Does the vague name make it sound more edgy?

The Drive-Thru Fair
“Here’s a map, have a great time.” My best friend Allison and I pulled into the parking lot at the Rose Bowl and then immediately pulled over to take a look at the 11”x17” paper map we’d just been handed with no follow-up directions. I’d heard about the “Fair Foodie Fest” in passing online, and… Continue reading

It Had Been a While
I’ve been to quite a few weddings. I’ve also been in quite a few weddings. And while they are all unique in their own wonderful ways, they are also very similar—running through the same routines, the same schedule of events and the same (at least in my case) excited yet patient wait at your table… Continue reading

Take a Step Back
To kick off the new year, my church participated in a 21 day fast. In lieu of certain food groups, I opted to delete social media from my phone, as I felt that it was one thing stealing more of my attention than necessary. And while I expected a bit of habitual reaching for my… Continue reading

I thought about… Continue reading

My mom and sister had been going for years, forever trying to convince me that you would not in fact die on the… Continue reading

In Case You’re Looking for a New Thanksgiving Staple
When I was little, my maternal grandparents used to host Thanksgiving every year. And just like any other holiday, I would arrive looking for a few key staples: the stuffing, the mashed potatoes, the pre-meal black olives that I would place on my fingers and pretend I got a manicure, and the cheese filled celery… Continue reading

The Solvang Postcard
In the fall of my senior year of college—which as I type this I realize was nine years ago, YIKES—I studied abroad in Australia. While there, one of my absolute favorite things was to write and receive letters from friends and family back home. I love mail in general, but being a whole continent away… Continue reading

This Post Was Brought to You By Amy Grant
The living room is empty. My dad is at work and my mom is in the other room, maybe cleaning or reading or talking on the phone. I am eight years old, and I am in the mood to dance. I sift through the CDs on the shelf, press the power button on the stereo,… Continue reading

I Need to Get New Running Shoes
I am just about ready to retire my running shoes, but just like an old pair of jeans or a sweatshirt that is broken in just right, they are making it hard for me to officially let them go. I am someone who, when I find something—especially shoes—that fit me just right, I will only… Continue reading
