This is the time of year when I inevitably find myself awash in cliches of fitness and organization and self-discovery. I’m sure that for some people it is reassuring to embrace the “new me” fresh start that a new year can offer, but I see things just a little differently. This year my resolution (for…

‘Tis the season for spending, and all that jazz. If you’re looking for a handmade gift or even perhaps something snazzy for yourself, my charming and multi-talented sister has opened her very own shop on Etsy, called Seasonal Decor. She has ornaments, candle holders, jewelry, and more, with new items added regularly. In addition to…

I’m not talking about that boisterous redhead of days past (although she is quite lovable), but rather my new guinea pig! She tugged at my heart strings at the pet store, and over the past three weeks she has settled in quite nicely in the corner of my room. She enjoys squealing, running in circles,…

In a strange turn of events, Laura and Ryan now live around the corner from me (quite literally actually) and we have decided to celebrate this happy coincidence by resurrecting Survivor night. Laura does most…

In my humble opinion, these are some f-ing awesome commercials for the Powermat. In addition to demonstrating the versatility of the English language, they fairly accurately portray the awe and wonder that accompany wireless technology. These commercials make me want to run down my batteries just so I can watch stuff charge.

Here is a collection of awesome stuff that now belongs to me. I am one lucky duck. They make gummy vitamins for grown-ups! I am in love with science. This is an owl. Not a real owl, a jewelry owl. I had one of these when I was a kid! It makes your hand all…

Here is a collection of some amazing moments captured around and about Cara and Michael‘s home. One of my favorite elements of this journey (aside from seeing my pals again) was how peaceful their property is. They have 5 acres in the woods full of natural beauty, with a lovely pond in the back deck…

A friend sent this to me a few days ago, but I didn’t have the time to sit down and watch it until just now. It feels odd to say this about a YouTube video, but I was deeply moved. I just want to run out into the world and create something.
