I’m back to the blog after a wonderful (and much needed, if I’m being honest) break and vacation. Time off seems to come when it’s needed the most!
Y’all, I love England. I studied abroad in London my junior year of college, and my family had traveled to London a few years before that. I’d been wanting to go back since my study-abroad and I finally made it happen!
If Chattanooga isn’t on your travel list for 2018, then it needs to be. The New York Times and Lonely Planet even say so! With spring arriving, summer fast approaching and the weather warming up, this is the best time of year to visit the Scenic City.
One of the reasons I love spring and summer in Chattanooga is that there is just so much to do. From special events to sports matches, the farmer’s market to enjoying brunch or dinner outside, it’s just a wonderful time of year in this city.
I’m a whiskey girl, and I love a good Old Fashioned. If you’ve never had one, an Old Fashioned is a classic cocktail made with whiskey, bitters, a sugar cube and orange rind or slice. They’re oddly refreshing and a well-made Old Fashioned is well worth the money (they can be a bit pricey).
But sometimes I wish they were a bit more drinkable, at least in large quantities, like for a party. How do you make a drink more drinkable? I made it into an Old Fashioned Punch!
It’s been a crazy month, y’all. Between launching my podcast, the day job picking up, side projects and whatever else has come up in my life lately, rest and time to myself had become a rarity. I had to remind myself several times that it’s okay to rest and take a break. But alas, it’s been a hot minute since I did a Weekly Sip post, so it’s time for a new one.
If this is your first Weekly Sip experience, check out my vision for the series, and catch up on my previous Weekly Sip posts here!
Sometimes you have to do things you’re scared to do. Sometimes you have to take risks and challenge yourself to try something out of your comfort zone. Or sometimes you have an idea and think, “Yeah, I might could do that.”
Well, that’s part of why I wanted to start a podcast. There’s a little more to it than that. To be honest, I wanted and needed yet another side project, and learning something completely new from scratch seemed like a good idea.
