Surprise! I’m back in Ohio! I had a big callback that brought me back to the midwest, so I figured I’d make a little stay out of it! Last night I went over to my brother and sister-in-law’s house. It was so fun. We watched The Bachelor Winter Games AND she helped me customize myContinue reading Homemade Chips & Guac
My Unseen Recovery
First of all: to the person who used my Amazon link to order a pair of pizza socks that literally comes in their own miniature cardboard pizza box….a) Can we be friends? b) You’re winning at life. And C) Thank you for using my link! 🙂 OK, so real talk: this was a tough weekend for America.Continue reading My Unseen Recovery
The Go-Between’ers
I felt a devastating familiarity, hearing about the shooting at Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida yesterday. These tragedies have become all too common in our current world. Las Vegas, Orlando, Sandy Hook, San Bernadino, Manchester. It seems like every couple months, the list keeps getting longer and longer. It’s sickening. The prayers we pleadContinue reading The Go-Between’ers
Mexican Skillet Cakes
Happy Ash Wednesday! (And Valentine’s Day!) Ready or not, we’re officially kicking off the Lenten season today. And in my Catholic family, that always means one thing: no meat on Fridays. Growing up, we would always go to the Friday Night Fish Fry at my church. It was definitely something I looked forward to in ourContinue reading Mexican Skillet Cakes
An Ashy Valentine’s Day
Well, in case you were uncertain as to the relentless pace of time, allow me to be the first to remind you: Lent begins this week. I know. I can’t believe it either. It feels like literally two days ago that we were ringing in 2018. But yep – Ash Wednesday is here. And I’m personallyContinue reading An Ashy Valentine’s Day
Tied Up with String
🎵🎵🎵…These are a few of my favorite things. 🎵🎵🎵 So this is now the sixth attempt at a post. My writer’s block is in full swing – perhaps because my creative mind is across the world in India, dancing in a hot pink sari with elephants at the wedding-of-the-century I’m supposed to be attending rightContinue reading Tied Up with String
Zesty Rainbow Ribbon Salad
Thanks, everyone, for your kind words about my would-have-been trip to India. Obviously, the food situation with my Ulcerative Colitis was one of the factors in my decision not to go. But just because I have to follow this therapeutic Specific Carb Diet doesn’t mean I don’t eat delicious food on the reg. Case inContinue reading Zesty Rainbow Ribbon Salad
Curve Balls
Gosh, thank you so much for the support after last week’s emotional blog post. Thankfully I am now 100% healthy – the flu couldn’t keep me down for long! And I have taken a page from T Swift’s book and did a little “shake it off” dance. It’s crazy though. The video is at nearlyContinue reading Curve Balls
True Life: Online Bullying
So I’ve been sick with the flu this week. I haven’t left my bed in over 24 hours. My hair has that post-sleep permafix; I’m bundled up in three layers – all of which need a good washing after last night’s fever. There’s a mountain of tissues on my bedside table. And to top itContinue reading True Life: Online Bullying
Hearty Vegetable Soup
I’m writing this, curled up in my bed, sick as a dog. Even though I got a flu shot this year (first one ever, I might add) I still ended up with a nasty bug. Such is life. Anywho. When I was out at Sundance last week, we ate some pretty delicious food. And one night, whileContinue reading Hearty Vegetable Soup
