Coffee Conversations with a Purple Girl
Good morning, dear friends! I hope all of you had a lovely weekend full of fun adventures and relaxation. We used to enjoy free weekends, now we have all the things again. Every weekend in April holds something and some hold many things that we want to go to and can’t manage all at once. […]
I remember watching the news just to see if there was school tomorrow. I remember scanning the schools as they scrolled across the bottom of the screen, hoping that mine would be there. There’s really nothing like a snow day, especially when you’re a kid and you have a big hill to sled on. It’s […]
Growing up we watched a lot of Christmas specials, but not so many Christmas movies. There is a very clear distinction between the two, you know. A Christmas movie is a full length film with a Christmas theme. A Christmas special is short, made for TV, and often part of something bigger. The Charlie Brown […]
Dear Young Me, You are in high school and things seem complicated. The world is a scary and uncertain place. You don’t know what you want to do. The world has told you your passion isn’t good enough to support you. They’ve told you you can’t make a living writing and you should go to […]
Good morning, friends! My adventure for today will be horse back riding! I have a couple friends who are really into horses and even own a few, so every so often they’ll grab me and we’ll go out and do some riding. This is one such day. Tonight my husband will be off at a […]

On Monday I briefly considered being brief in my post. I thought I’d just make a short little post and move on with my day, but that is never ever the case, ever. Partially because I always seem to have more to say than I intended as part of my rambling nature, and partially because […]
I realize, of course, that the last day of school is probably not the time to be talking about dress codes, but I feel like in these last two weeks I’ve seen more about dress codes than usual and it has gotten me thinking. I listened to a podcast episode about dress codes a while […]
Unlike many people of my generation, I didn’t have a phone until my senior year of high school, late in the year, and he was ancient. A friend gave him to me because she got a new one and just had it lying around and I was like, “Okay, why not?” Little did I know […]
I was really debating on whether or not I was going to do a friends portion of this series. So we’ll see how this goes. My main hesitation is that I can’t possibly give all of my friends equal mention or attention and I don’t want to risk leaving anyone out. It would also take […]
