Yup. I went there. Let me start off by saying that this was a fun thing to do, as cliche as it might be I think I’ll keep looking for some fun popular recipes to try between the stuff that I come up with. Mistakes were made, but nothing recipe ruining... I saw a recipe… Continue reading Adventures in Cooking: TikTok Pasta

My Top 5 Indulgences I Have No Intention of Giving Up (and a giant F U to the toxic bullshit I see online)
If you write often enough, you also run into moments when you can’t think of what to write... even though you REALLY want to. Chances are you either gave up and came back later, smacked your head until you came up with some idea, or Googled prompts. I just did the later. Only to find… Continue reading My Top 5 Indulgences I Have No Intention of Giving Up (and a giant F U to the toxic bullshit I see online)
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
By Candlelight: Day two
After writing Day one, we realized in a moment of beauty that we still had some hot water left in the tank. It was 11 pm but I rushed into the shower anyway. The water was surprisingly warm, making me both grateful and irked that the water heater is clearly the best and maybe only… Continue reading By Candlelight: Day two

Pants are from Target, a recent buy but… Continue reading #monochromeathome challenge: Grey
By Candlelight: Day one
In the middle of desert on Valentine’s Day, we lost power... and finished our tarts by candlelight. It was romantic and cold. So we put a blanket on the floor by the fire, lit more candles and enjoyed our evening. This morning, waking up buried in blankets, my cat my feet, and Nick building a… Continue reading By Candlelight: Day one
A Valentine Week for the non-traditional, millennial, poor, and quarantined.
Not unlike my complex relationship with Christmas... Valentines comes with it’s own set of complications. I’ve done it nothing, alone, something cool with friends, and something sweet with partners. I think it’s overrated, but can be fun. Last year I planned a neon valentines dance with my students, and it was a blast. This year...… Continue reading A Valentine Week for the non-traditional, millennial, poor, and quarantined.
When I’m not Writing
I get frustrated with myself sometimes, when I realize I haven’t been writing as much. The last month or so has felt that way... but I also recently realized that one of the reasons I go through these fits and spurts is because those weeks or months I’m not writing represent the time that I… Continue reading When I’m not Writing
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
