Hello, October 2019


It's October! I can't believe that we are at the tail of end 2019 already. First of all, I love the Fall 🍁which I mentioned in my weekly favorites last week, so I'm all for the fact that it is October. What I'm not all for is the fact that it has felt more like Spring lol. I need the leaves to begin to fall, chillier temperatures (but not freezing), sweaters, scarves and way less rain. Then it will feel like Fall to me. 

On the other hand, it is starting to get darker earlier, which usually is a true indicator of Fall. Daylight saving is around the corner, and I can't pass up an extra hour of sleep. Something about transitioning into a new season makes me so tired, it's like my body is trying to figure out what the heck is going on. I'm hoping in the upcoming weeks to get back in the swing of things and get my Fall routine going! Slowly but surly it'll happen. Never fails that I'm always a few weeks late to getting in the groove of seasonal changes. Let alone all changes. 

September felt like a blur honestly. The month dragged along and every weekend I had some social outing going on. I'm not complaining at all, just saying, this girl is tired! I'm looking forward to seeing what October has in store. I have a whole list of Fall things I want to do, like go to the Cider Mill, check out some Museums and there are a few movies that I want to check out too. Let's not forget that the Holiday season is coming, and I am all for Thanksgiving and Christmas. I can not wait! So much to be thankful for. I'm looking forward to cheesy Holiday movies, warm blankets, a hot cup of tea and spending time with my loved ones. 

This time of year I really start to reflect on ways to make the next year even better, things I need to work on, and ways to grow. I also think a lot about how luckily I am to have had another year with my family and friends. Sometimes it's the little things that spark so much joy. Something about this season has always felt so familiar and so special for me. Here we go October... please be good!

I'm a Christian But ... - Tea Talk

Happy Tuesday to those who have taken the time to stop by my little corner of the internet!  Whelp, I'm about to get deep. Fair warning.  Recently, I have been thinking more & more about how awesome God is to love us despite our many flaws. He made us in his image and continues to love and protect us even though most days, we fall short.  My family has always been believers in God. While we may not have always been avid church goers, I have always known who God was and that everything I have is thanks to him. My Mom has always been a prayer warrior, and instilled in me very young to PRAY and seek God for everything. Every night I find her on her knees praying before bed. If I could describe an earthy Angel, it would be my Mom. Speaking of Angels, I think of my Paternal Grandfather, who we called Papa. He was a man of faith through & through, most of his days were spent reading his Bible, that he read front to back time and time again. As he got older, he would li...

The Art of Letting Go - Tea Talk

Happy Tuesday! Last week I finally did something I've been debating for months. I kept going back and forth in my mind. Should I do this? Do I really want to close that door for good? Is this super petty? The truth is, I'm big on closure and when I don't have any type of closure, I struggle moving on completely . My former friend of 4 years randomly walked out of my life over a year ago now. Yes, I was ghosted. And no, nothing happened to cause the ghosting. I really don't get how to you do that someone, especially after nothing happened? So again, back to closure. I deleted said-ghosted friend off of all social media platforms. I NEEDED closure and this was about the only way I was going to get any from her. I think the icing on the cake was her post 2-3 weeks ago that said something along the lines of "it's great having TRUE friends" . My thought was, as if the friends you had weren't "TRUE" enough, apparently you have moved on and now...

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 bee...
