Maaaaay! Are you able to open windows and doors yet? Are you able to read outside yet? Are you able to piddle in the garden beds and baby the sprouts and cheer on the flowers and tend to the herbs? Tell me everything. It’s been pretty glorious lately in Kansas City. Chilly in the mornings […]
April! Time to open windows! Time to garden! Time for picnics! I can chill. Things are starting to blossom. The temperatures are spectacular. Patches of lime green are spreading through the yards. Daffodils are the boss right now, and tulips aren’t too far behind. It’s a magical transition. So let’s have a slight get-ya-going mixtape, […]
March! Happy month of peacin’ OUT, winter. (<–that made more sense in my head) We won’t even try to fix it. It’s close enough. Ahhhhh March. She’s a tricky son of a b, but I’ll still take her. The month of organizing the mental garden plan. The month of (weather-permitting) patio hangs watching the madness […]
Look, it’s probably Armpity, but that looks odd too so we’re just going with it. Also, this photo would for sure fall into the category of “keepin’ it real.” This is 100% my treadmill running view. Hahahahaha! I normally have a box fan hanging in front of me but it fused out the other day […]
Hey heeeeeeey, new yeaaaar! Happy 2023. We made it. I’m still waiting on my planner and a set of pretty pens to arrive, but I’ll pull through okay. I’m easing back into a work rhythm after a semi-wild winter break. Between non-stop hosting and the snow and Covid (my dad, not me) and 15 thousand […]
Admit it, you’ve been waiting for this one. BUT HARK. It’s nothing new. Christmas jazz. Christmas swing. Christmas vintage. You know how I do. But! Maybe in a different order? I dunno. This feel of Christmas is my very favorite, so get in it and let it wash over you. (wash over you?) Without another […]
FLAAAEEEERRRRRRRTTTTsam. Tell me what makes you HAPPY. And no, we’re going to get all therapyish here. Do you know me at all? I’m just genuinely curious – what makes you the happiest? And I’m not really talking about the broad scope of life – family, friends and health. Not that. Let’s go tiny. Let’s get […]
YES I SAW THE TAYLOR SWIFT TOUR DATES! (sorry to scream) I probably won’t sleep until I’ve successfully secured tickets for me and Nat, but that’s neither hither nor thither. (Also, I know my site looks weird. We had mega technical issues over the weekend but we’re slowly getting back to normal. Maybe.) It’s November! […]
Honestly, where do they all go? Also, Octobeeeeer! My favorite ‘er of them all. The theme with this month’s playlist? Ya know, nothing really. Actually, let me ask you something: do you like themes? Do you prefer themes? Or just you like an overall feel? I think sometimes that might be what I mean by […]
September! We’ve reached the ’embers! I say this every year and I have zero intention of ever quitting. This mixtape: it’s all about the drums. But don’t get worried, it’s not like, Rush drums or anything. No giant, chaotic fills. It’s the wash of drums. The feel of the beat that carries the song. Some […]
