Musings I spent half the month of August in the U.K., so this post is going to be a mini love letter to my favorite British tings. In addition to London, I also spent time on the east coast of England (a first for me) in villages like Wye and Whitstable. Kent was actually named…

Daydreamer Diaries: July 2022
Musings I spend a lot of time thinking about why I love to travel, and I’ve managed to come up with some pretty deep reasons over the years. And then this month, Hulu started streaming Mary Kate and Ashley’s 1999 masterpiece, “Passport to Paris.” I rewatched it for the first time in 20 years and…
Daydreamer Diaries: June 2022
Musings Summer is officially here, and June has been the best kind of busy. Things kicked off in Yosemite National Park at the beginning of the month and ended with my niece being born!!! I also squeezed in another quick trip to Chicago–there’s really nothing better than summer in the city. I love finding an…
Daydreamer Diaries: May 2022

Musings I just got back from spending 3 days dancing in the desert with my friends, so I’m feeling super grateful. We bought tickets to Coachella in 2019 when life looked a lot different for all of us. To finally make it there after all this time was extra special–it’s a weekend I never want…
Daydreamer Diaries: Mar 2022
Musings This month marked another year around the sun. I definitely see aging as a privilege– it’s something I never take for granted. I spent time with family on my actual birthday, time with the best of friends (and many margaritas) the following day, and then treated myself to a solo staycation in Chicago a…
Daydreamer Diaries: Feb 2022
Musings On the day Russia launched a full-scale invasion on Ukraine, I was on a flight to the Bahamas with my best friend. Life is full of loss, heartbreak, disease, uncertainty, and fear… so when you get the chance to hold loved ones close and find moments of happiness, you take it. And that’s what…
