Let us celebrate.

This morning, I woke up to a pleasant surprise. I got an email from an old high school friend-- Well, really, if I am being honest, she is an old high school friend of my husband's; to me, she was just this incredibly beautiful and cool Senior whom I looked at and admired from afar. Come ...

Could be a whole heck of a lot worse.

Well, it may not be our thwarted big family trip to St. John, but I'm cozy, under a blanket, listening to my main man's music, working on THE NEW WEBSITE and OMG do I have a story for you as my big premiere. I literally could not make this stuff up. Stay warm and stay tuned.

Stay Tuned and Get Pumped! (is what I was going to say.)

Patience, my dear ones. For I am off to a happy place, where I will be celebrating my 8th Engagemaversary in that very same spot. ...is what I had written, yesterday, prepared to publish today, as I would now be off to St. John, via St. Thomas, with my entire family; Parents, siblings, kids... It's funny. Just last week, ...

Kale shakes and I are getting a divorce.

Irreconcilable differences. It has been a disaster from the start. Today, I decided to try again. And I was so proud; I took our picture sharing this smoothie that tastes like tropical fruit and salad and was planning to say something like, "Kale, Take two! Woo!" Oh, look at us. Drinking our superfoods in harmony. But, being home with a ...

Be there and be square.

I made it no secret on here (and in my life) that I was quite nervous about expanding our family. We were a perfect triangle. I remember taking an autumn trip to the beach house with the fairy godparents and sitting on the couch for hours, literally, listing the reasons why I was scared to have another ...

I’m gonna make you fall in love with Brett Dennen

if it's the last thing I do. No, really. He's so awesome. And I can safely say he is my second favorite enormously tall, bespectacled redhead. I just discovered this version of one of my favorite songs--one that we perform in my band--so I thought I'd share the love. [youtube=http://youtu.be/vjVHbI4PacQ] Heart emoji.

“You keep sayin’ you’ve got something for me.”

I guess it's kind of an unspoken rule that when you go to your (fairy) godmother's house, you'll come home with something fabulous. So not only did my daughter get sparkly Elsa Jelly Beans and a book of Frozen stickers, but we got to come home with these bad boys. I just hope that my kid will ...

Some real perspective.

Hello! Broadcasting live from yet ANOTHER sick day at our house, with both kids home, coughing and sneezing. Some folks might get frustrated that their plans (large and small) have to change for another day, so that they may look after their snotty offspring. But oh no. Not here. I feel lucky to be here, still in my pajamas ...

“Trapped in the circumference of my head.”

This is not a happy post. But it is hopeful. And hopeful is the best we can do. *** I love home decorating, especially covering my walls with meaningful pieces, as  511 suggests. But in all honesty, I am not yet in a place in my life where I can collect a lot of real art; I have my ...
