Can you believe Memorial Day is like 5 minutes from now? Can you believe I totally spaced on it and picked a detox week right smack dab in the middle of one of the grillingest, drinkingest, party on the patio-ingest, oh oops I just fell in the pool with all of my clothes on-ingest weekends […]
So I’m tweeting with Phillip Phillips’ girlfriend. Is this a new low for me? I prefer to think of it as a new awesome. I tried tweeting with Phillip himself, but when I noticed a line of cop cars in front of my house and snipers in my birch trees, I climbed down from my […]
Excuse me but, where’s winter? I’ve looked under the bed, on the side of the house and in my purse and I’m not seeing it. I even looked at our Kansas City long range forecast and there’s like, no sign of the old man. I’ve always wanted to say “long range.” I feel so grown […]
You thought you were done with me for the day. HA! Sucker. I wanted to show you something real quick. You know how I’ll occasionally do cookbook reviews for Cooks and Books and Recipes? Wayell, I did a book review for this amazing new book, Simply Fresh, and wouldn’t ya know, it’s live on their […]
As you know, we were welcomed home yesterday to a Mount Everest-sized pile of green beans and jalapeno peppers. Which was zippity do da with me, because instead of hitting the grocery store, I needed to bathe our dog.

Even though the summer season doesn’t official begin for another couple of days, I sure am feeling it now. And I mean that in a good way. People are ferociously filling their eco-totes with fresh vegetables and fruits from the farmers’ markets. Couples in love and budding families are lounging over long lunches at restaurant […]
Today I went the extra mile to prove to my husband that I do in fact love him. We went, and I’m not kidding, to the Street League Skateboarding Championship at the Sprint Center. Skateboarding. Let me remind you, I’m FEMALE. AND 34. In the 15,000 people that attended, there was only 1 other female, […]
When we were in Florida on vacation, (I swear this is the last time) not only did I pick up a most exotic espresso steak rub at a local spice shop, but I also scored an awesomely titled spice blend, “Crazy Chicken.” “Crazy Chicken” – seriously, who wouldn’t buy that? I smelled it and you […]
I’ve been anxiously waiting for the Farmer’s Market to be open during the week. I’m fine with it on the weekends, of course, but something about a mid-week trip screams, “I’M ON TOP OF THE WORLD!” Actually, I think that was Leonardo DiCaprio, but whatever.
