It’s hard to believe that we’re only a little more than a month into summer. Maybe it’s the fact that I’m currently editing magazine articles about pumpkins and fall foliage (my favorites). Luckily I need only walk outside for Arizona to remind me of exactly where we are on the calendar. Nothing screams ’tis the season more than cookies […]

Happenings (viii)
1. I turned 27 back on May 9. Similar to last year, part of my birthday weekend was spent in St. Louis, where I had the chance to spend some time with my Grandma Gige. We attended an early afternoon showing of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, which was really good. I watched Ace Young’s […]
Twenty Fourteen
The new year started off on the right track thanks to a breakfast made with love. These bacon breakfast cupcakes were super easy to make and crazy delicious, especially when topped with salsa. I have a feeling they’ll be added into our rotation with the brunch egg casserole. I also was thrilled to obtain a […]
Reading Between the Wines: The Compound by S.A. Bodeen
‘Twas another great meeting of Reading Between the Wines this past weekend! Everyone in our book club has officially hosted a month, so October’s meeting was back at my house. It’s amazing to think we’ve had almost a full year of great reads, food and conversation! Up for discussion this month: The Compound by S.A. […]
Reading Between The Wines: The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern

Between the circus-themed goodies provided by Shanley (our hostess) and the Bacardi favors provided by Nicole (more on that in a bit), we had a great time. Oh, and the book discussion was fun, too. 😉 I actually read The Night Circus at […]
Reading Between The Wines: The Paris Wife by Paula McLain
This weekend marked the second meeting of Reading Between the Wines. Our book selection this time around was a lot different than our first pick, but I love variety and jumping from young adult to historical fiction is pretty much my normal reading routine. Plus, I’d been wanting to read The Paris Wife by Paula […]
Reading Between the Wines: Unwind by Neal Shusterman
One of my goals for 2013 – and, more specifically, for when I moved to Arizona – was to start an in-person book club. In my opinion, chatting about books is the perfect way to get to know someone. You have an instant ice breaker, and you also get to learn something about that person […]
Looking Ahead
We are already a week into 2013 and I am so overwhelmed – in the best possible way – by all of the excitement this year promises. Now that Bobby and I are feeling like ourselves again – as evidenced by the cold beer and cheeseburgers we consumed tonight – I’ve had a chance to […]
