Confessions

On Being Overwhelmed.

July 20, 2017 By Caroline Peterson Leave a Comment

Generally, I have a lot on my plate. I can usually manage it like a rockstar. I know I take on (and accomplish) more than the standard 9-5 gal. Full-time copywriter, side-gig freelance writer, social media maven, website runner, in real life foot-to-pavement runner and then those international trips thrown in between. I do a […]

5 Reasons Why We Had A Destination Wedding

June 29, 2017 By Caroline Peterson 3 Comments

Not Your Average Gal Destination Wedding - England - Old Wardour Castle - North Cadbury Court

I don’t talk about my wedding a lot. The reason is two-fold, really. For starters, it just inherently sounds bragadocious, any way you cut it. Also, it’s often tough to explain to people why we chose to have a destination wedding. In my experience, you either get it or you don’t. Fun little fact: Last […]

May 29, 2017 By Caroline Peterson Leave a Comment

Want to know how to induce an uber dramatic eye roll from me? By telling me, unsolicited I might add, how much money you make or how big your house is. Gigantic. Earth shattering. Epic. Eye. roll. Engaged. I have little time or respect for people who use their money or buying power to impress […]

On Changing Perspectives…

April 17, 2017 By Caroline Peterson Leave a Comment

Full disclosure: This post will be heavy for a bit, but I promise I’ll sum it up with my usual wit.  I recently had a close friend lose a child. At a loss for words, I struggled to even find the most basic set of reassurances to comfort her in those delicate, first moments of […]

I’ve Had It.

March 12, 2017 By Caroline Peterson 2 Comments

Consider this a rally cry for the gals who are taken for granted. I’m done with: Being disrespected under the guise of a joke. Always being the one to call. Having to organize and plan even the most mundane tasks. Not giving myself enough time in the morning to curl my hair. Taking time out […]
