Last year I wrote about the best Music, Books, Clothes, and Household items of 2020... and while those lists have their place, this year I really wanted to celebrate the moments. There were so many... and ironically most of them, I failed to capture on camera in anyway... because I succeeded in living in them.… Continue reading Best of 2021: Moments

One of those posts about just kinda everything
It’s one of those things... everyone, or almost everyone who gives advice on how to grow your blog or following... how to connect, says to pick a niche. But see, I can’t. I’ve tried... But I just can’t narrow it down. I want to talk about my love of coffee and my new found cooking… Continue reading One of those posts about just kinda everything
Adventures in Cooking: Tofu and the Carry on
*this post is best enjoyed with a glass of wine or some iced coffee, in my personal opinion. .... got it? Ready? Okay, now sit back and lets jump in. Last week I tried to incorporate the complicated, diverse, misunderstood, and often misused Tofu into two dishes. But before we get into the details of… Continue reading Adventures in Cooking: Tofu and the Carry on
The PLAY book
I picked it up on a whirlwind Target trip and was low key thinking and hoping it might be some fun ideas I could use with my kiddos... I ended up both disappointed and pleasantly surprised. (An experience I might add that I hadn’t had very many times in my life up until this last… Continue reading The PLAY book
Grief Dreaming
I write almost everyday. I make a point of writing about social justice and grief often, because they matter... and because they don’t often get the attention and thought they deserve. But also because writing is a way of processing for me... and these are things that take processing. Nick and I have made lots… Continue reading Grief Dreaming
Through Style I’ll…. define not just my wardrobe.
Lifestyle... Style isn’t just about the hopefully timeless, beautiful closet. It’s about confidence, day to day living, and values. It’s a reflection of what you think is beautiful in the world. It’s on your body as you move through every day.... making it a part of every day and an influence on how your body… Continue reading Through Style I’ll…. define not just my wardrobe.
Adventures in Cooking: The Parfait is Literally the Best
Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Dessert... I have quite literally eaten a parfait for every meal known at one point or another in the last month or so. I’ve tried lots of different kinds of granola, yogurts, and flavors. But I have determined the below to be important in my favorites so far. - some added nuts… Continue reading Adventures in Cooking: The Parfait is Literally the Best
An Open Letter to Experienced Grievers…
Yeah, a bit morbid perhaps to think of grief as something one can become experienced in, but I think accurate. But as I start to feel myself tipping into that category, I also find myself frustrated by just how unhelpful my own experience is. Unlike harder jobs, bullying, family struggles, and in some ways even… Continue reading An Open Letter to Experienced Grievers…
Adventures in Cooking: Day two and I already burnt the squash…
Day two menu: Roasted Cayenne and Cardamom Butternut Squash and a Spinach and Feta Ravioli with a Lemon Butter Sauce and chocolate piece for dessert. I felt like the lemon butter would go amazingly with the spinach ravioli, a fun contrast. It did, though I need to perfect the sauce, it needed some herb and… Continue reading Adventures in Cooking: Day two and I already burnt the squash…
Adventures in Cooking: My Recipe Box
Almost 2 years ago now, I started my recipe box. It was out of a desire to feel closer to home after moving so far away... and trying to work on finding things I liked to cook. So far, it’s got very little in it. I was working on it once a month, until my… Continue reading Adventures in Cooking: My Recipe Box
