Years and Years of Questions (feat. Answers)
I recently read the book Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston, and while there is a lot I could say about the beauty of author’s writing throughout the story, there was one line that really stuck out to me, and has stayed with me in the months after I finished: “There are Continue reading

Why We Can All Relate to the Gilmore Girls Revival
With the next chapter of Gilmore Girls FINALLY arriving to Netflix this fall, I’ve been very much in the Stars Hollow spirit. I recently got my mom hooked on the early seasons; she’s en route to complete her binge before the 4-episode arch launches at the end of November—which, could there be a better release Continue reading

Words I Made Up (feat. shoxigen)
Being a creative type, sometimes almost to a fault, I tend to like to make stuff up. Whether that be a new craft, a new snack, or most commonly, a new turn of phrase. I love finding my own way to describe things because it’s often the only way my crazy, weird brain can truly Continue reading

Baked Cheeto State of Mind
So first off, let’s just get it out of the way and say that yes, I LOVE Baked Cheetos, but that’s not exactly what I’m here to talk about. I’m not going to go into detail about why crunchy is better than “puffs” and why baked is better than regular or cheese explosion or whatever Continue reading

World’s Largest Roadside Attractions
In my July/August Favorites I made mention of loving the Netflix Original film The Fundamentals of Caring. In it a boy suffering from Duchenne muscular dystrophy, who has made a list of America’s “worst” roadside attractions, gets the opportunity to take a road trip with his caretaker to see a few. Inspired by this list, I researched every Continue reading

The Olympics & the Human Spirit
Even with the Olympics almost a week gone, I’m still finding it difficult to adjust to life without them. For 17 straight days my family had recorded and watched as much Olympic coverage as we possibly could and somehow it still feels like we should have watched more. Nothing really beats the Olympics for me. Continue reading

Me, Myself & My Broom (And How We Solve Problems)
The other day I was moving furniture back and forth around the living room, sweeping up the dust and crumbs the wood floor had collected over the week. It’s my normal Saturday morning routine: wake up, eat a bowl of cereal that is far larger than the recommended serving size, then dive headfirst into a Continue reading

How to Change the World with T-Shirts
I love t-shirts. LOVE. Like if there was a way to calculate how much affection there is in your heart for tangible things, I think t-shirts would have 85% of mine and sweet potato fries and ice cream would have an even share of the other 15. I especially love t-shirts if they serve a Continue reading

Aran (Islands) Aran So Far Away (Ireland Day #4)
I had been nervous about Day 4 since the start solely because a boat was involved. Having a very weak stomach, I’m not one that thrives on the open water, so as I got ready that morning, I took care in breathing in and drugging up (a.k.a the opposite of what D.A.R.E taught me). I Continue reading

A Mouthful of Blarney (Ireland Day #3)
On the morning of Day 3 I started to finally feel like I was caught up in terms of jet lag. I had slept immensely better than the first night and so as we boarded the coach, once again at a sharp 8:15, I was feeling ready for the day ahead. As promised, after Tim Continue reading
