Hello and welcome to List-cember! My own version of a year end roundup series, where all the posts are lists.

A Thanksgiving at Our House
My parents’ T-shaped kitchen counter has two bar stools sidled up to it, and on Thanksgiving they offer VIP seating to the organized chaos of the cooks. They also give perhaps too much access to the assortment of chips, salsa, and M&M’s set out to help bridge the gap between breakfast and Thanksgiving dinner, and Continue reading

200 Day Time Capsule Blog #12

Cut, Drive, Be a Beginner
I learned to drive in a few different cars, one of which being a red truck. I got my license on the later side (by non-big city standards) and was extremely nervous to get behind the wheel. I felt like a snail trying to make its way down the sidewalk, with big stomping feet narrowly Continue reading

I’m 34!
Last year I wrote this post about my birthday and I thought I would pop in today with a similar sentiment. A book I read recently described birthdays as “not a day to celebrate progress…[but] a day to celebrate existence.” And I thought, yes! That is exactly how I feel. Because what a treat to Continue reading

Don’t Let Anyone Crush Your Wonder
There are so many parts of life that amaze me. Silly parts, little parts, seemingly insignificant parts that I wish I could hold above my head and scream, “Can you BELIEVE this?!” It is a quality I really like about myself, and one that keeps me contently daydreaming. It makes me an avid Googler, constantly Continue reading
