Always, Megs

Yepp, you know what that means, it's Friday!  Which for me means that my best friend in the entire world is getting married tomorrow! I can't believe that after 16 years, so many slumber parties, late night talks and phone calls, tears and condolence, long distance visits, dress fittings, arrangements, bridal showers, bachelorette parties and so many talks over sushi this day is...

is Missy Higgins newest album, entitled, The Ol' Razzle Dazzle! I have been a fan of Ms. Higgins since I discovered her my freshman year of high school. Her music and lyrics touch me in a way that I seldom find in today's neverending rap albums and country pop stars. She sings from the heart. She has soul. And she writes loving and...

Am I the only one on the internet that hasn't heard of the Air B&B site? How did I not know that this wonderfulness existed? It's like a combination of homeaway, and couchsurfing! Seriously, guys this just made my night. I'm pretty sure this is going to be my way of travelling for the next 10(+) years (until I become a billionaire of...

...is good. This weekend we celebrated my best friend's upcoming nuptials with a trip to Capitola, CA for her bachelorette party. We sat outside on the water and had margaritas, went shopping, and layed out on the beach. She even wore the 'bride to be' tiara that I got her all day, and I didn't think she would since she doesn't really like...

This weekend includes hanging out with my mama, running away to the beach for a fabulous bachelorette party for my bff (8 days 'til the wedding!), drinking copious amounts of coffee, and doing my laundry from this week. All in all, I can't wait. What are you guys up to this weekend? Any great plans or trips in your near future? Enjoy you...

When did I miss the memo about people being un-cool about women breast feeding in public? I had no idea people even thought that was a taboo. It's normal.

I can't say how I will raise my children in the future. Things come up, and I'm sure I'll improv a lot as I go (sort of like life). However, there's a couple things that I won't compromise on; having a home birth, always taking my kids on vacations, and not letting them have prolonged media exposure before they are two years old...

Do you ever feel as if when you stay in one place, do the same things every day, see the same people...that you lose site of who you are and what your original goals were? That's why I love travelling so much. It opens me up to so many new ideas. I learn different ways to do things, meet new people that challenge...

Just kidding, sorta ;) I hope everyone has a wonderful Father's Day, and get's to share this special day with that special dad (or father-figure) in their lives! I was blessed to be raised by a father who is always there to support me, and give the best advice without bias. I couldn't ask for a better listener or a better friend. Thank...

Yes, on Friday's I become country. What you are lovely dears up to this weekend? Mine includes hanging out with my beautiful cousin and catching the 'Rock of Ages' flick (we're big musical freaks), trying to stay cool (it's going to get to at least 105 this weekend), going with my girls for our final bridesmaids dress fitting (June 30th is getting so...

Have you heard about the upcoming documentary about Ina May & The Farm? As a big advocate for home/natural births I am thrilled to see this movie raising money and awareness, and hopefully pushing it's way into the LA Film Festival. It's one that I will undoubtedly see and I hope more and more people will become aware that commonplace hospital protocol for...

This lovely young girl, is only 12... 12! This is an incredible performance, reminiscent of someone twice her age. She is such a strong, technical dancer for someone so young, and this made me miss teaching and choreographing more than I can say. TOKYO tends to re-use a lot of his choreography, which gripes me, but this performance was too brilliant not to share....

It's going to be so magical when I have my first child, I know I'll be in sheer disbelief at the wonder of it all, but for some reason, this moment touches me so much. The moment when the older sibling meets the younger. Such joy & wonder are always present on their young faces. I simply cannot wait for that moment when...

The title of my blog is a key theme (and quote) used throughout my favorite novel, The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffeneger. It is originally from the poem To His Coy Mistress by Andrew Marvell.  This quote really resonated with me because since I was a child, I felt that time was running through my fingertips. I remember crying because, and i quote,...

Five things that make me extremely happy: Running into my boyfriend's arms after being apart from him. Curling up on the couch with a book on a long afternoon. The smell of newborns. Drinking hot cocoa on Christmas Eve. Getting an old-fashioned hand written letter in the mail. There's my list followers? Anyone want to share things that make you happy? ...

guilty pleasure shows. I don't actually have a lot of them. I love TV, but I don't count Mad Men, and Game of Thrones as guilty pleasure shows. However, as of late, I have become obsessed with Dance Moms. Yes, I know, 'how can you watch those catty moms yell at each other?' Let me just say I have been in the dance world...

I have been ransacked with baby fever! I am in no way ready to be a mother, but I can't wait to hold my future baby closer and smother him/her with love and kisses. Many of the blogs I follower (including the lovely Bekah pictured above) are mothers and share birth stories, baby photos, and motherhood stories. I can't wait to share my...

Sure, I love blogging away my hours on tumblr, but that contains mostly pictures and pieces that inspire me. Here I would like to share more about myself and my life through words...
