Life Lately

January 30, 2020

Holy Moly – it has been a hot minute since I’ve written a blog post (December 9th to be exact!). In case you’re wondering where I’ve been – I am still (barely) alive! December went by in a blur, and 2020 is following suit so far. I can’t believe it’s already the end of January! I hope 2020 has been off to a good start for all of you because it’s been a real doozy over here! Ever since I started this blog, I have worked on creating content “on the side,” which usually means at night and on the weekends. It has definitely been a balancing act, and I have been burning the candle at both ends for quite a while. Sadly, as of late, my day job in Corporate America has been monopolizing all of my time. I work in the financial services industry, and while my job has always been very demanding and stressful, it is on another level right now. We are currently in the middle of a huge merger, so I not only have my “normal” job, but now all the additional responsibilities that come along with trying to bring two very large companies together while also keeping the business running as usual. It’s just A LOT (and shout out to my amazing co-workers that are right in the same boat with me!). By the time I am done with work for the day, I am mentally exhausted and therefore lacking creativity and energy to focus on my blog and Instagram. I know you don’t want to hear from a “Debbie Downer” every day, so I try to avoid sharing about all of this boring stuff; However, this is real life for me right now, so I just wanted you to know why I’ve been slacking on the blog front. I am sure you understand, and you can probably also relate!

Anyway, just bear with me during this crazy period…I hope to get back to sharing more of the things that y’all are used to seeing soon! I also plan to post a recap of my trip to Europe within the next week or so. I started working on it during the holiday break, but encountered some technical difficulties with my blog that I had to get figured out. For now, I thought I would share some snapshots of me and my family during the holidays! Sharing “life” photos like this is a first for the blog, so I hope you enjoy them!
