[spotify track=”spotify:track:4MyFSB0Fmo9VcYPHNCNI3R”] I’ve had this blog post planned for a month now… ever since I did the math and figured out it was my job to post on Halloween. In years past, my contempt for Halloween costumes that were billed… Continue Reading
I am a super-feminist. Women can do anything and everything they set their minds to– and don’t even try to stop them. We can run countries/businesses, create life, and go to space. Ladies have come so far– although a lot of… Continue Reading
Imma gonna give you a great, easy dessert recipe… but first I want to give Coralie a birthday shout-out! Her b-day falls on Sunday this year and (since we don’t publish on Sunday) I wanted to get this out there before… Continue Reading
A lot of people love ’em, but I can’t do smoothies or protein shakes in lieu of meals. I like to eat my calories. The liquid options don’t satiate my hunger; they just pass right through me. I just find that… Continue Reading

Now that I am at the tail end of unpacking, I have discovered that I have a lot of items that were super appropriate in Chicago… but will not serve me well in Southern California… like snow boots, for example.… Continue Reading
This summer flew by! Coralie and I made several playlists over the summer but never had the time to put pen to “paper” to give them a playlist explanation. Some of these songs are blatant summer songs, but now that… Continue Reading
I like to play what I call, “The Weather Game.” What is that you ask? If you have a smart phone, then it might be something you play, as well. When I wake up each morning, after checking my email,… Continue Reading

Now that all of my crafting supplies have been unpacked, FINALLY, the crafting can resume! Rejoice! One of the projects I wanted to tackle first was to recover one of our living room lampshades. The lamp/shade was purchased at Target when we… Continue Reading
I don’t know how you do it, but we grocery shop once a week (picking up forgotten items when necessary). Jojo and I plan our menu for the week, make a list, and then go for it. We have our… Continue Reading
I couldn’t write today’s post without acknowledging how moved I was by the outpouring of love regarding Coralie’s post yesterday. Our readers really are the best, and I just wanted you guys to know how much it is/was appreciated. I’m sure… Continue Reading
In todays age of social media, people can vent their opinions everywhere– whether you like it, or not. You can pan the book you read on Goodreads. You can complain about the inferior quality of the headphones you ordered from Amazon.… Continue Reading
Soap. Water. Elbow grease. These are all the things you need to do dishes, right? Not in my book! As I mentioned on Tuesday, I h-a-t-e hate doing dishes. But, do you know what I hate more? Dishes that are… Continue Reading
I’ve talked before about my complex relationship with doing dishes. It is one of those chores, like doing laundry, that is never ending; even if you clean all of them, there will still be more tomorrow. To lessen my “begrudge-ness,”… Continue Reading
OoooooOOOOOOOOoooooo. Friday the 13th! Whatever that means for you, I hope you aren’t afraid of more fun photos! This installment of photos is broken up into four sections: fun photos taken at the grocery store, ‘my neighborhood is awesome’ fun… Continue Reading
Iceberg lettuce. Blue Cheese Dressing. Onions. Cheddar Cheese. Diced tomato. Bacon bits. Crumbly crackers. Growing up, this was pretty much what I thought salad was; bland vegetables swimming in a sea of white that was there to mask the fact… Continue Reading
Moving to another city is hard. Especially if it’s on the other side of the country. 99.9% of the time, I’m super glad to have moved to California. But, there is that 0.01% of the time when I get a little sad… Continue Reading
I wish this post were as exciting as the title… but, to me, it is. One of the fun things about moving to a new place is figuring out where everything should go and how to make it the most… Continue Reading
