stacks of biscotti Did you know that biscotti means “twice-baked cake” in Italian? Neither did I until I was looking up recipes for it last week (recipe here). In fact, it came as a huge shock to me that I would need to bake something twice that I almost didn’t go through with it. I […]
I love to cook. However, due to my ever-changing schedule and constant travel, it makes it hard to visit the grocery store on a regular basis and have items on-hand that can create delicious meals. While perusing Whole Foods last weekend I came across Rising Moon ravioli. I decided to give it a whirl and […]
…and none the wiser. Yes it’s true, I have a birthday looming this weekend. I turn 26 on Sunday and the number just sounds daunting. Gone are the days when I check the 18-25 box on forms. Below is my 21 year old self just raising a solo cup and toasting to all that’s […]

There’s something alluring about the juxtaposition of a prim and proper white dress topped with a stiff, canvas military jacket. So different, yet so complementary–sort of like macaroni & cheese […]
I stepped into Nordstrom yesterday evening to peruse the anniversary sale shoe section and waltzed out with a receipt in my hand and a mind full of possibilities. Rather than coming home with a new pair of boots, I found a leather jacket that was heavily discounted and out of stock in my size (naturally). […]
Back in Ohio AGAIN for a couple of days. Although I didn’t return to see my sister’s new purse, I did have the honor of watching her open it with complete and utter disappointment. Epic fail, Jane! As a disclaimer, I didn’t make her do anything. She liked the purse and thus, bought the purse. […]
