Jet Set Candy

I found this shop while just wandering around in New York City, and absolutely love, love, love the concept!  It’s so clever, and for anyone who appreciates travel this can be the perfect gift!  They have trinkets representing wanderlust-worthy cities all over the world.  The charms are all designed to represent the city they harken to.  New York City has a tiny empire state building, a taxi, and several other charms.  They also have airport code tags! Which I am obsessed with.  The one drawback I had was the price, I felt it was a little expensive.  Especially given that it’s something you might want to get several of; for various cities you love! This is not a sponsored post, as someone who loves to travel and collect mementos from the cities I visit I had to share it with fellow travelers!

New Year’s Eve

It’s been a big year for me! I started my blog, I started touring a lot more, I released two songs to radio, and there were ups and downs, and bridges to cross, it was a lot packed into one year, but all in all, it’s been a great year and so much fun.  I loved playing shows in LA, Chicago, New York City, Vermont, Maine, and visiting so many new places as well!  I’ve grown as a musician, I’ve learned so much professionally, personally, and through going to school at Belmont all the while.  I love the people I get to work with, the music I get to create, the musicians I get to play with, it’s such a magical experience every time we step on stage.  Here are some of my favorite pictures from this year, I’ve had such a great time sharing it with you!

Recharged and Ready!

In an interview someone recently asked me how I find balance.  It’s important to find time to be inspired and not just if you’re a creative person in a creative field, we all need time to recharge.  Over Thanksgiving I didn’t have good service for almost three days! Which is hardly any time, but really gave me the chance to feel unplugged and enjoy the nature I was surrounded by.  I had Audrey with me and I got to laugh until my stomach ached and enjoy my family and time just hanging out with my Mum.  I think this experience reminded me how we can get caught living every day and not appreciating the little moments.  How do you find time to slow down and appreciate the little things?

Thankful

I have so much to be thankful for, and every year that list seems to grow.  I have wonderful people to share life with, I do what I love professionally, and I have wonderful fans and readers like you to be thankful for!  I know Thanksgiving is a day, but this whole season reminds me to take stock of all the blessings I’ve been given and really treasure them! What are you thankful for?

Adventure in the Ozarks

I’m so fortunate to get to spend Thanksgiving with my family, and sometimes that means one piece of my family, and sometimes it means another.  This year I spent in in Branson Missouri with some of the best people I know on the family ranch.  On Thanksgiving morning we went for an early morning drive and discovered all kinds of wildlife on the ranch! I know some people like to hunt but I prefer shooting with my camera lens! How was your Thanksgiving?

Lost In Time in Upstate New York

We were driving in the middle of nowhere, there were old farmhouses every five minutes, then suddenly I saw neon up ahead.  We drove up and there was a classic diner in the middle of all these farms!  Sometimes when touring you drive through some empty areas and stumble into some interesting spots, and this was one of those times. It was a pink building that looked like it had been there since the 50s, and the inside was completely vintage themed as well!  To be quite honest, the best part of the food was the dessert, because the ice cream was like a cloud! It was so fluffy! What’s your favorite spot for a frozen treat?
