Tuesday Topics | A Day in the Life

Tuesday Topics | A Day in the Life

I haven’t done a “A Day in the Life” post in a long, long time and when the topic came up for the Tuesday Topics linkup with Kookyrunner and Zenaida, I thought it was a great opportunity to share a glimpse into a typical day of my WFH life (loosely based on last week). 5:40…

A different kind of anniversary

My citizenship interview and naturalization ceremony were on April 3, 2012, which means yesterday was my 10th anniversary of…

2021 | end-of-year survey

I saw this end-of-year survey on Stephany‘s blog, and then my friend Lisa posted her own version, and I enjoyed it so much and found this recap so intriguing that I am jumping on the bandwagon. 1) What did you do in 2021 that you’ve never done before? Ran my fastest half marathon, completed a 365…
