I’ve always been a skinny girl. I say girl because lately as a woman, I’ve started gaining weight. One of my medications, which does cause weight gain, has done just that: caused me to put on some pounds. When I say some, I mean a steady rapid increase of 50 pounds.

Hello there! Thanks for checking out my blog. Fun Facts: • I'm in my mid 30s! • Writing is a HUGE part of my life—I'd be lost if I couldn't express myself through words. (Growing up, books were a source of comfort for me. I’m still drawn to bookshelves & read as often as I can.) • My other hobbies include knitting, gaming, & coloring. • I have two "Golden Girl" Retrievers, Charlie (4) & Lily (almost a year old! How time flies). My family, friends, dogs, & fiancé Rory are all very important in my life. I honestly wouldn't trade them for anything! Happy blogging, everyone! 💙
