Pumpkin Mania: I Rate the Pumpkin Items that I Tried in October
October is the month that I really zero into my pumpkin mania. Throughout the month, I typically consume or use at least one pumpkin flavored/scented item DAILY. Is it a little excessive? Absolutely. However, it brings me joy, and that’s all that matters. Every year, I take pleasure in trying new pumpkin items and reporting…
Black in America: A Few Resources for Understanding

Be A Biscuit with Callie’s Hot Little Bucket List!

July 2020 Wrap Up
Hey Ambitious Fam! Long time, no chat (at least on the blog front). One of the things that has really amazed about living through a pandemic is how quickly things can change.

June 2020 Wrap Up
Hey Ambitious Fam! While June was certainly another emotional month, I am thankful for all of the opportunities and growth that came with it. I truly wonder what it is going to be like to look back on this period of history. How will we articulate both the experiences that we’ve all had as a…
