Hey there, readers! It’s been a year and a half since my last post, so if you don’t remember me, that’s fair. But honestly, how could you forget? Shame on you. The last blog post I drafted was December of 2018 titled “Cold,” so just assume my hiatus was due in part to becoming the … Continue reading A New Blog Post That No One Asked For!
Balloons and Venus Fly Traps
Reader's the time is drawing near. Tomorrow, I will be 26. Yes, I know, I will officially be closer to 30 than 20, a fact I have reminded myself of plenty of times over the past few weeks.

Geese.
Readers, let's talk about Canadian Geese. Specifically how they're so mean and how they. are. everywhere.

Ripped Pants and 5 Hours from Home: The Erin Stevens Story
One month ago, I found myself 5 hours away from my Minneapolis apartment with ripped jeggings. I was just sitting down to have a nice meal with my family when I felt a bit of a draft.
