We are over two months into staying home in the United States. While some states have opened up and others have relaxed shelter in place directives, other places, like where I live, continue to be locked down. We don’t know what the future holds, how long states will be opened or closed, but I do… Continue Reading A Stay At Home Capsule Wardrobe
This post is late because I thought today was Sunday, not Monday. We’ve come to that point of sheltering in place where I have no idea what day of the week it is. Makes for a witty relatable tweet, but does not make for a productive or successful person. Ugh. I also went through my… Continue Reading What I Wore Last Week: May 18, 2020

So we make a lot of simple meals that are crowd-pleasers for a food lover, a picky tween who… Continue Reading Super Simple Plant-based Recipes

Don’t get me wrong, I am all about modern medicine and a huge supporter of vaccines. However, I love to… Continue Reading Trying a Plant-Based Diet
Let’s talk about that silver dress. If you’re not sure what silver dress I’m talking about, it’s the one above, first seen in this blog post from 2015, but re-shared in this Weekend Reads and this Instagram post where I received several comments saying I should keep the dress because it’s so flattering, could prove… Continue Reading Why I Donated a Flattering Dress
This past week had me craving prints and color and all things spring. While it got so cold this week in Maryland that we had frost and a chance of snow, spring has truly spring with happy birds, flowering trees, intensely blue skies, and every plant bursting forth electric greenery.
