We’ve had our KitchenAid blender for something like 8-10 years. I’m not really sure, but it’s been around a while. It’s kind of like when you’re trying to guess the age of someone, and you say they looked 60, but then you remember that your parents are in their 60’s, and the lady in question… Continue reading Smoothies for All!
You can’t shame yourself healthy – you can shame yourself into six pack abs. Maybe you chuckled when you read this. Maybe you said, “Psh, I’d take the shame and six pack abs!” I know there were many years where I’d have said that – well, honestly, there’s still days where I’d say that. But… Continue reading Health Shame
Tracking is something I enjoy in concept, but don’t quite follow through on in execution. Using my Silk & Sonder planners for the last four months has made tracking a part of my daily routine. (It’s strangely fun and satisfying for me.) Occasionally, I get heart flutters. Last summer, however, I had heart flutters every… Continue reading Tracking Things
While I’m attempting to write a largely spoiler-free piece on Tenet, reader discretion is advised. If you went to the movies much in the six months or so leading up to the pandemic, you probably saw a trailer for Tenet. The first trailer I saw for it was very short, and to me, lackluster. But… Continue reading Tenet
You know that feeling when you get the sudden rush of fight or flight, and you get that sickening adrenaline from head to toe? That’s what I felt when I saw the news about Chadwick Boseman. I was on twitter, so I took a breath and thought “That’s GOT to be an awful prank”, despite… Continue reading On Chadwick Boseman
I went to the movies today for the first time since we saw Bloodshot back in March. Part of me was giddy – I love going to the movies, and I certainly don’t get out of the house to do much that excites me often these days. As with everything else, this isn’t a return… Continue reading Movies in the Time of Covid-19
I meant to write about this a little while ago – I wanted to wait until I had the whole story, and then time just got away from me. Since we’ve been Gwen’s humans, every now and again, she pees on our bed. It is insanely frustrating, even more so when, for whatever reason, she… Continue reading To Gwen, or Not to Gwen
Here we are, another month in the year that no one asked for. (I know that sounds grim, but really, did you have global pandemic on your wish list? If you did, we need to talk.) I read fewer books this month, but more than made up for it in tv watching. I’m not sure… Continue reading Monthly Media Roundup – July 2020
This is a recipe that, admittedly, I haven’t made in a while. But it’s a much beloved recipe, for sure. The recipe is supposed to make a two layered cake, but honestly, I’m known to just make a 9×13 and then pile the peanut butter, bananas, and whipped cream right on top. It’s easier for… Continue reading Elvis Cake Recipe
My friend De got me a subscription to these Silk + Sonder planners, and I have fallen in love. They are gorgeous, and have monthly themes (July is Passion), and prompts, and a very nice balance of guided material and open space to play with. Plus, there’s a Facebook community to help generate ideas –… Continue reading Of Silk + Sonder
