• One Year Married: Best Dining Experiences

The list has continued onward into our marriage, and when we were rehashing the “Best of” shortly after the new year, we consulted the list and chose our favorite dining experiences, categorically. As a tribute to…

• Joyful Resurrected: Reasons for Gratitude on My 32nd Birthday

  

  In 2017 I undertook a project called The Joyfulness Project in which I blogged every day, for an entire year, my moments of gratitude. It’s been a while since I’ve taken the time to pen down my joyful moments, but last week was so full of joy that I need to spend a moment to…

• My Top 14 of 2014, and a side of fruit

  Ten Confessions   1) I keep hearing pitter-pattering above my head, and I’m hoping it’s squirrels on the roof and not a family of mice inside the ceiling (this is not a “confession” as much as a current event.)   2) I went to Barnes and Noble today with the intention of buying gifts for…

• Caffeine + Dessert > (and/or better than) Sleep + Carbs

  I’m seeing if I can beat the clock for this post because I have ELEVEN minutes before my computer restarts for automatic updates, WHICH, by the way, I’m highly curious why this is the third time in two days it’s doing this. Really?? I think it’s just to annoy me. I have two observations to…
