End of an Era

Leave a Comment / Milestones and Special Occasions / Megan Nelson

For the last couple of weeks, we’ve been taking some time to help my parents remove items from our family lake house. It’s been in the plans for some time now, but this week the house was officially knocked down and they’ll be starting over from scratch. It’s a bit bittersweet. The idea of having […]

Leave a Comment / Milestones and Special Occasions / Megan Nelson

WARNING: I’m about to write another blog post about my dog. 😇 We’ve got a big milestone coming up for my big fur baby. October 8th is Dobby’s “gotcha day” marking five years since I’ve brought this big boy home. It’s also his unofficial birthday since we don’t really know when he was born. We

It’s Harvest Time!

Leave a Comment / Relatable Experiences / Megan Nelson

It’s officially fall and even though the days are still pretty warm, the mornings and nights are cooling off and the sun is sleeping in a little longer every day. But this next week looks like it’s gonna cool off quite a bit and I’m pretty pumped! Fall is my favorite season and I say:

Here\’s to 30!

Leave a Comment / Milestones and Special Occasions / Megan Nelson

It’s birthday weekend and I’m celebrating entering a new decade – here comes 30! Last year, for my 29th birthday I made a list of 30 things I’d like to do before turning 30 and I’d like to revisit that today to see how much I was able to do. Feels like this year went

Join a Run Club!

Leave a Comment / Health and Wellness, Relatable Experiences / Megan Nelson

Earlier this week, I saw this post on social media that more and more people around the country are ditching the dating apps, and they’re joining run clubs to find love instead. At first, it made me chuckle. But then I realized it rang some truth! I didn’t meet Dan at run club, but I

Grow Through What You Go Through

Leave a Comment / Relatable Experiences / Megan Nelson

Those memories that pop up on Facebook from what happened on this day so many years ago, can be incredibly wonderful in so many ways. I love looking back on them and seeing what past Megan was up to. Sometimes, however, some of those memories fill me with a lot of other emotions. All week,

New Recipe! BBQ Chicken Potato Skillet

Leave a Comment / Miscellaneous / Megan Nelson

It’s been a hot minute since I’ve shared a recipe on here, so I thought it would be a good time to do another one! This one I got from the “Cooking in the Midwest” Instagram page. Which is honestly where I’ve gotten most of the recipes I’ve shared. 😇 If you haven’t checked it

Keep Getting Back Up

Leave a Comment / Health and Wellness, Relatable Experiences / Megan Nelson

I want to share something funny that happened to me this week – maybe not so funny in the moment, but if you can’t laugh at yourself every once in a while, what’s the point in living, right!? So, Thursday I went for a run early in the morning. So early it was still plenty

Adopt a Shelter Dog

Leave a Comment / Miscellaneous / Megan Nelson

I’ve seen a lot on social media the past few weeks about high numbers of dog surrenders and full shelters, and I wanted to take some time to once again tell you why you should adopt a pet. I’m sure you all know very well at this point about my rescue dog, Dobby. I haven’t

The dust finally feels like it\’s starting to settle after the wedding. Most of the thank you\’s have now been sent. We have our house cleaned up and everything put away. My last name has officially been legally changed to Nelson. I\’m still in a little bit of denial that it is over already, but
