The joy of skiing. Sometimes I shock even myself with how much I love skiing. It’s honestly such a pain: layers and special socks and what boots to wear pre- and post- ski boots and layers after ski and how to keep your hair from freezing and hauling all the gear and stuffing your pockets…
We’ve now had our lil cabin in Colorado for a year—hard to believe!—and are gearing up to spend the last two weeks of the year in that cozy, beautiful place. Here are the top ten things I’m looking forward to doing in the wonderful little town of Idaho Springs. Note: this doesn’t include skiing (Loveland!)…
I love the rain. There was a 12% chance of rain this morning, but it’s been sprinkling all day and it’s dark and cold and cozy. I’m finishing The Paris Affair and while it started slowly, I don’t want it to end, even though I think I know how it does, now. I almost wish…

Thank you, blog readers, for sticking with me this past year as I very erratically posted. I love blogging and always will, but there’s a lot in question as to mediums, who is reading (I’m pretty sure I can name all of you 😉 lol), and if it’s even worth it? It is. Sporadic, as…
One of my favorite things about my bachelorette party was the night we had a fancy chef cook for us—clad in matching Gap Vintage Soft sweatsuits, embroidered with their nicknames. So this season, I was more than ready to pick up a sweater set, despite the fact that it’s still 90 degrees in Texas. I…
This past weekend, I played 22 hours of volleyball—drilled, more accurately. My doubles partner and I attended Better at Beach’s 3-Day Mini Camp and it was some of the most fun I’ve had playing volleyball in a long time. I learned SO MUCH, and have so much to work on now, not the least of…
