I heard about The Girl on the Train on NPR; I caught the last bit of an interview with the author Paula Hawkins and was interested. I had finished the second book in the Outlander series and was looking for a change of pace before I delved into the third. I listened to The Girl… Continue Reading The Girl on the Train, Blogging, and the Whole Story
Hey folks, I’m back! This was by far the longest time I spent away not just from posting, but the business of blogging. I had big ideas about creating videos, beauty posts with pictures or videos, redoing the things that bug me with the look and usage of the blog but really I just spent… Continue Reading Happy New Year!
We had a day for giving thanks. We had two for getting deals. Now, we have #GivingTuesday, a global day dedicated to giving back.

It’s simple: find a way… Continue Reading #GivingTuesday and The Health Wagon

You’ve had favorites who really spoke to you, but lately their blogs are disappointing. What happened to that awesome blog from 2007, 2009, or even 2012 that you loved so much?… Continue Reading The Old Fashion Blog She Ain’t What She Used to Be: Why Blogs Change
Life has been super busy this past month and I realize I haven’t been too chatty on here. Oh sure, advice posts and a couple outfits thrown in, but little with what’s going on beyond the blog. Emerson’s enjoying kindergarten so much, and it’s crazy how much she has changed since she began school. She… Continue Reading What’s Up, Buttercup?
Last weekend, Karl, my sister, and our two friends headed to the Baltimore Shindig Festival 2014. It was the weekend before Karl’s birthday (the big 4-0 yo!), and the festival was featuring some pretty great bands that he and I both love: Clutch, Jane’s Addiction, Gogol Bordello, Fishbone, and more. Baltimore Shindig Festival 2014 Review… Continue Reading Baltimore Shindig Festival 2014 Review
This past Sunday I had the pleasure of seeing Jack White live at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Maryland. I’ve been a huge fan of his for a long time; while I never got a chance to see the Racounteurs, I did see the White Stripes (Bonnaroo 2007, festie recap here), the Dead Weather (Bonnaroo… Continue Reading Out and About: Jack White at Merriweather Post Pavilion
