The FGF post for last week and the week before that, that I missed, was originally titled ‘Colombia’, so retitling this one is easy … my week in Colombia was fantastic, gorgeous, hilarious, and unexpectedly a catalyst for many things. Alongside incredible views, friendly people, and (not enough) delicious food, I discovered more about what…
Y’all there’s too much gratitude for one post! For one week. For one helluva week. It all began with setting up for the baby shower, which honestly was almost as fun as the shower itself as my mom, aunt, and I, with some help from my dad, decorated and tied favors and hung diapers and…
From a colleague meetup to making margaritas to a sun-drenched backyard hang with one of my closest friends, loving seeing her life with her two sons, to a glass of wine on the porch with some parents and allll the deep dish pizza, from Wrigley Field and awesome seats to walking and wandering to incredible…
Per usual as is my brain’s great irony, the title of this post was written BEFORE I forgot to publish it all weekend … it’s a lot to keep up with a weekly gratitude list for almost a decade. But I love it, and it’s important to me, and it’s definitely made my life better…

It’s a rainy, lovely Saturday morning. I have things to do, but I have the luxury of moving slowly, unhurried. It’s great. Grateful for: Hammock. I love a hammock. Anywhere. But in my backyard?! Heaven. Also Heaven? My parents’ porch. I love that place. I especially love it with my extended family, the Teti fam…
This is a story of allergies. Just kidding, except it is … despite being a native, every spring in Austin the allergies KICK MY ASS. I take my daily allergy meds, use my sinus rinse, take all the dirty hippie immune boosters, drink echinacea tea … and still! I had to take a whole damn…
My new go-to question for men on dating apps is “what’s you favorite thing about this week?” … I can’t say it’s more or less successful than any other opener, but to me it’s a pretty easy question because you can describe something that has already happened OR something that is going to happen ……
Y’all. First off, friends that are your champions are the best. This week, in no particular order: Bromance. Part of his championing is definitely not reading this blog so he will never know the nice things I’m about to say but I am just so unbelievably grateful that no matter what, there is a person…
