If I have a say, that post title is a fact, not just a wish. The more time I spend in glorious Arizona, the more I realize that it’s the place where I am happiest. Now, I’m sure that my family plays a big part in that sentiment, but as much as I love my […]

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 […]
“Wasa”p?
I blinked and another weekend disappeared! I suppose it didn’t help that we had to spring forward this morning. The good news? I’ve been doing my best to follow my Subtracting Added Sugar Goal of under 25 grams all weekend long and am still feeling fabulous. I know it’s only been three days, but so […]
Honey, Ah Sugar Sugar

Eyes Wide Shut
Whew! What an exhausting week this has been. Lacking in the sleep department is really starting to catch up with me. I looked like this 😯 in all of my classes today. Except there was red where the whites of the eyes should have been. Fortunately, with all the running around I’ve been doing, I’ve […]
You Got Icing On My Oatmeal
Is Fat Tuesday over already? I can’t believe it’s 9:40 pm as I start writing this post. We’ll see how long it takes me – I’ll make a time stamp when I’m finished 🙂 The good thing about Tuesdays is that since I don’t have to wake up early to work, I can wake up […]
