On the one hand … less words to search in the Rolodex in your head when you’re trying to come […]
For a nice change of pace, adulting isn’t the only scary thing going on in my life, because Halloween meant permission to read all the scary books I normally avoid! Huzzah! Honestly, I didn’t get to quite as many as I’d hoped, but I’m still working on finding that illusive work/life balance everyone talks about. […]
I’m not altogether sure what sort of sorcery this is, but I approve this message. For anyone who’s read this blog before, you may know that I have a wee bit of a problem actually sticking to TBRs. It’s hard, when you spend all day around books that are screaming PICK ME and you only […]

So for this one, we’re going to pretend that I’m totally rocking this productivity thing and obviously not pulling my hair out between two jobs, parenting, writing, and blogging. Ha, yeah, nope. I’m doing […]

Wait, no, that’s not right. We ask these three W’s:What are you currently reading?What did you […]
Halloween is just a couple days away, and I’ve never much been into the costumes or the candy, but what I really love is all the creativity people show when carving pumpkins! It’s mostly 80% awe, 5% wondering how they did it, 5% considering how horribly I’d mess up if I even attempted it, and […]

Confession: I don’t drink lattes, pumpkin or otherwise. Phew. It felt good getting that off my chest. To be fair, there are no coffee shops anywhere relatively close to me except for a teensy local thing, and I’ve only had espressos there as a treat a handful of times. Because really, I don’t need espressos. […]
