Hi, I’m Natalie!
I’m a tall girl from Wisconsin and started this blog while living in Rhode Island 15 years ago (now that makes me feel old!). After a year, I relocated to New Jersey and—after much internal blog-naming turmoil and discovering that I actually lived in the 4th smallest state—decided to keep the name (because my tall-self and I became very attached to it). Now, I’m in Massachusetts and the name will live on because…fun fact time: it’s the 7th smallest state.
What else about me?
- I have scoliosis and had a spinal fusion to correct it when I was in high school. My scars make me really proud and I have zero fear of open-back dresses (bring ’em on)!
- Running is a big hobby of mine and it’s something that I find immensely enjoyble and challenging (plus, I get to do it all with my amazing husband).
- We welcomed our first daughter into the world in October of 2023 and love seeing her learn and grow and be her happy little independent self every day.
- I just graduated from the Columbia Journalism School this year.
- I’m an avid supporter of all Wisconsin sports. Go Pack Go! Bucks in Six! This is My Crew!
- I love to cook and try new recipes, though I’m a big ad-libber and improviser which is why I rarely bake.
