There is a very large corner of my life I have never written about here. Perhaps my reluctance has been due to the breadth of the endeavor–the explanation of which is too lengthy and significant for my 5-minute-every-couple of-days-blogging-style. It could also be that all ventures require faith, risk, and unknowns…and sometimes it feels safer [...]

I sewed another outfit. Lest you think I sew all the time, I don’t. This week’s outfit was the culmination of being homebound with sick children, being out of touch with my computer in the shop, and being too nauseous to cook and entertain. A lovely byproduct from what otherwise was an [...]

I love to watch the Food Network while I work out at the gym. Paula Deen is unbearable for me to watch as every episode includes something fried with a drizzle of butter on top and a side of heavy cream. Southern cooking, you know. Barefoot Contessa, however, provides endless inspiration for [...]
