THE OPTIMISTIC DUKE

LIVING A LIFE FUELED BY COFFEE AND BABY SNUGGLES

About Me

Hi! I’m Trish. I’m a 31 year old living in South Dakota. I have 3 sweet boys: Duke, Theodore, and Grayson, and a wonderful husband, Dennis. We started our little family in Colorado before moving to South Dakota to live the ultimate small town life. We love to travel, eat delicious food, watch movies, and spend quality time with family and friends. I am addicted to coffee. It’s probably a problem but it brings me so much joy, I just can’t quit. A weekend away with girlfriends or an afternoon all to myself to read books and sit in a coffee shop are two of my favorite ways to recharge. I work full time for a nonprofit and I love it. We live a busy, wonderfully full life, and even during the hardest moments, we remain optimistic. Life is hard and beautiful, challenging and invigorating, and we’re here for it!

Easter 2019

I am so happy you stopped by my blog. I hope you’ll grab a cup of coffee or a glass of wine {it’s most certainly 5 o’clock somewhere} and stay for a bit. I love to write and if my words hit home for someone else, it makes it so much sweeter.
