  • Life As My Grandma’s Caretaker

    Life As My Grandma’s Caretaker

    On July 4, 2017 I moved into my Grandparents’ house. (They lived across the street from my parents.) I was almost 27 years old. Grandpa was sick with terminal lung cancer and his biggest worry was what would happen to Grandma. She was immobile and in poor health. Winter Break 2011. I had just come… Read more

  • Jack Lemmon Is A Treasure

    Jack Lemmon is an underrated treasure. A short king, he could sing (although he often didn’t for his movies), he could rock a suit and was both a comedian and a straight man. My favorite movie of ALL time with THE GREATEST soundtrack is How to Murder Your Wife. I seriously plan to use this… Read more

Sticky notes covered with character traits, notebooks of side quest directions, sketches of the strangest… Read more

  • Romanticize Your Life

    Romanticize Your Life

    If you’re anything like me you really enjoy personality type quizzes like the enneagram or myers-briggs. (If you don’t know what the enneagram is… it’s kind of like the Christian answer to astrology.) I am an enneagram 4w5. And I romanticize EVERYthing. It’s potentially a problem. I love things that are cheesy and sweet. I… Read more

  • Kid’s Charcuterie Board

    Kid’s Charcuterie Board

    This is the greatest idea for kids, ESPECIALLY in the summer when they’re home and grazing and constantly asking for more food. As a nanny to my nephews (ages 3 and 5) I have started making a kid friendly charcuterie board. I got this idea from my friend (real life friend, not kind-of friend/internet acquaintance)… Read more
