If you’ve been following along on my Instagram and Facebook, you will have noticed a new face that needs to be officially introduced here on my blog. Long story short — I bought a new horse!
I have an agricultural communications degree.

Even with my past event coverage experiences highlighted on my résumé — never did I ever think I’d be on the dirt watching the National Finals Rodeo, let alone working at it. The 10 days I spent covering NFR 2020 is what I tell people was simply the coolest experience ever.
Hey, blog.
I know I’ve put you out to pasture these past couple of months. There’s been so much to cover it exhausts me just thinking about trying to string the words together and share the good, the bad and the ugly. First and foremost, we moved! We’re back in Arizona enjoying the desert’s version of fall. Matt’s managing a ranch and working on his newsletter and my mobile office just packed up and followed him West (WFH perks, am I RIGHT?). Our house in Colorado sold relatively quickly and we moved in with family in Tucson while we were on the hunt for the perfect place. We’ve been looking seriously for about 3 months now and I’m pleased to say that 3 offers, a few ulcers and lots of tears later, we’re officially under contract on a house! Simultaneously, while living in limbo, my client roster has doubled and I am still loving being a full-time small business owner. I can’t believe I’m about to celebrate a full year in business. This business and I certainly grew up a lot these past 11 months. While the making it to the 1 mark of self-employed status and finding a new home headlines are shareworthy — they’re of course eclipsed by the newest member to the herd, Luna the bottle calf.
After a year of living in our first house, we’ve really started to hone in on our style. Matt and I together definitely are a weird combo of minimal/modern/traditional/rustic styles. We’ve accomplished displaying this blend by this by mixing leather and natural elements with some pops of color and nods to the cattle and horse worlds. Being a horse girl, there’s never enough horse decor so I’ve “rounded-up” (for lack of better words, feel free to click off this page now, ha) some decor items I’ve found and am loving.
I’d totally have all of these in my home.
Hey guys! Long time no see! I promised I’d be more consistent in my blogging, but here I am. Just ya know, trying to run a business during A GLOBAL PANDEMIC. Hashtag nbd.
Anyways, I’ve been freelancing social media and writing services now for just over 8 months and while it’s been a sharp learning curve, I’m pleased to be able to share some of my acquired “hacks” aka tools with y’all, so today I’m sharing my favorite tools and resources (and some serious savings $$$) for all my freelancers and side hustlers out there. Enjoy!
Since I officially started freelancing at the end of November 2019, I know this post is a little late! But ya know, I’ve just have been dealing with a global pandemic and what not! This post is actually great for me both personally and professionally, as it holds me accountable and gives me room to review and improve.
What do you get when you put ABBA, Post Malone and Duran Duran in a playlist? Eclectic material for a 30-second dance party, Grey’s Anatomy style, of course.
