Well, full disclosure, I am newly married. I find myself waffling
between these conventional ideals and unconventional possibilities of
marriage. I know there isn’t a “right” answer, but I have this urge to
peek into other smart women’s lives and see what works for them, and
what doesn’t. What solidly personal introspection did you do while
deciding to be married? To make a baby? To separate? To get divorced?
Meaning, were you able to reflect solely on your needs? Or does that
become impossible while partnered. What compromises were a good idea? Is
there anything you would caution newly married people against? Or did
everything work out exactly as it was “supposed” to.

I actually
work with domestic violence perpetrators, survivors, and their kids for
my job, so I spend a lot of time thinking about survival in a
relationship. It doesn’t allow for much consideration of building a
healthy marriage or a healthy divorce.

Mom & Waits tutorials/recipes would be amazing. I agree with others that the cocktail series would be a good route as well. Buuuttt… I have a feeling you’d most enjoy a wide open variety of videos. Personals, how-tos, answering questions, recipes, Waits, gardening, reviews, series, etc.! I’m excited!

What an excellent beach day, and congrats on the go cart win : ) I agree that videos lend themselves well to diy & instructional topics, and you can make them personal if you want since you’ll probably be able to tie in memories and stories relative to each one, which people will love. Looking forward to them!

Love List + finding out there’s a vegan holistic doctor very close to where I live + reading book by said doctor + super-satisfying, refreshing green smoothies + a pair of white-breasted nuthatches on our big tree + visiting a local nature preserve + making healthier choices + getting {procrastinated} projects done + time with friends + nectarines & blueberries + our csa + tea & coffee + getting to meet Donovan the mini cow at our friends’ sanctuary { love }

Your pictures make your beach day out look luscious! I had a similar day but with the Norway equivalent. A lake, woods, sun baked stones and cold dips.

* swimming outside in nature, very cold but wonderful * the dark chocolate I’m eating and the anticipation of the wine in the fridge * making new connections. I only just joined a vegan Facebook group and have already met some wonderful people. * plans for new friend dosa and chai dates * being asked to make my own guide to Oslo on Stay.com * running further than I ever had and even after falling over, I got straight back up and ran some more. * making plans with my love. *the sun come out from the clouds.

Hmm, interesting thoughts, thanks for the input Katie. I do have lots of thoughts on marriage and relationships . . . not sure people would like to hear what I have to say though, as my new perspective is pretty unconventional.

In general, I have no problem sharing my insides publicly, haha. I always refer to myself as an exhibitionist introvert.

Aside from thoughts on marriage/relationships, what kind of other personal stuff do you think would be interesting?
