I’ll Always Remember the Good Parts
A couple weeks ago my mom, sister and I took a trip to Arkansas to visit both my cousin Brittney and her family, as well as my great great Aunt Evelyn who just recently turned 97 years old. Usually when I go on a trip, I like to blog about it (check out some examples… Continue reading

Does Someone Have A Second to Invent These Things?
When I was younger I thought it would be cool to be an inventor. I pictured myself creating the next big thing the world never knew it needed, becoming a millionaire and living in a mansion with my family and a pet elephant. The only thing that stood in the way of that dream was… Continue reading

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

What I Learned from My First Stagecoach Festival
This past weekend I went to the Stagecoach Country Music Festival for the first time. Leading up to it, I didn’t know what to expect.

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

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

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

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
