it should go without saying that i hit the family lottery. i mean, we're not the bravermans, but we come pretty darn close. over the years, my family has certainly grown and changed and metamorphosized into the makeup that it is today but i am especially thankful for its evolution. we may not be your ...
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 ...
a holiday hiatus
hi. have you missed me? i know, i've missed me, too. just kidding. seriously though, it's been a whole week since i've contributed to the blogosphere and i must admit, it's been a bit strange. but peculiarity aside, i feel as though it was very necessary for me to "un-plug" for a bit. while i love y'all, i also ...
a christmas gram (what’s a christmas gram?)
i've made it no secret in the past where my holiday allegiances lie. (and for those who need a refresher, here's a hint, my favorite one involves food and football and family and one time it involved pilgrims and native americans, too). so when it comes to christmas, while i love it with the type ...
she must be the milkman’s
on a sunday a few weeks back, my family and i attempted to take a photo for this year's christmas card. so donned in our holiday-inspired plaid and armed with our trusty tri-pod, we headed over to leo carrillo ranch for a little hamming, posing, and of course, smizing in front of the camera. turns out ...
four score and a holiday i adore
did you think i would just skip right over the thanksgiving day holiday without so much as a recap? never. and while i was remiss in instagramming a shot of my holiday feast (maybe because my "feast" wouldn't have fit in just one shot, two platefuls of sides and two helpings of dessert later, i was ...
the braverman bond
i'm not sure how i'm so caught off guard every tuesday around 10 p.m. when tears start steadily streaming down my face. like i'm all of a sudden surprised that this show, this beloved show about family and life and where the two intersect, is the direct cause of my eye-watering. because if i've realized anything ...
“i’m melting” and other things uttered this weekend
i mean, i am well aware of the fact that i'm a pretty big wimp when it comes to hot weather. first of all, i'm so pale that i'm practically see-through, so there's that whole, "put me in the sun for more than 2.5 and for my next trick, i'll spontaneously turn into a lobster" ...
when in doubt, go with the weirdest
i like to think i give pretty good advice. and like most useful counsel, it usually stems from first-hand experience. and if you don't believe me, maybe a recount of how i spent my saturday evening would provide evidentiary support? k, cool. balderdash. this word can be described as one (or more) of the following: a) fun ...
