For the past 2 years I have made marshmallows around Christmas time. If you have ever had a homemade marshmallow, you know how superior they are to any jet puff you can find at the grocery store. Let me be clear, I’ll enjoy any marshmallow, any time, any where. Dey goo...

It’s so close! The kitchen! I am incredibly lucky to have been able to design a kitchen from scratch. It’s a luxury, I know. However, It doesn’t seem very luxurious when you’re renovating for 2 years. It has been a long and arduous process, but we are almost there. The...

So I made my first turkey. Well, I guess we made our first turkey because it was so f**king heavy I could barely pick it up, and also I would have abandoned ship and bought KFC if it weren't for Ryan insisting everything would be fine. It did turn out okay, and we ate...

What an excellent month. The month when it is certain that we have transitioned into a new season. If every month of the year was assigned a time of day, November would be a chilled, moody twilight. 2017 is getting ready for bed, and November is wrapping it in a plaid...

A 3 day trip to Iceland with friends and family and a surprise engagement.

Days are whizzing by like a flurry of snowflakes and I am freaking Lorelei Gilmore (by which I mean I'm loving it). In the past five months I have switched jobs, moved, gotten engaged, and adopted a dog. I am now planning a wedding, teaching a new class at a new grade...

I just returned from my first trip to the great state of Maine. It was unbelievably gorgeous; I couldn't have visited on a better weekend. The leaves... THE LEAVES. The colors were amazing. I felt like I was living in a dream where everywhere I looked there was somethi...
