Resolution RealTalk
It’s hard to believe, but the Christmas season is officially behind us. Come this time tomorrow, we will be ringing in 2016. 2016. I mean, jeezel petes. Where did time go? Whether we like it or not, the time is upon us to set new years resolutions. I think the number one resolution in America is to shed the holiday weight. Which, […]

Here I Am
So I’ve been watching rewatching The OC recently. That’s right. No shame here. I love it. All of it. Even the fourth season that literally limped along for 16ish pathetic episodes until the writers, in essence, gave up on the show. (Hello, Ryan’s dad?? WTFuudge mate?) ANYWHO. I digress. The episode I watched last night was the one where […]

Finally Home, At Home
It appears that time has escaped me, yet again. Between work and social engagements, I’m left with mere hours to plan, prepare, and purchase gifts for my family and friends. Nothing like a little holiday scramble to really get you in the Christmas spirit. That and an overpriced plane ticket. I just booked my flight home for […]

Two Teens, Two Realities
Ahh, Facebook, you double-edged sword, you. When you’re in your twenties, there comes a time when you log onto “The Book” and it’s like, overnight, every single one of your friends has gotten engaged. Scroll through your newsfeed, and it’s engagement photo after engagement photo, or better yet….babies. Well, needless to say, it’s happening. And I’m over […]

Fa La La
Christmas has always been my favorite time of year. I mean, if I could permanently decorate my life with white twinkle lights, I would. But I love it all: the decorations, the snow, the food, the music, the overly sappy Folgers commercials, the winter wardrobe, even Hallmark movies with their mawkish charm. I love it. all. But this year, aside from the fact that it’s […]

The B Word
Ahh, it’s that time of year again. And no, I’m not talking about mistletoe. Or eggnog. Or oversized sweaters with Uggs. I’m talking… The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. Yes, friends. The time is upon us. In case you haven’t heard, this Tuesday, the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show is coming to us live – err, pre-recorded […]

True Accountability
Elf on the Shelf. I’m sorry, but when, exactly, did this become a thing? Elf on the Shelf, in case you haven’t heard of this new parenting phenomenon, is a little figurine of an elf that parents place in the house in the months leading up to Christmas. The story is that Santa […]

O Christmas Tree
Hands down, my favorite Christmas tradition is putting up the tree. There’s just something about the smell of a beautiful evergreen mixed with the crisp winter air that really makes Christmas come alive for me. And even though this weekend it was 65 degrees, and my family has switched over to a fake tree… the […]
