My birthday is in a week. One week. A week from today, but when I post this, it will probably be a week from yesterday. It’s my 25th birthday. I remember when I was 20, my mom told me that her “freak-out” birthday was 25 because she realized she was halfway to 50. “Naw, I am always excited to be older!” I thought...
Once upon a time I had some leftover roast. I decided to try out a recipe for baked nachos, and told Josh that I would be making that for dinner.

Painting, sanding, moving stuff, staging, decorating, and the list goes on and on. It’s brutal and...

The dough gets really thick, so make sure you either have a heavy-duty mixer or are ready to mix with your hands when it starts to thicken up. I know...
Sometimes I like to sit in my car. Maybe in a parking lot, or my driveway, or at work. Wherever. But I simply sit silence as people pass me with carts or babies or dogs or lovers or lawn mowers or cellphones to go about their day. And I exhale into deep thought. You really should try it. Because it’s the best sanctuary...
