  • No one likes a salty beach ✌ or a shady one either 🌊😂 . Happy Friday!! 🎉🥂 We're heading back to the coast this weekend - but going north this time! ⚓ It's been over 3 years since I visited Cannon Beach.

  • human•kind // be both Last week, I had the privilege of volunteering at work with some co-workers. We handed out free lunches at a local park to kids, any age, race, economic background, religion, didn't matter. All kids were welcomed. We had a slow turn out so we were offering seconds, even thirds. A little boy, about 5 or 6, came through the line again, no parent in tow. He looked a little lost and not sure where to start, and he was swallowed by the rush of older kids who knew exactly what to do. I left my post (napkin girl is a serious job) to help him out. We grabbed his bag and picked out some condiments, but I realized he skipped grabbing his milk. "Oh, do you want a milk? Let's get you a milk. Regular or chocolate?" "Regular!" "Okay, let's put it in your bag and let's grab you some napkins too." As I was stuffing napkins into his bag, he said with pure joy, "You know what? You're the BEST! Can we be friends??" Y'all. My heart melted. Into a huge puddle right there in the park. 😭❤ The simplest of tasks made this kid's day. And I'm sure he forgot about it as soon as he got back to his table and started eating his seconds. But for that moment, we were best friends. In that moment, he was being human and vulnerable, expressing his feelings and asking such a risky question. Isn't it funny how little kids just say it how it is and it's like they have no fear of the outcome? As we get older, we experience more hurt and pain. Our instinct is to protect and guard. But when we let that guard down and offer kindness, we can be available to receive great things. Are we at risk for getting hurt? Of course, almost always when we open ourselves to new experiences. I'll be honest and be the first to admit, I haven't been the best at this. I've been hurt and hurt deeply. My first reaction in a moment of vulnerability is to withdraw and recede. I'm learning and trying to practice this new way of thinking and reacting in new situations. And now, I can always refer back to this little boy and his bravery in asking such a simple, but scary question. And yes, Aiden and I are best friends now 😊💕 #humankindbeboth #humankind #kindnessalwayswins #bekindalways
  • Double tap if you're a huge #traderjoes fan like me ❤🙋‍♀️ I had always heard about all the amazing things people would get from TJ’s, but we didn't have one in OKC. Until the week I was moving from OKC to Oregon. Then one opened up minutes from my house 🙄 Naturally. To say I was bummed is an understatement. I needed to know what all the hype was about! Lucky for me, when I moved to Oregon, I gained several Trader Joe’s stores within an hour or so 🙌 PRAISE! A few weeks back in my stories, I asked y’all if you'd be interested in a post with some of favorites. The response was an overwhelming YES! Well, the #blogpost is live 😄 LINK IN BIO 👆 it has some of my favorites, things I buy almost every trip, as well as some recipe/easy meal ideas! 🎉ADDED BONUS🎉 There's a free printable grocery list just for you 📜 No sign-up required – just click, download, and print! Happy shopping, friends! 😘
  • Wow. Thank you thank you thank you. For all the support on my last post 💕 I had no idea it would resonate with so many people. If I'm being honest, I was selfishly writing for myself, for my healing, but in doing so, it helped others. I'm so grateful for this space and community 🙏 On days where I just want to sign off and throw in the towel because writing and blogging isn't the easiest (and most days I feel less than adequate), these are the moments that keep me going. Receiving private messages about how it helped you or how you needed to hear those words that day - those messages will always trump the number of likes, followers, and page views. Since there are a few new faces, I figured I'd do #fridayintroductions 🤓 so hi y'all 👋 my name is Danielle, and I write here in these little squares and over on my blog (link in my bio) from time to time, where I write all things lifestyle + encouragement + grief. I'm a 32 yr old widow (you can read more about that on my About page ☺), learning that there are all types of grief in life. I've lost more than I ever imagined I would since losing my husband. But I'm slowly discovering who I am again and what I really want out of this life. I share my story, struggles, and lessons with the hope that you may see a part of yourself in my story and leave inspired ✨✨✨ I love hearing others' stories and sharing shines light on all those deep, dark places we're sometimes afraid to share. You're not alone. So tell me (in the comments or DM), what's yours?? What is something you're struggling with or feeling freakin' awesome about? Let's shine those beautiful, bright lights, friends 🕯❤ together 😊
  • I wrote a new post. It's not about clothes or the next big trend or my favorite winery or the best place to grab brunch. It's real, raw, definitely not going to get me any sponsored posts, and I didn't run it by anyone before hitting publish. But it's from the depths of my heart. And if I'm being honest, it was more for me and the two men I wrote it to than anyone else. But I hope it may help someone else who has experienced the same loss and new feelings ❤ (You know the drill... link in bio *cue all the vulnerability feels and crawling into a hole*) 📷Unsplash//Florian Klauer
  • #tbt to a couple weekends ago when @chrismadrigal8 and I barely made it in time to get an afternoon snack from @pipsoriginal 🍩🍩🍩 PSA they close at 4pm, getting there at 3:50pm is maybe the best time to go... hardly anyone in line! 😂🤷‍♀️ also, their seasonal flavor raspberry is 👌😋😍 . #pipsoriginal made the list for some of our favorite #oregon spots #ontheblog 📜 if you haven't checked it out yet, be sure to click the link in my profile and read the #wherewewander post! 🌲🌊 (and yes, I have 2 #pipsoriginaldoughnuts pics in my top 9... they're that good #noshameinmydonutgame 😏)
