In March 2020 I was 26 years old living in New Hampshire, only had one dog, and a completely different job. Now I’m 28 (almost 29) back in New Jersey with 2 dogs, engaged, and 2 jobs past that job in 2020. I don’t think I’ll stop talking about COVID any time soon. It has…
Nothing like a good ol pandemic to make you change part of your personality, right? I’ve always been introverted, but in the last 2 years I’ve basically lost all social skills. DoorDash means I don’t have to order food in person or even meet up with a delivery driver. Working from home meant meeting all…
Before 2020, my years were spent traveling. In 3 years alone I went to Iceland, Thailand, Egypt, the Netherlands, and more. And now? I’ve always had travel anxiety. I get to the airport early and basically think something is guaranteed to go wrong. I don’t sleep the night before, I get sick to my stomach.…
If we were having coffee, catching up on the month that’s flown by, you’d probably ask me - how was your New Years? I’d tell you that unfortunately my fiancé and I caught COVID celebrating Christmas Eve with my family. We never really got terribly sick, but quarantined for the first 10 days of January…

In 6 months, it will be 2022. Did 2021 even happen? I'm still processing 2020. About a year ago today, I packed up my office in New Hampshire. I had only been there a handful of times since we were sent to work from home in March 2020. The whole building was quiet and our…
There is something really inspiring about seeing everyone get outside and be happy and healthy after the year we've all had. I'm going to play a little dumb and pretend that all of these people are vaccinated and are doing what's best for the overall population, so bear with me. The state of New Jersey…
It's been a year, I've been vaccinated, but would would I have done a year ago if I knew that COVID was coming? A few blogger buddies and I teamed up to talk about it! Rosie (Rosie Culture) If a week before the pandemic hit I knew that I wouldn’t see my family for six…
