  • Sometimes the best days are the unplanned ones 🖤 #thegoodlist on a Saturday // gym, @pinest8biscuits, window shopping @cityhomepdx, cruising around downtown Portland with my boys, quick photoshoot for a new blog post (coming soon!), trying a new restaurant close to home & showing up slightly overdressed for beer and tacos 💁‍♀️ #sofancy
  • How I'm feeling because it's finally the weekend 💃 it's Friday (woohoo) and I've seen some new faces around here so thought I'd do a little #fridayintroductions 😊️ My name is Danielle (obvs) and I share about my life here on insta and over on my blog - link in profile 😉 I share life things and style things (hence the lifestyle blogger). Some fun stuff, as well as some real-life, tough stuff. I sometimes struggle with which box I fit in - blogger or writer - and for now, I've decided I don't need to "fit in" anything. I like doing both, and I feel like I can serve with both. I'm mostly known for my love of Target, or #thattargetlady 🎯 the love is real and it's deep. I recently moved to Oregon just over 2 years ago from Oklahoma, and I finally feel like I'm finding my footing here. When I'm not wondering the aisles of @target, you can find me exploring all the corners of Oregon with my 2 loves, @chrismadrigal8 and @atankfulloflove 👨🐶 These last few years have been some of my hardest, but I'm trying to look at them as growing years and turning what was a mess into my message. A journey through loss - losing a spouse, losing a secure job, losing friends, losing myself. In losing most, if not all, of what I knew, I could see so much more clearly. Which was enlightening and scary at the same time. I don't claim to hold all the answers. I don't have it all together (spoiler alert: no one does). I don't know what I'm doing half the time. But I'm here to share my truth and what I know and believe in. I don't believe in balance. I'm not a fan of Girl, Wash Your Face. I don't believe in a religion. I believe in a faith. I believe in the real, the raw, the scary, the awkward, the beautiful. My hope here is to share my stories and truth to help and encourage others. Whether that's through my writing, my grief, my favorite picks at Target. I hope you stick around & get cozy & share with me your story & truths so I too can learn from you 💕
  • Last month, @chrismadrigal8 and I got invited to enjoy a #datenight dinner 💏 at @lineandlurekitchenandtapilani in the new @ilaniresort casino in Ridgefield, WA. We had an amazing dinner, and I wrote all about #ontheblog! And can we talk about that dessert tray? 😍😍 I'm not really a dessert person, and that tray even convinced me to order something 😆 we can't wait to go back once the warmer temps roll around so we can fully enjoy that patio and a happy hour 😎🍸 #lineandlurekitchenandtap #ilaniresort #fridaydatenight
  • One thing I was nervous about after losing a spouse was dating. Not necessarily the dating part itself (although that proved to be interesting and a whole new world in and of itself), but how my new partner and I would navigate my grief. And in a way, OUR grief. Not only is my grief journey difficult for me, it's difficult for Chris at times too. He also has feelings, emotions, and thoughts that need to be heard and validated, just as much as mine do. And I love and truly appreciate that he loves and trust me enough to share those with me. We've both had to grow and work on sharing those with each other. But we are far from perfect. We constantly have to remind each other this is new for both of us. That we both have this new challenge. And we can choose to navigage it alone or we can decide to navigate it together. On the days one of us (read: mainly me) tries to go at it alone, we tend to "fail." But when we choose to walk it together, we feel more "successful." The rough days don't seem as bad, and even if we are still "failing," at least we are failing together. I firmly believe that one of our sole purposes in this life is to teach and learn from each other's stories and experiences. It's our responsibility to share, and it's equally our responsibility to be open to learning and change. I'm continuously growing in this, and praying daily for the courage to share my story and the humility to learn from it. 🙏💕
  • November is National Family Caregivers Month 💛 and since being a caregiver for my late husband Kenny, I’ve come to learn that the caregiver can often be overlooked. Do you know a caregiver and not sure how to help them? Or are you afraid you'll say the wrong thing or be more of a burden than a help? Then my new blog post may be for you! 💞 #ontheblog #linkinbio I decided to write this post and share some ways you can help & support a caregiver. After talking with friends (who are also caregivers), there seems to be a general feeling of loneliness and lack of support. So my hope is that this post will provide some helpful and tangible ideas for you and your loved ones to alleviate those lonely and unsupportive feelings often felt by caregivers. We all know a caregiver, have had one, and/or have been one ourselves 💕 please feel free to share the link with others 🙏 (and share your ideas in the comments!) #sharingiscaring 😊 This was a collaborative effort so THANK YOU to my friends who helped and offered input! 😘😘 Couldn't have done this post without you! ❤
  • This pup. He saves us more times than he'll ever know and in ways we never could've dreamed of. I've been really struggling with something lately, and sometimes I want to share it all here with you. But sometimes I don't even know where to start. I'm afraid I'll say something wrong or offend someone or just come off as whining and complaining. But I also know that sharing thoughts and feelings do a couple of things. It helps us see the truth instead of the lies and stories we make up in our heads. Secondly, it may help others see that they're not alone - that maybe they're feeling the same thing, but are too afraid to speak it because of the same reasons I mentioned above. After doing @laura.tremaine's #10thingstotellyou challenge a bit ago, I promised myself I'd share more - the struggles, the truths, the real, the raw, the scary, the fun, the things that brought me joy. All of it. So tonight, I'm sharing with you my struggle as of late. I want to be a mom. It's all I've ever wanted to be. But my life has not quite turned out I thought it would at age 32, almost 33. And I'm struggling with that. I've struggled with it in the past, but with this year's Thanksgiving came countless baby announcements. Seeing posts of mamas with their babies. Their beautiful, gold necklaces with the word "mama" engraved in script letters. Some days, I'm fine and I don't think a thing of any of it. Other days, I have to just shut it all off. I'm so happy for my friends, it's not that at all. It's a frustration within me. And it's something I'm constantly having to work on and through. When I have a bad day, I think about everything I do have - Chris, Tank, wonderful friends and family, an amazing job, a beautiful life in Oregon wine country, my health, 2 legs, 2 arms, all 20 toes and fingers, food in my fridge, a car to drive to work, a bed to sleep on. The blessings are endless. Endless. But it doesn't mean I don't struggle. That I don't yearn for something my heart knows where it belongs. So for now, I will count my blessings, love on my people, and believe this is all in perfect timing. His timing. And have faith that this season is to prepare my heart for what it wants💕
