Do you organize your grocery list by where things are located in the grocery store? I remember discovering that my mom did this when I was little and being amazed by how much of a genius she was. It blew my mind. Such a clever trick would’ve never occurred to me, I was sure. As … Continue reading
If you ever got famous (or infamous) enough to be parodied on Saturday Night Live, which cast member (past or present) would you want to play you? I think about this on a semi-regular basis, even though I have no plans to become famous anytime soon. I think I’d pick Kristen Wiig (circa 2007) or … Continue reading
I need your help guys! Are you all Trader Joes fans? I’ve always heard people talking about how great Trader Joes is, but I’ve never lived very close to one, and I’ve only been a handful of times. BUT — in a very exciting move — a brand-new Trader Joes just opened up a few … Continue reading
Did anyone happen to catch this article in Salon a few months back? It’s called “I’m Not Ambitious, and That’s OK,” and I was really glad to read it. I feel like there have been a lotttttt of articles and books lately about women “having it all” (ugh), and — as this writer pointed out … Continue reading
Big day guys! Do you know what today is? It is the lasttttttttt day of winter! Hallelujah! I mean, I’m sure it’ll start snowing again in no time, but for today at least, I’m happy.

In addition to being an adorable holiday treat, WHAT A GREAT IDEA, RIGHT!? Rice Krispie treats are one of my favorite snacks, but would I ever … Continue reading
I’m hesitant to talk about the weather again, since I’ve been harping on it so much lately, but it’s just been so bizarre lately that I can’t help myself. This week has been especially cruel — high 60s and sunshine on Tuesday, followed by rain and thunderstorms on Wednesday, and a Thursday that looked beautiful … Continue reading
Guys, have we talked about How I Met Your Mother recently? I know we have before, but I don’t think we’ve talked about this alarming theory that The Mother — the one we’ve been waiting nine long years to meet — might actually be dead. Have you heard this? It’s making me inappropriately nervous. I … Continue reading
I know it’s BASICALLY SPRING AND ALL, but I can probably squeeze one last chili recipe in under the wire, right? I guess I’ll just give it a try and wait to see if I hear from the food blog police. So! This chili is crazy simple to make (and very good, too), but I … Continue reading
Well, friends, we’ve waited a long, long, long time for this, and it’s finally here — it’s time to spring forward! I know some people hate losing an hour of precious weekend time, but I’d trade that hour and more for an extra hour of daylight at the end of the day. Nothing makes me … Continue reading
