Two very out of the ordinary things have happened this week: I’m dusting off the blog and actually sharing something with y’all. I made BREAD (okay, so it wasn’t REALLY bread…only partially). But damn was it good! I don’t typically need bread. Sure, I WANT bread (every second of every day, to be exact). But for the…

“I felt my lungs inflate with the onrush of scenery—air, mountains, trees, people. I thought, “This is what it is to be happy.”

Tuesday Therapy Session
A quiet night on the mountain.
Long Live Alfredo!
I love cheese. A lot. More than a lot, actually. If I had to live off of one thing for the rest of my life (nutritional aspects aside), I’d probably choose cheese. Probably? No, I would. Definitely. I hope you’ll register this as a testament to just how important cheese is in my life. In…

The Breakfast Scramble.
Our weekday breakfasts are never more than a green smoothie (self control seems to be easier on a schedule).

I love to get creative when I’ve got the time…
Just getting a little shopping done.
This little tyke was so darn cute, parading through The Village (in that stroller is a very frightening doll, FYI). My happy thought of the day. Thanks, kiddo!
All the single ladies.
(title cred: daniel chetter mankin) 2014, you’re going to be FAB. I can tell already. Minus ringing you in with a terrible sickness clear across the country (albeit surrounded by some magnificent people, food, and adventures), you’re already proving to be grand. I’m sure I’ve resolved to do such in earlier years (and, quite honestly,…
The Way I See It
As the sun begins to slowly, but very, very surely set on my 20s, I’m finding myself in an unfamiliar emotional state.
