal idea for the 4th
In between hot dogs of course

And I hope to be wearing something comparable to this, this, or this.



Happy Independence Day loves!

Self care reset

We all hear the buzzwords self care more than ever these days. Every where you turn, a lifestyle blogger, health guru, or magazine article shares insight on ways to treat yo self to some basic T. While I love modern discussions as much as the next girl, I’m aware sometimes it just doesn’t fit and you have to reset what isn’t working. For example, some weeks I am just done by the tine Friday hits. Hell, a rough Wednesday or Thursday has crept in there, too, requiring a pause and reflection for how best to naturally beat a funk or a “feeling of less than stellar”. Here my top self care reset ideas for your consideration: Drink water: Warm it with some lemon, try some green tea for an antioxidant boost, or just plain old room temperature is a sure way to get the boost to feeling a bit better. Face it: Fewer things feel as good as a really great face mask. I love charcoal in particular lately and always feel refreshed and restored and ready to ‘face’ another day. See w...

Simple blessings

I’m lying in bed, next to a snoring husband and my baby girl dogter sprawled out cozy as can be, while the rain falls down upon our roof. Gone are the days of spending a Saturday night downtown at a club, throwing beers back in a honky think, or galavanting around to anywhere with the lights on. And I’m not mad about it. Not even a little bit. There is tilt no place I’d rather be than with hunter, Roni and our comfy sweet little home happily netflixing and writing this here post. It’s a good feeling indeed. I count my blessings extra on nights like this and say a few additional prayers for love and comfort to continue on. I truly don’t ask for more than health, happiness, and love. Anything else is gravy. To simple blessings for all.

Blogtober Dayyyy 27! A Letter To Your Younger Self

First of all, this is my 203rd post! I slid right on by the day I hit 200, probably in a haze from writing so many days consistently like this. So I am now thrilled to announce I am moving right along and haven't tapped out. For that I have Blogtober 2014 to give credit to. I am so so so determined to meet my goal of writing all 31 days. Thank you again for linking this up Helene and Taylor !! Now, on to today's topic: A Letter To Your Younger Self Dear 22-27 year old Meggie, Hey, it's me, 29 year old you. Just wanted to check in and cover a couple things that I've learned to be true, so if you want to go ahead and use this insight sooner, have at it. So a few things still stand that I've mentioned to 17 year old you and as I recounted the ten things I've learned since high school . Please keep drinking water over anything else and avoid the hair bleach. But you know, being 29 and thinking back, the ages 22-27 were a huge chapter of your life a...
