FYI: It looks like pistachios are now being recalled. Will salmonella please stop attacking my favorite nuts?! (That’s what she said.) I’m a little emotionally drained today 😐 I’ll stick to the food, capeesh? I woke up early this morning and did 30 minutes on the elliptical at the gym, followed by a P90X Core […]
Breakfast
Skewl 4 My Edumacation
Well, I’m back 🙂 🙁 Class officially begins tomorrow (nothing on Monday, Wednesday or Friday again – yes!) and I spent most of my day stocking up on groceries, toiletries and books. One great part of coming back to school after a long break is getting to pick up my mail. I was really excited […]
I Bid You Adieu, Arizona

Who Wants a Treat?!
Guess what?! My mom told me that the “somethings” I have planned for the upcoming blog anniversary arrived safely in glorious Arizona this afternoon 🙂 I am so pumped! In the meantime, there’s another goodie waiting at the bottom of this post! So go ahead and scroll down to the bottom read the rest of […]
Obligatory Maternity Leave
Did I get your attention with that title? 😉 No, I do not need to take maternity leave from the blog (everyone say “good one, Jenn!” as you roll your eyes). I have just spent most of my day writing about Polish family policies and their effect on occupational segregation and the gender wage gap […]
