The title of this blog post was my shout earlier this weekend. I’ve been having a lot of “wow, I’m an idiot” moments lately, and I thought I would share them with you, dear reader. But I’m not stupid. I swear.
I was helping a friend make up her kid’s bed, and things were just not [...]
I think I would like to start a new fourth of July tradition.
Of course, there will be fireworks and food (mmmm, gelato!)
But there will also be insanely big eagle statues and lots of pretty flowers.
There will be giant cars made out of Legos.
Incredible mountains and the most fabulous smelling roses ever.
And the [...]
Can I just say, I love cooking for my friends. Well, the reality is, I love cooking in general, but I don’t do it very much. Because then I just have tons of leftovers that I very quickly get sick of eating. So, what I really love is creating a great menu, then finding some [...]
Do you ever just have one of those near-perfect weekends? Where you just have little odds and ends planned, but those odds and ends just come together in such a way that by Sunday night you’re exhausted but utterly satisfied.
That’s the kind of weekend I had. And I would like to share it with you [...]
This weekend, I helped a friend move. And she declared we should have a “blog off” about the experience. I’m not really sure what that means. How do you judge who wins a blog off? But anyway, here’s the moving story, in haiku format. ‘Cause that’s how I roll.

So, last week I got to pinch hit for a friend who had a family emergency. I came over to watch her kids, which involved taking her older daughter to the pediatrician. Do you know how long it’s been since I’ve set foot in a pediatrician’s office? at least 15 years. It was funny, because [...]
So, the other day, I had a bad day. I mean really bad. There were some tears. Some yelling. Some bottling up emotions. Some cursing. It was just an all-around bad day.
But you know the best part of my bad day? My incredible friends. There was my friend who spent way too much time encouraging [...]
Just wanted to let you all know I added some new links over there.
To your left.
Keep going.
Almost there.

I’ve been meaning to post this picture for a while. It’s from when I was home in Virginia for Christmas. And it contains some of my favorite things (in no particular order):
A Starbucks Gingerbread Latte
Friends
A baby
How fun
Family is important to me. Extremely important. I love being a daughter, a sister, a cousin, a niece. But, distance has caused me to tweak my view of family. My biological family is still essential to me. I love nothing more than flying to Virginia, hanging out with my mom, bickering with my brother [...]
