My favorite thing about fall is the baked goods, especially when I get to make them. Baking to me has always been tops on my list of things I like to do in my kitchen so it’s no surprise that I spent the majority of yesterday with my mother’s recipe and one of Maris’ spread [...]
The wind is howling away outside, it’s getting down to 31 degrees tonight and snow is in the forecast. Fall appears to have been spectacularly brief but beautiful here in Boulder. While I am no where near ready for winter and especially not for snow, I can’t help but feel a little more excited. Excited [...]
*…and how they have absolutely no relation to each other. I remember when weekends were filled with things like bars, drinking, picnics in the park, lazy mornings and pajamas. Now I wake up early, get ready for work, stand on my feet all day and then I come home, make dinner and watch reruns of [...]
A few of my fellow bloggers are participating in Grace in Small Things, a wonderful weekly series where you say what you’re happy for. I used to participate in this on my last blog but when things went downhill at my job, I just stopped doing it. I stopped looking for the beautiful and the [...]
Did you know that every seven years your taste buds change? And that you can develop new allergies? Apparently your body goes through a cycle. I believe it–I used to hate cooked fish, couldn’t even smell it without getting nauseous–up until this year when I started eating it. Now I love it! I also used [...]
I’m coming up on my nine month anniversary of moving to Boulder, a fact that I just can’t get over. How has it been just nine months?! It’s incredible how fast time can fly and just how much can happen in such a short period of time. It’s taken a lot of time and patience [...]
Life has kind of been surprising me lately. It’s been overwhelming at times and frustrating at others but for the most part I’ve been enjoying the twists and turns it has been taking. While it’s frustrating that my interior design career isn’t going anywhere, my photography has picked up in ways I never could have [...]
I’ve always had this fantasy of wanting to live in a very, very small town in Ireland. You know the ones that have only pubs and maybe a convenience shop–inside that pub. It’s a nice fantasy that I play with everytime life gets a little hectic and I think, wouldn’t it be much more fun [...]
My parents and I have a rocky relationship. That’s not to say it’s bad–because it’s not. At all. We have a very good relationship and I’m very close with both of them, speaking to them on the phone (whether by text or call) at least once a day. However, like any parent-child relationship, ours is [...]
For the past week my parents have been in town which means that I have cheated a whole ton on this being Vegan thing. In fact, I basically put it aside and let myself eat what I wanted–lamb, grilled cheese, clams, ice cream. I’m hopping on the bandwagon once again with a freezer full of [...]
