putting the "blah" in "blog" since 2012
Ahhh, remember this post I wrote back when I was such a green traveler? Now that I've been to more than one European country and consider myself to be a much more seasoned explorer of our world, I've got some much more useful travel tips to share. If you are my mom or a follower [...]
Ahhhh, Pinterest. I remember when I first got a Pinterest account, my BFF and I would text each other screen shots of the craft projects we wanted to make (totally made earring hangers out of cheese graters). Then, anytime I'd begin a sentence with "did you see, on Pinterest..." she'd stop me quickly and say [...]
I feel like I should preface this by saying that this is not exactly easy for me to write. It's hard for a person to be vulnerable and put her/himself out there without feeling like a little bit of an asshole, but whatever. I'm doin' it anyway. Something inside of me changed when the new [...]
Last spring, when the flowers started blooming and we, in the Northeast portion of the U.S, started to see Mr. Golden Sun a little more often, I realized just how bad my seasonal depression was. Like a switch had flipped, I suddenly had much more energy, was less lethargic/sluggish/depressed, and my general outlook on life [...]
Fashion, much like art, is at times simply "what you can get away with".... IDK about you, but I am definitely an advocate for wearing pajamas in public places. I've been known to go to the movie theatre in an American Flag print nightgown (worn as a dress, obviously) and I've graced quite a few [...]
Fact: a little bit of an effort to speak the local language will go a long way in a foreign country. I mean, that makes total sense, right? To give you some perspective, imagine you're in your hometown and a stranger comes up to you and starts speaking a language you only kind of understand. [...]
Being a mother, you learn quickly that there are not enough hours in the day. You have kids that you actually have to keep alive! That means, feed them, make sure they use the bathroom (hopefully in the toilet), sleep, stay clean, and learn something in day. That is a whole day in itself. So [...]
Joel and I have this one friend, Ben, who is an actual real life genius. He is a neuroscientist with an IQ of, like, 160 (probably). THE ONLY time I have ever seen Ben stumped or in disbelief was when we were all hanging out around the time of our wedding last year and he [...]
Two weeks ago, my mother-in-law/BFF, Sheila, and I flew to Nashville, TN to attend my beautiful sister-in-law's baby shower. After flying out of a blizzard and straight into a thunderstorm (a plane ride deemed "too bumpy" for us to be served our complimentary Chardonnay) a relaxing 38 hours in a new city was just what [...]
Being a blonde hairstylist with ADHD, I can get bored with my hair really fast! I need change often and change can be expensive and damaging when it comes to your hair! I try as best as I can to take care of it and keep it healthy. Washing it only once a week, and [...]
