Look closely–find anything wrong with this picture? (Besides the awkward face I’m making, that is.) Still can’t see it? Try looking a little closer… Just in case you’re apparently as tired as I am on this Friday afternoon, I’ll go ahead and make it easy for you: This is how I went to work today. …

In Defense of Cooking
At every full-time job I’ve ever had, I’ve noticed something: I am usually the only one in my workplace that brings lunch that I have cooked myself. At my last job (which was the first job I got after I was married), I quickly realized that due to financial reasons, I pretty much had to pack …

50 Weeks to Organized: Week 13
Go figure that this week just happens to be the unlucky 13–it seemed like every day that I normally would be doing my organization project, something came up or happened so that I no longer was able to do it. And then, when this morning came and I still hadn’t even started to look through …
Tuesday Tell-All

Now that I’ve actually been, I think there are definitely a couple of …
Bryce Canyon: A Photo & Word Journal, Day One
Day One: We are in the Mazda, speeding our way along the road that will shortly lead us right to the mouth of Bryce Canyon, a local (and national) jewel that I had never taken the chance to go see. My feet are wedged awkwardly next to our bulging bag of chips, Easter candy, and …

50 Weeks to Organized: Week Twelve
Sometimes as I do these posts, I wonder if I should be embarrassed to let the world see some of these horrendous “before” pictures (kind of like my “before” picture of the car, since it is proof of how much I love Tootsie Rolls.) But with each week, I try to squash any feelings of …
