WELCOME!
I’m a writer, podcaster, and parent of two almost-adults. I believe the best things in life start with a good conversation.
Aunt Elaine is my great-aunt, the wife of my late grandmother’s late brother. She’s 94. Last week, I received a birthday card from her, as I have every year of my life. OK, maybe she didn’t send me a card for my first birthday. But she probably did when I turned two.
I’m proud to say this is the best butternut squash soup I’ve ever made. Easy, nutritious, elegant, comforting. This would be perfect for Thanksgiving, or a cozy Sunday, or any time, really.
I definitely felt a shift this week. When an idea popped up I wanted to explore, my first impulse was to write a blog post, not to toss it out there on Facebook. Here’s why I think this is important. Also: links to some of my favorite #NaBloPoMo2019 posts this week.
A poem for my 51st birthday.
Christine and I share small but powerful ways to simplify holiday meals and entertaining.
My fundraiser for Everytown for Gun Safety ends in two days. We’re 90% of the way to the final goal of $3400 (four times the original goal). The outpouring of love and generosity from friends and strangers has been nothing short of remarkable.
