Homemade Frosting photo

I’m kinda mad that y’all didn’t tell me how easy it was to make my own frosting. 5-15 minutes depending on how much I screw up? Ridiculous. Putting aside my white frosting not ever being white, I’ve been very impressed. With myself. Also, with how good my homemade frosting tastes. But I need some help [...]

The American Dream.  Rags-to-riches.  Anyone can “make it” if they just try really hard. But what does it mean to “make it?”  Own a home?  Have a family?  Take a vacation? Perhaps the wealth gap and other inequalities are lost on so many people because when we hear 20% of the country own 80% of [...]

The zits are all mine, and the $50 gift card to drugstore.com could be yours. There are a lot things about growing up that aren’t cool. Like the gray hairs showing up in my early 20s. Or the strange stomach pooch that my OB so proudly gave me post-Cesarean. But I comfort myself with my [...]

Late Enough I Ask Advice Button

Although I haven’t actually been invited to any Labor Day weekend parties so perhaps everyone’s in their pajamas having thoughtful conversations about saving the world.

Late Enough I Ask Advice Button

Not too long ago, I ask what y’all listen to when you are down. I’ve been holding on to music a lot lately. The Green Day Pandora channel has saved me from tears on more afternoons than I can count. For awhile, I wanted to compile all the great songs and bands y’all sent me [...]
