Spoiler alert: When I share my recap on my trip to Austin it’s not going to be very popular. But, because I always want to lead with positivity, I did want to share this fantastic bake shop we stumbled upon. Fresh made bread and pastries, and they made me one of the best Vanilla Soy Latte’s I’ve ever had 🥐☕️ I may be underwhelmed by this city, but I adored this business ❤️ . . #ordinarygirlextraordinaryworld #pastry #pastries #croissant #painauchocolat #fresh #freshbaked #coffee #bakeshop #breakfast #smallbusiness #bread #bread🍞 #croissants #explore #austin #austintexas #6thstreetaustin

Sunday Funday with this handsome guy. I’m so lucky; the last 4 months haven’t been easy. Being laid off and having to come together has been a challenge, but he was the BEST partner a gal could ask for. Always supporting me emotionally and encouraging me to make sure my next move was good for me and made me happy. I’m so thankful for him, and love that we’re getting back to our laid back/traveling/loving/laughing ways after weathering the storm together ❤️ . . #ordinarygirlextraordinaryworld #partner #partnerincrime #fiance #fiance💍 #support #supportsystem #bestfriend #bestfriendgoals #bestfriends #bestfriendforever #mylove #handsome

You guys! We are all settled in our new place; as in the boxes are unpacked, but we still have some furniture to buy and art to hang up. BUT, I’m heading to Austin tomorrow AM and I’ll be BACK at the blog with my Austin travel guide when I return. I’m feeling really inspired and after a much needed mental break to work through some things I am ready to get back in action with awesome and fun content. I’ll also be sharing some personal insight to my mental state and why I needed to put self care first, plus how I got my groove and inspiration back. Stayed tuned and keep an eye out for my fun Austin InstaStories! ❤️ . . #ordinarygirlextraordinaryworld #mentalhealth #personalbreak #selfcare #inspiration #iowa #peace #peaceofmind #peace✌ #selflove #mentalbreak #blogger #realtalk

Last night I made this amazing Lemony Fennel, Kale & Radish salad from Kale & Caramel’s cookbook and it was amazing!

Some news... We’re moving! At the end of May we’ll be packing up and heading west to Des Moines where I’ve accepted an offer for a Product Management job! So get ready as I document our journey to sell our house and we hunt for a sweet downtown loft to call home. Also, flights out of DSM are MUCH cheaper since it’s a larger city, sooooo I can’t wait to travel more, and also photograph my new city! 📸✈️🏘 . . #ordinarygirlextraordinaryworld #change #moving #movingon #movingup #movingforward #movingout #movingontobetterthings #takingchances #newcity #movingtoanewplace #desmoines #desmoinesiowa #noregrets #noregret #newbeginnings #newjob #outofmycomfortzone #takingachance #newchallenge #newchapterinlife #newchapter #feltletterboard #feltboard
