April! About. frickin’. time. Not that I’m trying to wish life away. My jowls are squeezing the reins of time continuum like DUUUUUUUUDE CHIIIIILL. But the rest of me is super pumped to see April. First of all, today’s our anniversary! Wedding. 14 years. So insane. Secondly, I pick up kindergarten enrollment packs today and […]

Monthly Mixtape: Snowflakes and Honey
Happy February! …five days in. And don’t look at me like that – this mixtape is the furthest from over-the-top sap. Matter of fact, it’s hardly about love or loving or lovers at all! (minus Gillian’s song My First Lover, which isn’t even romantic, but simply incredible and everyone must store this song somewhere in […]
Monthly Mixtape: My Eyes Are Up Here
November! How? HOW. And no, you’re right – totally didn’t get a mixtape up last month. It was one of those little life eras where there was LESS than zero time to pull one together. My bad! Don’t hate. Just appreciate? I hope this one makes it up to you, though. Because it’s kind of […]
Monthly Mixtape: High-Waisted, Wide-Legged, Feathered-Bangs and Big Sunglasses
Or in other words, my birth decade! Birth decade? The decade I was born. 1976. In August. This month. Never mind. It’s my birthday month! WHO HERE . . . (I sound like Tig Notaro. “WHO HERE . . . actually believes . . . that the Indigo Girls are here?”) starts getting the tiniest […]
Monthly Mixtape: Tomato Vines and Fireflies
Happy early 4th! Fourth? Forth. FARTH. Just kidding. We’re BACK. We’re home. And surprisingly, it feels really, really good. We didn’t know what to expect when we walked into our beloved little ranch house after a full month of being away. Of course it smelled stale, it was hot and sticky, and a few pepper […]
Monthly Mixtape: ROAD TRIIIIIIIP!
No, this photo has nothing to do with a road trip, why do you ask? Truth is, I just like it! AND THAT IS RARE. I put it in Stories the other day, and a shocking number of people said, “Shame on you, Ma’am! Put that somewhere permanent!” Well, if I must. Even if it […]
Monthly Mixtape: Coffee Rings and Heart Strings
One month down, 11 to go! Not that I’m counting. How do you feel about February? It’s totally a weird month, right? It’s like, V COLD. But spring is on the radar. It’s the month of luuuuv, but you’re also starting to wrap your head around the reality of death taxes. Which is a buzz […]
Monthly Mixtape: Cookies and Milk and “You Serious, Clark?”
AAAAAAND just like that it’s Christmastime. (!!) And finally, THIS MIX! This mix this mix this mix. This mixtape might be my favorite one of all time. And I’m dying for you to listen to it. RIGHT NOW. Today, all day. Tonight. Tomorrow, all weekend, for the rest of this month. Through New Year’s Eve. […]
Monthly Mixtape: Bangin’, Swingin’, Moodin’, Flappin’, Jazzin’ Airwaves of Yesteryear
It’s HERE. It’shereit’shereit’shere! (that was hard to type.) THEEE mixtape that I’ve been obnoxiously eager to make you for sosososo long. Just don’t ask me what took so long. Actually, I totally know what took so long. It’s the season. The FEEL. All summer I wanted to give you happy mixes with carefree vibes, blah […]
Monthly Mixtape: Flip Flops and Popsicles
JUNE IS BUSTING OUT ALL OVERRRRR. And by that I mean it’s pouring rain. But I’ll take it! Because in about a month, we gon’ be dry and barren and humid and icky and nasty and sweaty and dead grassy and whiney and weedy and no. Remember in old movies how June was always THE […]
