I believe we’ve talked a bit, about how I’m not much of a cook. What I am good at is research. I’ve scoured the internet for food blogs, recipe websites, tips and tricks, and I’m making myself better through research. My favorite source is still my mom, but that will never change. I used to [...]

Thirty Days Hath September

I’m a girl on a budget. The budget is tight, very tight. I’ve learned to manage, but there’s not a lot of room for error. Last week I ended up driving a bit more than expected. Run out to Richfield to pick up a library book (where were you, Lisa?), drive to Maplewood (North) to [...]

I swear, Kelly’s heart leaped a little just reading that title. Here’s why. (Of course, being me, I have to tell the WHOLE detailed story). As many of you know, Kelly and I are childhood friends. That friendship was long rooted in a equal love of New Kids on the Block. We loved them with [...]

When I drive to work in the morning, I take surface streets. I’m used to commuting via the interstate, so it gets tedious, at times, to sit through stoplights. Of course, I’m pretty much always running late, so that factors in as well. Given the number of stoplights on my route (six) you’d think I’d [...]
A Year’s Difference

Last year, during her first year of life I took pictures of Arionna every month. Most just happened during daily life. For her 11 month shoot, I decided to make it special and took her to the Conservatory. There is something about that place that all pictures seem to turn out well. I was [...]
She Loves Tom Brady, Too!

video a video by okmoris on Flickr. It must run in the family, hmm? This is an adorable video of her singing the Barney song. I love that she’s playing with my Tom Brady doll (of course I have a Tom Brady doll, who doesn’t?) and singing to him. I have to be sly, if [...]
Goodness Gracious Great Balls of Fire

How’s this for a weird story? (Though I’m guessing you expected something a little odd after that title–though, who knows? I do odd titles often). Last Friday night. Hold on, it might have been Saturday. Okay, I just checked my email. It was Saturday. Yikes. Saturday night, I picked up Mindy at her house and [...]

Conway Christmas, 2012 edition.

Just so we’re clear, we will be discussing Christmas with my mother’s side of the family. Not with this guy: Are we all on the same page now? Good. So, Conway Christmas has become a tradition (can 2 in a row be a tradition?) and this year my sister hosted. For the inaugural edition, click [...]
Rewind. Repeat. Relive.

If you had the chance, would you do it over again? Anything? It’s hard to decide, because, logically, if you go back and change one part, you’re changing everything that comes after. You’d not come back to this place and time, you’d be living a different life. Theoretically, I suppose your choices could bring you [...]
