It’s the end of an era. My youngest nephew starts It’s the end of an era. My youngest nephew starts his college football journey tomorrow. I’ve spent the last few days going through old videos of his high school football seasons, just in awe of his athleticism, sportsmanship and dedication to something he loves so deeply. I might not be back in the Bulldogs stadium next season, but this is only just the start of a new journey that I’m so excited to be a part of. Christian, I’m so happy and excited for this next step in your life. Never lose that ambition inside of you to keep going and leveling up. 🔥🔥🔥 ILYSM • • • • #collegebound #collegefootball #indianawesleyanuniversity #iwufootball
If you’re new here, welcome! I’m Marie! Over the If you’re new here, welcome! I’m Marie! Over the years, this space has evolved right alongside me. What started as posting photos of my lunch with the Lark filter (if you know, you know) has grown into a blog, podcast, newsletter, and a creative outlet for the things that inspire me most. Here you’ll find: Travel. Motherhood. Married life. Wellness. Beauty. Hosting. And making everyday life feel a little more intentional. I’m passionate about creating a life filled with meaningful experiences, beautiful moments, and simple pleasures, because there’s so much value in slowing down and appreciating the life around you. Whether you’re here for travel inspiration, lifestyle ideas, beauty finds, motherhood content, or everyday reminders to romanticize life, I’m so glad you’re here. • • • • #lifestyleblogger #lifestylecontentcreator #everydayliving
Life got a little busy, so part 3 of my NYC is fin Life got a little busy, so part 3 of my NYC is finally here. My final day in NYC included Roosevelt Island, SoHo, some of the best coffee I’ve ever had and a unique flavor of ice cream that honestly has me ready to fly back already. Save this for your next trip to New York City!
Traveling with my toddler has taught me so much, b Traveling with my toddler has taught me so much, but mostly how to slow down a little more. Children notice everything. The sounds, the textures, the little moments we’d normally rush right past. Watching her experience new places has been such a reminder to be a little more present myself. • • • • #travelingwithtoddlers #momlife #toddlertravel

Travel has taught me that confidence isn’t always Travel has taught me that confidence isn’t always loud. Sometimes it looks like figuring out the subway in a new city. Trying something unfamiliar. Navigating places you’ve never been before and realizing you’re capable of more than you thought. I think that’s one of the most beautiful parts of travel — it quietly pushes you beyond your comfort zone in ways that stay with you long after you come home. #nationaltourismday #nationaltourismweek #solotravel
