A hopefully welcome return

It's been so, so long. Life gets a hold of ya, passion ebbs and flows, and other interests peak and wane.

I'm still teaching ninth grade kiddos. I still live in a 34th floor postage stamp in Chicago. I'm still a directionless, yet forward moving millenial. 

Thursday afternoon snacks and a little bit of light reading at one of my favorite neighborhood stops 🥑💚📗

Sundays are for girls supporting girls, third day hair, and soaking in the autumn sun. Shoutout to @daisynatives for my absolute new favorite shirt. 🎀❤️☀️

I've been some new places (notably, Denver a few weekends ago). I've had some new experiences (who would've thought I'd VOLUNTARILY get dirty during a Spartan Race). I've (hopefully) become a little wiser. 

I fell somewhere between 20 and 30 times hiking up the mountain in my tennis shoes to get this picture

Thankful for weekend adventures (among many, many other things)

Oh yeah, I also died my hair pink. 

Ushering in the new week with a bit of coy and a lot of color
