Hello!

My name is Megs and I have recently gotten bored and self-important enough to start this blog. I’m not sure where this will go but at the very least, it will be a diary for my great, great grandkids to laugh at.

A little bit about me, I’m 27 and about to graduate medical school (crazy, right?) and move across the country for a residency (more training). I have a 9 month old bernedoodle who sometimes forgets that he’s potty trained, and an amazing boyfriend and family. I like to look at my life as a series of messes that I’m either making or cleaning up. And I mean this in the best way possible. I am constantly making a mess in the kitchen with recipe testing, or making a mess of my garage before I attempt to reorganize it. More often though, I am dealing with the mess of my emotions – grief, sorrow, loneliness, joy, anxiety, excitement, and more.

One of my favorite parts of all of this is cleaning up the messes I made. Don’t get me wrong, I do not have the ability to flip a switch and start cleaning on demand. It can take me days or weeks to work up the courage that’s required for me to tackle a big mess. But I do find it quite therapeutic to “clean house” and marie kondo the sh*t out of my living space when the opportunity presents itself.

My goal in this blog is to share some of the messes I make, and some of the ones I clean up. This may look like new recipes, new home improvement projects, new crafting projects, or more!? I also sometimes consider myself a decent story teller, so you’ve been warned.

Love,
Megs
