This one feels unfinished, but I think it's unfair to hold things in until they're perfect. My standard of perfection I've had for my work has prevented me from sharing things for 23 years. When gun violence hits close to home and you type into your phone on your train ride back to your apartment [...]

the Beginning of a Journey
So as to not waste your time, I'll tell ya this post is about the following: I've recently taken my first baby steps into a zero waste lifestyle and I want to tell everyone that it really isn't as hard as I thought it would be. This post is about my background with the earth, [...]

keep going
I need to get back into writing. Waiting for inspiration to strike, as a true artist does lol, isn't working for me. I have always described my blog as writing about Jesus and culture. While that's true and that's what I like to write the most, I always take my time with those posts. I [...]
just today
I drafted a post for my first wedding anniversary. I had planned to tell you all about my first year of marriage and, in my infinite one year of marriage wisdom, tell you what I learned. But, as a true artist, I just wasn't feeling it that day. Instead I wrote a poem about how [...]
tower and fall
I was building a super tall taller-than-you lego tower with my fave little 2 year old bud a few nights ago. TBH I've learned more from working with kids the past two years than I learned like... my whole life? Anyway, I'll call him Kid in this post since I don't love naming names in [...]
So you’ve got a puppy for a day
Recently, a friend needed a dogsitter for seven-ish hours. Luckily, we had an unseasonably warm and sunny day in Brooklyn! So, let's pretend you aren't a jerk that pretends your dog is a service dog in order to take your little friend into certain establishments. Here's where you can go. This isn't actually going to [...]
A Saturday with friends in Brooklyn
Okay mostly in Brooklyn. Once again, welcome to a weekend edition of stuff to do in New York! I worked during my friends' trip, but I had a Saturday off. Here's what we did all day! I'm not gonna lie- we had some difficulties in our initial plans, so some of this stuff was "second [...]
A weekend in nyc: grandparent edition
Has anyone else noticed that my family only visits me a few days at a time? Can someone let them know I'd happily host them for at least a week or two??? My mom, mom's friend, and my grandparents visited me this weekend!! My nan hasn't been since the 50s or 60s, she said. My [...]
the hard things
If you go back through my archives, you may have noticed I stopped writing for a while. I mean quite the hiatus. And my writing changed. I used to write about... serious things, I guess. Now you're seeing recipes. Sometimes. There's a lot going on and I feel guilty when I'm silent. And I think [...]
