Summer is here, as evident by the flowers blooming outside my apartment. It’s a constant reminder that I need to spend more time outdoors. Two new favorite alcohol finds. On the left, a whiskey...
You know when you’re at work and you spend the whole time thinking about how much stuff you could get done if you didn’t have a job? Like, you think you would totally get up and go to the...
This song is my official summer anthem. It also makes me want to high-tail it back to the South in ways I can’t even describe. It took me three days to get through this book and that was mostly...
I had totally planned on my first post back from vacation to be filled with beautiful photos of sandy beaches, tropical drinks and plates of fried seafood. However, we spent most of our time passed o...
You guys, I am writing from Galveston, Texas from a trip that first began with me and Chase flying from Los Angeles to Kansas to see my sister-in-law graduate college (go K-State!). Side note: did yo...
A sneak peak of my next recipe, which tasted a lot better than I expected, so I’m pretty pumped to show it to you. A hint – there aren’t many other ingredients then what you see her...
I really wish this gumbo was prettier. If this dish was a person, it’d be the kind you would describe to someone as having “a really great personality” when you tried to convince th...
Chase and I took off this past weekend on a trip to Seattle. We had no agenda, no overall purpose for being there. I want all of my vacations to be this way, where we just have the freedom to explore...
A few things: 1) Thank you to everyone that left a comment or email offering your support and condolences. It means a lot. If it I didn’t respond, please take it as evidence of my debilitating ...
I wrote this post a few weeks ago, and then immediately put off publishing it. However, today is my mother’s birthday, and it seems somehow an appropriate time to finally put this out there. Ha...
There has been an interesting development in my home the last few weeks: Chase has become a fan of carrot juice. And not just any old fan, he’s become the “I can go through a 5-lb bag of ...
UPDATE: I wrote this post a few hours ago, right before my site went down. That sort of killed the humor for me, but hopefully you all will enjoy: I logged on to my Google reader today and was like, ...
You all remember the book “Alexander and the Terrible Horrible, No-Good, Very Bad Day” right? I got smacked in the face by one of those this weekend. And the thing about these terrible da...
Let’s pretend for a second that the egg salad sandwich is the star of its own movie (please, go with me on this). It would enter the film as a sweet but rather plain girl who always takes a bac...
A few fun photos from the past couple of days: We were blessed with plenty of sunshine, friends, food, mimosas and colored eggs. I sincerely hope all of your weekends were just as much fun
This amazing cuff I found at the bottom of a sale bin at Francesca’s while I was picking up some new tights. Truthfully, I never wear things on my wrist, not even a watch, but this was too pret...
Writing a blog is so often an exercise in wrestling with one’s own limitations. There are some limitations that can be easily fixed – spell check was invented for a reason, after all. The...
You all remember my Aunt Sara, right? You know, the one that left me this voicemail last year? I thought she had learned her lesson about leaving me incriminating messages, so you can imagine my surp...
Please note: if you haven’t read “Hunger Games” this post is going to make absolutely no sense and you should probably just come back later. Or you should get your ass over t...
Until I moved to California I had never actually eaten a tamale. Now, I am hopelessly addicted, but I’m getting a little tired of eating the usual chile & cheese that they have at the farme...
Ohh. Emm. Gee. As I write this sentence, I am currently winning my office’s NCAA bracket pool. And I know NOTHING about basketball. Except that UNC Chapel Hill is the BEST, am I right? What? Y...
Given my post from yesterday, there will probably never be a more appropriate time to share this. Enjoy!
Now that I’m a grown and semi-mature adult, I’m starting to realize what a strange child I was. I’m writing down some of these memories mainly so that my children will know it runs ...
Say it with me now: en-FREE-hoe-lah-dahs. I’m not gonna lie, this recipe has been on my list for a while and I really dragged my feet to make it. Then I really dragged my feet even more to post...
Yesterday morning Chase woke up before me, got out of bed and left the bedroom. He didn’t say good morning or give me a kiss. He didn’t linger to cuddle like we normally do on a weekend. ...
On Valentines’ day I stumbled upon this, which is the first video that I became obsessed with on the internet. (I almost typed that I found it on YouTube, but this is WAY before that. My future...
Can I be honest for a second? I hate grilled vegetable sandwiches. Partly because it is the token vegetarian option on every lunch menu, and mostly because there is nothing appealing to me about a ra...
Bookshelf - Before If you’re like me, you have a book shelf that looks like this. It’s a total mess – books are thrown on there haphazardly and some aren’t even books to begi...
Today it is cloudy and drizzly in Los Angeles. Days like this are few and far between here in Southern CA and so when they do show up the desire to stay home in my pajamas and fuzzy socks is almost o...
I needed a little dose of inspiration this week. If you were hoping for sarcasm please try back soon. 1) I went against a lot of advice in order to A) go to an art’s school for college and B) m...
