what to do now
With the inauguration looming just around the corner, it’s hard not to feel frightened (or in my case, just plain horrified) by what’s going on in the USA right now. Whether you’re a citizen or not, we are all going to be affected by these changes. The biggest problem I have is how powerless I […]

friday favorites
Hello and happy Friday! I hope you all had a painless week 🙂 Mine has been significantly more fun thanks to a new addition to our family (see my last favorite, below). I’m keeping this short and sweet as I’m getting ready to go see Conrad’s other band, The Seen and the Unseen, play in […]

nyc snapshots
Last November, Conrad and I spent a long weekend in New York. We stayed with my brother-in-law and his wife, who live in a gorgeous apartment on the Upper West Side, and had a lovely (if too short!) visit in the Big Apple. Both C and I have been to NYC before, so this trip […]

2017…a fresh start
Are you all sick of those ‘New Year, New Life” posts (that are so popular every January) yet? Well, let’s hope not, because here’s one more! Let’s be honest: on the whole, 2016 sucked.

It’s physical form may change from decade to decade (skinny, straight, boot-cut; bedazzled, ripped, bleached; dresses, […]

on being nosy…
I will be the first to admit that I am super nosy. I love exploring how other people live, what their personal relationships are like, what they do at work, what they pay for rent, what they eat for breakfast, etc., etc. I like to think that this curiosity for others’ lives comes from some […]

lately
So, I know I said I was ‘back’ on the blog but…well…umm…I got too busy. Terrible excuse, but really true. Starting a new job is hard! I knew that it would take me a little while to find the extra brain-space for the blog, but I didn’t anticipate how long it would actually take. Come […]

friday favorites and an update!
I‘m back!!! I’m so sorry for my unexpected absence the last month. Besides the chill in the air and the changing of the leaves, October also seemed to bring a number of big life changes that completely threw me off course for a few weeks. All good things (like our adorable new niece!), but somewhat […]
