30 Life Lessons I’ve Learned at 30
While I had big plans to forget about my thirtieth birthday with a week and a half in Paris, Miss Rona had other plans. Instead of macarons and museums, I had Milk Bar cake and a movie. TBH though, it was actually pretty nice. After all, I feel fortunate to have been able to even celebrate my birthday this year — even if it was the big 3-0.
10 Lessons I’ve Learned Living with My Partner
Last August, I wrote a blog on Avec David chronicling the ten things to consider before moving in with a significant other. I laugh now, reading, “having a month-and-a-half under our belt…” We were so new to cohabitating. (And compared to some of you, we still are.)

Like, is it Thursday? Is it Monday? And WHAT time is it? I feel like I’m constantly waking up from one of those afternoon naps that you only anticipated being 15 minutes. The one where you immediately think it’s the next day and you’re late for school, work, etc. and it takes…
How To: Easily Understand Boundaries
You may have heard of boundaries; and it’s likely you’ve even had trouble identifying, defining, and/or enforcing them. Truth be told, I’d be willing to bet that the vast majority have had or continue to perpetuate poor boundary hygiene.
