Cleaning Up My Act
It’s 2020! In the spirit of reflection on what felt like one of the longest yet quickest years of my life, I wanted to share some of my triumphs and failures on a big undertaking of mine. One of my goals for 2019 was to …

Easy Potato Latkes (Pancakes)
Well. The Thunder are out of the finals, so I guess that means I’m back in action here. My social media feeds have slowly lost interest once the East and West coast conference champions were announced. No one wants to watch the Heat beat the Spurs. …

Pot Holders and Oven Mitt
Today’s post is inspired by my stop at a Crate and Barrel outlet on the way home from a bachelorette party weekend in Palm Springs. Needless to say, it was a very fun weekend with some of the most amazing women I’ve known for more …
