I have been in corporate for 14 years now, and been in many different positions-ad account coordinator, program manager, order management, global supply chain, network services packaging, etc. All have their pros and cons as any job does, but sometimes a job’s cons actually start affecting your overall well-being. That is where I most recently found myself after being employed at the same company for five years. I had taken on more and more responsibility, and the work was becoming so much like digging a hole in the sand at low tide, marveling at the work you did, only to watch it get...…I have been in corporate for 14 years now, and been in many different positions-ad account coordinator, program manager, order management, global supply chain, network services packaging, etc. All have their pros and cons as any job does, but sometimes a job’s cons actually start affecting your overall well-being.

I have felt in the wrong place at the wrong time for most of my adult life. The wrong jobs, the wrong relationships, wrong a lot of things. When I say wrong, I don’t mean like doing drugs under a bridge wrong… I mean like things I really knew weren’t for me BUT I was the good, dutiful daughter, wife, friend, etc. and there were expectations of me I needed to fulfill I was driven by accomplishments, and I had many. Most people would think I had the life they would want, but none of those accomplishments were really fulfilling. I mean, there was even a rumor post-college that I married a...…I have felt in the wrong place at the wrong time for most of my adult life.

On June 17th I turned 34. So far, my 30’s have been a complete blur, a happy blur, but a blur none the less. I was 38 weeks pregnant on my birthday, so I really wasn’t in the party mood. Usually, I would be taking myself on an international birthday trip, but late pregnancy and COVID made that a bit impossible. Instead, we kept it simple by going out to a local pizza joint for dinner and then turning in for an early night. As I was lying in bed, I started thinking about how it was so weird I was now 34. Somehow, I felt way younger, and way older at the same time. Then, I started thinking...…On June 17th I turned 34. So far, my 30’s have been a complete blur, a happy blur, but a blur none the less.

Summer is just about here, and I haven’t been this excited since I actually had a summer break (that was 13 years ago-how has time flown by that quickly?!) Maybe it’s that freedom feeling summer brings and we need it now more than ever, or maybe it’s the fact that we have a new baby who will be here in a little over 30 days. Whatever the reason, I am ready for the possibilities of the season, and hopefully time at the beach. Lately, I’ve had a few posts with items I really love and use mostly when the weather gets hot. Some of you have asked me where to get them, so I thought I’d put...…Summer is just about here, and I haven’t been this excited since I actually had a summer break (that was 13 years ago-how has time flown by that quickly?!)

I love how you can take this tank dress from a daytime casual look to date night or work simply by swapping out flats for heels, and using a cardigan or blazer to give it that little extra!
