Guess what season it is!

It’s actually a teensie bit late in the season, but I’ve been crazy busy and I’m only now getting to it: iris buying season! For those of you following along at home, you’ll know I have a bit of an obsession with these gorgeous flowers. They’re both easy and hard – drop them anywhere in […]

What does it mean to never forget?

I had a one-and-a-half-year-old and a newborn on the day that the World Trade Center fell. I had taken the latter part of the summer off to take care of my baby, but was trying to motivate to get into my business on that crystal clear September morning. I had put on the Today Show […]

Yay, Huma!

News just broke that Huma Abedin is finally dropping Anthony Weiner like the horny little hot potato that he is. Damn, that took so much longer than it should have. But, yes, she is finally choosing self respect and leaving the man who quite literally can’t keep it in his pants. I recently watched the […]

Fit to be cross

I don’t like working out under the best of circumstances, but CrossFit is a special kind of hell. Designed with the idea that lifting ridiculous amounts of weight lots and lots of times is a good idea for everyone, dragging my carcass there takes the willpower of a thousand monks. Why do I do it?

Be a Martian

When I was a kid I used to love to sit on the rickety stairs of our old rental house at night, look up at stars and wonder who was out there. Years before I heard the old Carl Sagan line, “The universe is a pretty big place. If it’s just us, seems like an […]

It may be time for someone to stage an intervention

Do I write an inordinate amount about my bed? I seem to recall several posts about it already. The thing is I LOVE IT SO MUCH. It is a haven and a place of peace and quiet joy. A have spent a king’s ransom on it, my mattress, and every stitch and bit that adorns […]

The ultimate blondie

I remember when it became apparent I could no longer eat gluten: spring of 2014. My book had just come out and every time I went to a new book tour stop, I got violently ill. At first I thought I was catching stomach bugs at every stop in states ranging from Virginia to Massachusetts. […]

Blind date with a book

I love clever ideas, and if they’re bookish to boot, they make me really happy. So I was delighted to discover Blind Date with a Book, which gives you the blind date experience… with a book! From what I can see, the concept was originated by a book shop in Australia, which puts brown paper […]

I read paint

Perhaps one of the best things about the internet is how democratizing it is and how it helps us discover things without having to go through gate keepers. I discovered one such gem on Instagram the other day. He’s an artist who puts book quotes in his absolutely stunning paintings. Below is one of my […]

The great ziplining adventure

Hi, loves! I’m experimenting with a new video-producing app called Splice. What better material than my super-fun zip lining pictures and video? I still have to figure out music for the background and other stuff, but here, for your viewing pleasure, my first Splice video:
