Home. Life. Work. Ease.
Remember This is a periodic blog series of thoughts, quotes and inspiration that I want to remember—and you might, too. Things I’ve learned about life so far, and don’t want to forget (like my human brain has a tendency to do). You can view the all the posts in the series here. I’m sharing this quote on the blog today not only because it’s inspired me time and again, but
I had a fantastic conversation over the weekend about consuming the news and being intentional about it. It brought to mind a ton of interesting questions, and allowed me to refocus on my own intentions around watching and reading the news. After Monday morning’s Las Vegas tragedy, I thought it would be timely to share some of these thoughts here. I went to school for journalism & strategic communication, and
In today’s blog post, I’m gonna go ahead and live up to this stereotype like whoa: I’m white, I practially live in yoga pants, and I fucking LOVE pumpkin spice. But here’s the thing: Starbucks doesn’t actually put any pumpkin in their PSL. Aside from whatever other “natural flavors” may or may not be in there, that bums me out. And the other thing: in my twenties, I had a
Ahh, autumn! My kitchen is filled with harvest from my garden and bounty from the farmer’s market…and a boat load of FRUIT FLIES. Buzzing around the tomatoes and the bananas and the garbage and the unwashed dishes (I should probably wash those, but instead I’m here with you). They are such annoying pests. Who knows how they got in, but now that they’re here, they’re prolific. My husband kindly reminded
Hello! I missed you. How is your day, friend? I want to talk to you about a very serious subject today. That is: brownies. I believe every household should have a favorite brownie recipe on hand, when the craving strikes. I feel deep sorrow for those who are without. I aim to help at least some of those today. Before I begin: there are “cakey brownie” lovers and “fudgy brownie”
Happy weekend, folks. I want to talk to you about laundry, because it feels like a weekend catch-up activity, and I’ve recently been enjoying it(!!!) which is a pretty rare experience, and therefore invites discourse. Part I: I got a clothesline! Here are some reasons why: 1. Air drying uses no natural gas (read: nonrenewable fossil fuel) to power my dryer. I love the environment and climate change is real, so
Ahh, email. A critical communication tool, to be sure. But is it also—and pardon the language, but this is a direct quote—“a fucking disaster zone”? Here are seven signs you might not be the master of your email…yet. (Stay tuned at the end of this post for some ideas to move you in the right direction!) You have four hundred eleventy billion unread emails. And the thought of dealing with
Several months ago I saw a comic that would completely change the way I communicate (and therefore, change my life. NBD.) The artist is Yao Xiao. I want you to see it before another word is said. // source Now that you’ve read it (isn’t it amazing?!?) what I want to talk about today, specifically, is how often we habitually apologize in emails. Before I read about the idea of

Snapshot is a periodic series about what’s going on in my life right now—what I’m eating, reading, doing, loving, and my favorite links from around the web. Oh, hello! I’m adding a few new sections to my snapshot, because I’ve always wanted to share what I’m listening to and watching lately, since it changes so often. Hope you like it! Eating Canned peaches and jalapeño jelly, oh my! I spent
