Who even writes a blog about blogging? I guess I do. A few weeks ago, I went and saw the new Little Women. This blog is not a review of the movie. Suffice it to say that I thought it was beautiful. There are a few critical things I didn’t like about it, but that’s […]

On 2 and 1/3 years of home ownership: why you should do things right the first time
So many people ask me about my house all the time! My casa is anxious to tell you, so here’s your update. I did change up a few things here and there in my decor. I got a new rug and bookshelves for my front room, and I’m super happy about those. I framed some […]

One Year of Home Ownership

Disney Band-Aids and Vulnerability
Every blog needs a poorly lighted picture. I pinched my finger last weekend when I was helping a friend move. With pliers. It was a silly mistake, really. I was just trying to remove a bolt so we could disassemble a digital piano and get it moved out of the house. Of course, I […]
Mercy, Miracles, and a Cafeteria
About three years ago, I had what I thought to be a brilliant idea. I wanted a forum for anyone in the world to share gratitude to others who had been Good Samaritans in their lives, whether anonymously or knowingly. I wanted to highlight moments of gratitude, mercy, and miracles. My motto would be a […]
Ten Things Mommy Blogs Taught Me to Worry About: Newborn Edition
So I’m pretty well aware that I’m not a mom yet. But I am very aware I’m addicted to mommy blogs. Let’s not say addicted; that sounds bad. Let’s say, “I am a hugely ridiculous fan of reading [mommy blogs].” They can be written by mothers I know and mothers I don’t know. For me, […]
