scavenger hunts and irish soda bread
march 23, 2023 fayetteville, arkansas If you’ve known me the last 5 years or so, you know I’m a relentless dreamer. There’s nearly never a time when I’m not thinking about possibilities or dreaming of exploring new places and collecting experiences. I’ve got the spirit of a wanderer.

All my single ladies, putcha hands up. I have been wanting to write on this topic for over a year now, no joke. Remember that list of blog topics I mentioned in my last post? Well, this one was in my top three. I’ve just been too nervous/didn’t know how to put my thoughts into…
