Here We Go


Hey there, friends! I'm Hil, and I am an Introverted twenty-something living in a small town. I am engaged to my high school sweetheart and a Mom to one cute fur ball pup.

I love to organize, craft, plan, travel and enjoy life with my loved ones. I tend to have dry sarcastic humor, I never pass up donuts, I love vintage items, finding a good sale gives me life and I wish it was Christmas all year long. I have a huge heart but I can be sassy when needed and I am constantly working toward becoming the best version of myself. Some days I fall short, but I never stop striving towards getting where I want to be. We are all a work in progress, and that's okay!

We all know that adulting is hard. After a long day at work, there are times where I’m so exhausted when I get home I don’t have much energy left to do the things I love, like knitting or reading a good book. There are other days when I am so stressed that it seems like the walls are closing in on me. Lately, I’ve been trying to embrace the good in each day. Yes, life is stressful, busy, and hectic but there is always a few good things that happens every day. My goal is to slow down and notice those moments more (again, work in progress).

Here on Tea Time with Hil, I will share all the simple joys that life brings but will also talk about how real the struggle can be. A lot of times when we hear “tea” we think of gossip, but my tea is sharing experiences. I'm hoping to use this as an outlet for inspiration, growing in faith and encouragement not only for myself but for others, all while we sip a hot cup of tea (or coffee...wine, whatever you prefer haha). I mean let’s be real, a girls got to have her tea or coffee! This is a place where a small town introvert will give herself a space to just put it out there. Which can be hard for me at times. I plan to share topics that come to mind, that we all experience and go through. Aside from that, it will be whatever strikes my fancy.

When I think of Tea Talk, I instantly think of a space where you can be your true self and share what goes on in our day-to-day lives. It can be hard to be so introverted and put yourself out there, but this is my own little corner of the internet that I will use as a safe space to connect and share. While you are here, I hope you find peace, a giggle or two and mostly importantly, remember to not only enjoy the extraordinary things in life, but enjoy the ordinary too. Enough about me… Welcome, and thank you for stopping by. I hope you enjoy the tea!

20 Random Facts About Me

Happy Thursday! Clearly there is no rhyme or reason to when I post at this point. When I first started, I had this whole structured plan but that seemed a bit too stuffy, so now I post what feels good, when it feels right! Anyhow, I thought it would be interesting to share 20 random facts about myself. I seem that see that as a common post on most blogs, and a fun read! Here we go... My fiancé and I met because we were best friends in high school. We started dating our senior year and have been together for over 10 years. The day we get married this year will be 11!  I have a 5 1/2 year old Dog, who I still refer to as my Pup. He's a Schnauzer/Terrier mix and he's the biggest diva I know lol.  I love crafting, which I'm pretty sure I inherited from my Mom. She's really into restoring furniture and sewing. I prefer knitting best, but I don't discriminate.  Remember the show Glee? That was me in Middle School & High School. I was an all out Choir Girl and t...

Dear Teenage Self - Tea Talk

Hi friends! Lately I've been thinking about what I would tell my younger self now that I am more than a decade out of high school. I have learn so much about life since then. I've shed many tears, laughed until my stomach hurts and gone through many seasons of life. In retrospect, I admire the girl that I was then but that is not without saying there aren't many times that I wish I could go back and be like "girl, let me fill you in on this". I'm sure we all have those moments from time to time.  Here is what I'd tell my teenage self... Dear Hil,  High School will not be easy. Your in this weird paradox between being the nerdy honors student but also being pretty darn cool. You can be a bit intimidating at times but that's because you feel like you have to be strong all the time. People will like you, but there will also be people who try to make your life hell. You never really know why. I hate to tell you this but you will deal with bullies for most ...
