A Love Letter to Road Rage
I’ll be the first to admit I have road rage. I can’t help it. I mean, I could, but then where would I put my anger? I was raised in Southern California, raised a Southern California driver, I need at least a little bit of rage in me to survive out here. Everyone is in Continue reading

The Waiting Room (The Day My Niece was Born)
My mom texted: Third floor, labor and delivery! My sister Natalee’s c-section had been scheduled, and my brother and I had taken the day off work. I was sitting in traffic on the way to the hospital when I got the text, and my brother was in his kitchen making breakfast. We both had plenty Continue reading

This One is for My Grandpa
When I was in elementary school, I remember a lot of summer afternoons when my cousin Spenser and I would spend the day with our grandpa. We could keep ourselves busy by watching television, throwing poker chips into a hat, playing Sequence, or sneaking back to ride the exercise bike we were explicitly told not Continue reading

At Thanksgiving this Year, We Counted to 100
Thanksgiving in my house can be busy. We are a well-oiled machine, but with a lot of people in a small space, it can still get crowded, loud, and chaotic.

But a few days later, Continue reading

On the Morning of the Baby Shower, I Went to War
So there I was. It was just before 7:00 a.m. on the morning of my sister’s baby shower. My hair was in a bun on the top of my head, ready to be washed, my kitchen table was covered in cookies and flower arrangements, and my dress was laid out, ready to be put on. Continue reading

Thursday Faith
Hello there! I wanted to tell you about an exciting new project I’m working on called Thursday Faith. It is a weekly newsletter that will be centered around faith-based content. Growing up, my family almost always went to church on Sundays. That’s what Sundays were all about! Well that and rollups, which is what we Continue reading

Do You Know This Smell?
I’ve been thinking a lot about smells recently, and how interesting it is that we can know and retain and understand so many smells, but the knowledge and memories associated with them are often only triggered when we physically smell them. Trying to describe a smell is like trying to describe a texture. You can Continue reading

Working the Closing Shift
I saw a Tik Tok the other day where a girl described the walk through she does of her apartment each night, calling it the “closing shift”, and I realized I do the exact same thing. Each night, after I turn the television off and start making my way to bed, I walk around my Continue reading
