Fall Foodie: Cheese and Cracker “Pumpkin Pies”

While the title of this post reads like lyrics from the song ‘Home’ by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, I assure you this recipe itself is not nearly as nonsensical. While mindlessly scrolling through my phone the other day and bookmarking some upcoming holiday events and festivals I’d like to check out in the […]

OOTD: The Casual Cardigan

Although I’ve been turning the heat on at night over the past few weeks, it usually gets shut off by the time the sun has risen the following morning and starts warming my apartment on it’s own, and when I go out in the late afternoons or evenings – I’ve rarely needed more than a […]

Crunchy Leaves, Christmas Vibes, and Torrential Downpours…

I tend to celebrate my boyfriend Troy in both big and little ways on an almost daily basis.

A Month to Remember: October 2026

And just like thar – we’ve reached the (almost) end of October! Where does the time go? While I prepare for a night of horror movie marathoning and spooky game playing with friends after work today and then making sure I’ve got enough candy stocked up to hand out to kids in the neighborhood tomorrow […]

A Few of My Favorite Things: October 2026

There’s only a few days left in October, and while I am still unsuccessfully petitioning for the month to be extended an additional thirty-one days (give me a politician who is running on that promise!) I also know I have to get ready to bid it a fond farewell until next year when we meet […]
