New tuuuuunes! And I need you to visualize this with me, okay? Okay. Let’s just pretend for a second, that it’s either pre-Covid, or post-Covid, and you’ve either: a) got a sitter, or b) it’s a time before kids all together, you don’t have jowls and you’re out in a cozy dive bar with your […]

Monthly Mixtape: Honey and Sugar and Mayonnaise
New yeaaaaar! New like, everything. Year, decade, century, millennium, myrioi, megaannum, all of it. Don’t argue with me about this, just smile and look pretty. To celebrate the new all of it, I’ve obviously got some sick beats for you. Actually, can Taylor Swift throw me in jail for using the words “sick beats”? I […]
Monthly Mixtape: Garden Blooms and Heirlooms
Happy May Day plus an extra day in May! I think. I won’t keep you. It’s Thursday, and the rain has paused just long enough for me to get outside and get some garden ish in the ground and my window boxes pimped and the HONEYSUCKLE VINE planted (I got a honeysuckle vine! Aren’t you […]
Monthly Mixtape: Fresh Rhythm and Crisp Sheets
Happy New Yeaaaaaaar! Let’s ease into this thing, ‘mkay? Last year I left you with music, and this year, I’m welcoming you back with music! It’s the only way. That and, I got lazy yesterday and didn’t want to edit a recipe. (WHERE ARE EMOJIS WHEN YOU NEED THEM.) How was your break? Too long? […]
Monthly Mixtape: Backpacks and Apple Trees
We made it to the ’embers! Which is what I feel like I say every year on this day at this time to your face. Today the gremlins go back to preschool. Second year. AND I AM FOAMING-AT-THE-MOUTH EXCITED. One, for all that ish they’re gonna learn and become super smart and prepped for Kindergarten, […]
Monthly Mixtape: Maaaay It Stay Like This Forever
WELL THAT TOOK LONG ENOUGH, SPRING. But you’re here! You’re finally, finally here. And I welcome you with open all the things. So listen! I just got back from NYC, and my house is a complete train wreck. So I won’t keep you long. (You’re welcome?) But I wanted to give your ear holes some […]
Monthly Mixtape: Icy Tulip and Drenched Picnic
APRIL. (<—although right now it feels like Decemberrrrwaaaaaaahhhhhh.) But I’m fine. I’ll be fine. It’s fine. This photo ^^ is from our weekend Easter getaway to Fayetteville. It was warm during that very moment. The sun was shining. The blooms were singing in harmony and the flowers were wiggling with jubilation in the warm soil. […]
Monthly Mixtape: In Like a Crocus, Out Like a Daffodil
At least I think that’s how the saying goes. HOW IS IT MARCH? I know I say this every month, but – HOW. IS. IT. MARCH. Not that I’m wishing for January again. Hayell naw. I’ve been following the weather forecast on an extra psychotic level lately, and it APPEARS, and I don’t want to […]
Monthly Mixtape: Everything Old is New Again
Aaaaaaaand it’s 2018. How? HOW! h o w. I’m actually quite eager for the new year, unlike grumpy mcfuss pants. ^ I don’t MIND January. Kind of like it, truthfully. It’s that one month of the year where goals and motivation and fresh starts are bouncing around the cerebral walls like teenage butterflies on Taylor […]
Monthly Mixtape: Don’t Bother Me I’m Drin- Cooking.
Would it give you panic attack if I opened this blog post with, “53 days until Christmas!” Maybe this would be less anxiety-inducing: “418 days until Christmas 2018!” Or: “783 days until Christmas 2019!” None of that is helpful? Oh. It’s Novemberrrrrr! Which, DID YOU KNOW actually translates to Bloody Mary season? I think it’s […]
