Write the thing you’ve been waiting all this time for someone else to write. No one else has written it yet, and no one else ever will – because you’re the only one who can. The amazing part is, if you can capture whatever makes you so fascinated by it, you won’t be the only ...
adventures in amtrak-ing
armed with a sack lunch and backpack, i climbed aboard the coaster with a few chaperons and two dozen of my fourth grade classmates en route to san juan capistrano early that spring day. seeing as fourth grade (by far and away my favorite grade from elementary school) curriculum focuses on the work of father ...
punkin pancakes
i have found there to be few things better than the way a kitchen smells while pancakes are cooking in a pan over a hot flame. bacon sizzling in a skillet comes dangerously close, but man oh man, the scent of fluffy pillowy, syrup-drippy pancakes really can't be beat. unfortunately, after i went gluten-free a few years ...
forgiveness isn’t a four-letter word
in the world of self-expression, they say you should write about what you know. which, i mean, makes perfect sense. why would i write about cars or most things associated with water-sports when clearly i'm no expert in those fields? precisely. so much to your chagrin, i write about failed relationships or fashion, or anything having ...
tut, tut
momma and i threw sistah a baby shower on saturday and i must say, we (mostly momma) did a pretty bang up job. we even managed to order in a perfect 72-degrees & sunny weather (that was all God). but pinterest-inspired decor aside, what made the shower so special was that it brought together some ...
suit up
i've spoken a time or two about how fun bathing suit shopping tends to be. as in, the opposite of fun. but summer's here whether the marine layer says so or not. so as the longer days beckon me to the beach, or at least to the pool, i've realized that my bathing suit collection ...
saracen vs. riggins
the way i see it, all men can be categorized into two categories. the matt saracens and the tim riggins. okay, okay, so maybe there are a few jason streets thrown in there for good measure, but for the most part, at the end of the day, it boils down to a choice: matt or ...
what i could tell you
it's 11:52 p.m. and i'm struggling to come up with a cohesive story for tomorrow's post. over the course of my two plus hours in front of the computer (and in front of the tv -multi-tasking at its finest, y'all!), i've checked facebook at least four times, scrolled through nearly every page of sequins & ...
unleash the quiche
being an oatmeal connoisseur for so many years, i was a little nervous about finding a new go-to breakfast that i would foster equal affections for upon entering into the world of paleo. that is until i found a recipe for a three-ingredient crustless quiche in practical paleo. yep, you read that right, THREE ingredients. i mean, part ...
i want crazy
But I don't want good and I don't want good enough I want can't sleep, can't breathe without your love Front porch and one more kiss, it doesn't make sense to anybody else Who cares if you're all I think about, I've searched the world and I know now, It ain't right if you ain't ...
