If You’re Going to Post, Post What’s True
As a creature of habit, my routine in the morning is almost identical every single day of the workweek. Among pressing snooze a few times, listening to a podcast, and making a (usually empty) promise to myself that we’ll nap later, checking Timehop—an app that connects to your social media accounts and shows you posts… Continue reading

30 Good Things that Happened in April (2018)
Hello and welcome back to another edition of All the Good Things, a monthly series where I highlight all the good things (get it?) that happen in each 30-day (or so) span. I hope it can be a reminder that amongst all the well known bad, there is a lot of undercover good happening in our world. Let’s dive… Continue reading

You Keep Following Your Dreams & I’ll Keep Following Mine
In August of 2016, me, my sister, and my best friend Allison (except I spell it Alleeson because of a whole Kimberlee double-e solidarity thing) went to dinner at Islands. As we sat laboring over which hamburger to choose from the menu, Alleeson put her hands on the table and took a deep breath. “I… Continue reading

Some Thoughts on Hug Protocol
I like hugs, I really do, but I’m also very confused by them. See, I understand there are times when it’s obvious to hug and times when it’s obvious not to hug. But then there’s all this middle ground that is hard to read and makes my stomach hurt. Take for example the “to hug”… Continue reading

(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

You Won’t Win Unless You’re Willing to Lose
In October of 2017, as he was training for the 2018 Winter Olympics, Shaun White had a horrible crash that resulted in 62 stitches in his face. In an interview a few months later, he was asked whether the crash gave him doubts about his ability or willingness to continue, especially in pursuit of a… Continue reading

It’s Always Sunny in Seattle & Canada (At Least When We’re There): Spring Break Day 5&6
Day 5 I’d like to consider me, Natalee and Mel pretty similar. For example, when we come across a highly recommended restaurant online and its menu includes things like “homemade biscuits” and “chocolate fudge waffles,” we’ll all agree it is a must taste. That being said, it wasn’t really a question whether we’d wait out the… Continue reading

It’s Always Sunny in Seattle & Canada (At Least When We’re There): Spring Break Day 4
Tuesday morning had a bittersweet taste to it. We were sad to leave Seattle, but we were excited for part 2 of our adventure: Vancouver! Around 10:00 a.m. we made our way to the airport to return our rental car and rent a second one that would take us across the border. About two hours… Continue reading

It’s Always Sunny in Seattle & Canada (At Least When We’re There): Spring Break Day 3
With the three of us being Southern California natives, it became a daily ritual to check the weather each morning in Seattle. Was it going to be raining? Was it going to be freezing? Should I wear everything I packed just in case? Monday morning, as we got off to another (wonderfully) slow start, we… Continue reading

It’s Always Sunny in Seattle & Canada (At Least When We’re There): Spring Break Day 2
While it’s common on vacation to want to get up and out and on the road as soon as you can so you have ample time to do as much as you can, there’s something to be said about moving slow and cruising out and going where the day takes you. While preparing for our… Continue reading
