About a year ago my now fiancé and I moved back to Arkansas. Some dear friends of ours were also contemplating their move and Jackson walked us through a house his dad owns, a house gutted at the time, in case they were interested in buying it post-restoration. As we walked I fell in love.…
When I got to the Bluehost homepage I wondered if I’d remember my password. It’s been awhile! A Global Pandemic and the current “Stay Home” initiative seems like a good time to restart this blog. I’m constantly scrolling through social media (both because it’s my job and because I’m hoping to interact with friends I…
The sky is a smooth, pearly grey on the morning of August 27th when we climb out of our rental car in Ireland. We stand in a small parking lot jutting off what I assume is someone’s house. Only one other car sits parked in the space. Green grass sprawls in all directions, littered only…
I’ve neglected this blog. I would feel guilty about that, but I don’t. The reason for the lack of stories here is I now work a full-time job telling stories. Before my Ireland/Croatia adventures I worked part-time at MOR Media Inc. in Northeast Arkansas. I was (and still am) building a digital platform that I…
Zagreb, Croatia It was early afternoon when I landed in Zagreb, Croatia. The capital city honestly didn’t look that much different from home as we headed away from the airport in the back of our taxi. But we didn’t pay too much attention to the surroundings: I was still busy gushing to my best friend…
After ten days in Croatia exploring with my best friend, and before that hanging out in Ireland with Jackson, I was alone for the first time in weeks (ever, in a foreign country). I had been excited for this part of the trip, too. Similar to how I had been excited for the next day…
Did something a bit different with this post! We took turns sharing about our experience as we planned and then embarked on our Croatian adventure. Two friends, but two very different people, we talk about why traveling with a companion can change how you travel. Lindsey: Eventually we just have to pick somewhere, I texted…
I’m a people pleaser. I always have been. And I think, though certainly to different degrees, we all are. We want to make someone proud, happy or perhaps impressed. We want to be admired, looked up to and respected. We crave an image of ourselves and we work hard to paint it. Who we…
You can’t really call a day and a half a vacation, but you can call it an adventure. When I put this post on my blog calendar it was actually going to be titled “In-between the Waves,” but after we got home I realized we didn’t even do the whole beach thing. All of my…
I always love it when a friend points someone my way because they make a good interview candidate. My long-time friend and In-between contributor, Madison, told me she’d met someone she knew had some great stories to tell. She then introduced us over email. I’m in awe that technology provides us with ways to meet…
