(Your) Kids Say the Darndest Things
I don’t have any kids yet. (Thank goodness.) I love them, and want them someday, but right now I survive primarily off of pasta and granola bars and I recently lost my favorite pair of pants inside my dresser drawer, so it’s safe to I need some time to, you know, grow. When the time… Continue reading

Strain then Stir (Episode 3): How to be Ingredient Conscious (Part 2)
Hello and welcome back to another episode of Strain Then Stir, a no-cameras, diary-esque cooking show blog where I attempt to transform myself from a two-meal Tina into a full course Frank…or at the very least, be capable of feeding myself more than cereal and pasta. It has been quite a while since our last… Continue reading

33 Harmless Things I Hate
Playing off the list I recently made of things that make me happy, my mind started swirling with things that do quite the opposite. It was nothing too intense or traumatic, it was just things that irk me. The things, to put it lightly, I’d just rather not come into contact with in my day… Continue reading

Sometimes Friendship is Gummy Bears
About 3-4 years ago I was going through a period of my life when I genuinely believed I didn’t have very many (see: enough) friends. I considered myself a master of acquaintances, succeeding in keeping most people at arm’s length to ensure that a) I wouldn’t get hurt and b) I wouldn’t disappoint anyone. Some… Continue reading

The Dream About Space (Among Other Things)
If you’ll recall from this post a couple years ago, I tend to have weird dreams. I also like to evaluate those dreams using DreamMoods.com so I can pretend I’m not concerned by the subject matter. That being said, I want to take you on a journey through a dream I had about a month… Continue reading

She made sure to be specific, which I thought was important because it made the list unique to her, and I can only assume made her smile while she was writing it. After reading… Continue reading

My Google Search History
Did you know there is a limit of Internet windows you can have open on your phone? Did you know that it is extremely possible to reach that limit? Well I do, and I have…5 times. The first time was an accident—well actually, every single time has been an accident. I’m just a very curious… Continue reading

The Lavender Milk & Honey Cocoon (Adventures at the Spa: Part 3)
If you’ll recall this post I wrote a couple of years ago, I was…anxious about my first ever massage. But since I survived, and—with some reflection—understood there were in fact benefits, I decided that once I hit my 1000-mile running goal, I’d give massages another go. Before I ever went to a spa, I used… Continue reading

TBTS (Throwback Thursday Stories): Flu Season
In honor of the impending flu season, today I bring you an unpublished blog I wrote a couple years ago when I had fallen victim to its clutches. I had spent days on the couch and was going a little insane and wanted to make myself laugh. I hope you can all escape the snot… Continue reading

Thank You, Dodgers. Thank You, Baseball.
When I was little my grandparents had season tickets to Dodger Stadium. There were four tickets, two for my grandma and grandpa, and then two for the lucky duo they brought with them. Oftentimes I went with my cousin, Spenser, or my sister, Natalee. Other times the tickets were given to my parents and my… Continue reading
