I’ve started a podcast! The who/what/when/where/ and why of The Fuzzy Pod are all discussed in the first episode!
Read MoreI’m not the baker friend (or cook as we know), but I really want to be. Well, at least through this whole “Megan Learns to Cook” journey, I really want to master childhood favorites and be able to make anyone a cake!
Read MoreBack in February, I wanted to find some ways to become a more tidy person. I’ve taken some of those practices and put them in to play. Here’s what’s worked the best for me so far and here’s where I hope to take these habits in the future!
Read MoreSpring is finally here, and while I’m certainly looking forward to going on my very own spring picnic with friends and family, there are a few other things I’m looking forward to as well…
Read MoreThe weather is warming up, which means more time outside to soak up the sunshine, and I’m already thinking of all the outdoor activities I want to do. One of those things is definitely picnics in the spring sunshine, which I mentioned in a recent blog post. But when I think about my ideal picnic, there are a few things I’ll need to really optimize the outing, so check out this list when planning your spring picnic!
Read MoreI’ve lived in a few different states and cities over the years, but I have seriously come to love Nashville and the subtle charm of this city. There are of course a ton of things to do here, but since warm weather is all that’s on my mind lately, I keep thinking about what a close-to-perfect Nashville day might be like.
Read MoreIt’s a pretty gloomy day in Nashville as I write this post, but colorful wild flowers are starting to reveal themselves once again. It has me ready to jump into spring! With dreams of spring on my mind, I thought I’d share my top five for spring 2023.
Read MorePlaying video games has been a part of my life since I was very young. I would plug in two controllers to our N64, boot up Mario Kart, and tell my younger sister to “pay attention to Yoshi, that’s who you are” knowing very well that it was a CPU player she was watching (oops. sorry to all the younger siblings this happened to). I guess you could say I took it seriously even at age 9.
Read MoreI’ve never been the most tidy person. Even as a kid, it seemed to me that trait was innate in some people, including one of my close friends who at 8 years old would help me organize books and toys at sleepovers. And as an adult, those habits are still apparent, and her home is ready for guests at any moment (where I need a nice heads up before my home feels remotely acceptable to others eyes). I’ve read a lot of books and asked my tidiest friends their advice, and a lot of the same things seems to come up.
Read MoreI’m sure you could guess this about me (if I haven’t already said it in previous posts), but I LOVE Valentine’s Day. I know it’s a Hallmark holiday, and I used to feel some level of pressure to make the day as romantic as possible. But these days, I like to celebrate in a more well-rounded way, prioritizing all the levels of love in my life. Whether that’s a romantic relationship, friendships you’ve fostered over the years, or family members that live near and far, Valentine’s Day can be a day to fit your unique relationships.
Read MoreOver the years, I’ve taken on some pretty ambitious New Year’s Resolutions. There’s nothing wrong with that, but they can be tough to maintain. I do love the reset that a new year can bring, but as we move through the beginning of 2023, I’ve tried to be a little more intentional with setting realistic and practical ways for me to take care of myself on a daily basis.
Read MoreThere are a lot of feelings that fly around as one year ends and a new one begins. For me, I feel mostly excited when each chapter closes because there’s something I love about “a fresh start.” At the same time, it can bring some gloominess when I think about the things I didn’t do but hoped to.
Read MoreIn the spirit of the holidays, I decided to take a stab at tasty treats for this month’s Megan Learns to Cook post. Sweets always give me that cozy holiday vibe, and I was really excited to try some new to me recipes this year. I started off with some gingerbread cookies and then a tea cake recipe that I grew up with…
Read MoreA Q&A with Megan all about the making of her new album “Christmas Morning”. We discuss what the process was like, why she wanted to make this album, and what inspired her while making the album…
Read MoreIt’s December, which means that holiday season is here, and the month will be full of celebrations! Holiday dinners, parties, time with family, etc. I’m looking forward to all of them, but sometimes I have trouble figuring out what to wear for each event.
Read MoreFinding the perfect gift for someone is one of my favorite things to do. Gift giving truly is my love language. For some people, this time of year brings a lot of stress around finding a gift, especially one that feels true to the person you’re giving this gift to.
Read MoreOur second year of marriage we hosted our first ever Thanksgiving. The food responsibilities were spread out, but I decided I would be the one to make the Key Lime Pie because the truth is: I needed to redeem myself. Many Thanksgivings prior, I had ruined the pie, and it never set for some reason. So I was determined to make it up.
Read MoreWe have absolutely been loving our new puppy Kirby, but he is definitely a lot of work! It’s been a few years since we’ve raised a puppy, so we’re learning that our must-haves now are a bit different from back then. Obviously this isn’t everything, but these are the things that I’ve noticed are really making a difference for him.
Read MoreWhen November 1st rolls around, I’m usually ready to immediately bring my Christmas tree down from the attic and heat up the hot cocoa. But for the first time, I find myself really wanting to relish every moment and changing leaf during fall 2022.
Read MoreI love Nashville in the fall because that crisp, cool air blows into the city and the trees in the countryside look like they’re on fire with all the reds, yellows, and oranges that come out. It’s a beautiful season all around, and even though I’ve lived here for a few years now, I’m always trying to explore new places.
