Howdy! I’m MJ, the gal behind The Modern Eclectic. I’m a recovering perfectionist, aspiring minimalist, queso-addicted dog mom with an infinitely growing range of hobbies and interests and an unquenchable thirst for adventure.
Cooking a meal for loved ones, traveling to a new place, a night out on the town for drinks + live music or a comedy show, hosting friends for game night, hiking + camping in the mountains, cozying up with a cup of tea and a book, a picnic in the park on a nice sunny day… I really do enjoy it all!
I guess you could say, I’m super ~eclectic~. And maybe just a little bit sarcastic ; )
Speaking of a million gazillion interests…
For as long as I can remember, I’ve joked that I am still trying to figure out “what I want to be when I grow up”. But, honestly, I don’t know that I’ll ever be able to narrow it down to just one thing. I’ve been through countless iterations of what I wanted to be, or at least what I thought I wanted to be (more on that later!).
The more I’m exposed to and the more I experience, the more I evolve as a person. Each moment shapes us in some way, shape or form, even if it’s only subconsciously. After all, we are the sum of our experiences. And so “what I want to be when I grow up” is also constantly evolving.
I’m just a girl striving to live a more balanced + intentional life, find a way to meld together my many interests, spread a little good, and share what I learn with you along the way.
But enough about me…
Here I’ll be sharing a little bit of everything – something for everyone. From my favorite recipes, travel tips, and everything in between. My hope in sharing is that you are able to take away something that helps make your life more flavorful, full of adventure, or – heck – even just a little bit easier.
So glad you’re here,
— MJ
