With spring in full force, it’s time to break out your sunglasses. Unfortunately, not all sunglasses are created equal. What I mean is, there are certain styles that work better for certain occasions. For instance, you wouldn’t wear your playful retro sunnies to an outdoor wedding ceremony, nor would you wear your seven dollar aviators on your way to an interview. So today we’re going to break down the world of sunglasses so you’ll never have to wonder, “Do these…

Hello! I hope you’re having the most wonderful day. I have the quickest ever giveaway and show information for Listen To Your Mother for this week’s show in Utah. I’ve shared on social media, but I don’t think I’ve officially shared here yet. A handful of months ago I auditioned an original monologue to be a part of a national show called Listen To Your Mother, and I’m so happy I did because I made the cut and am performing…

Everywhere I look, women are doing something awesome. I mean well and truly cool, inspiring, life changing kinds of things. It’s no secret I think women are amazing. I talk often about my phenomenally fierce mother and grandmother, and my posse of talented and strong girlfriends. Women rule, the end. I love dudes too, don’t get me wrong. I’m married to the coolest guy I know, and my own father and brothers are great guys. But today we’re talking about…

Zucchini are by far one of the most versatile veggies, and their peak season goes from June through late August – so, now is the time to stockpile zucchini recipes (if there ever was a time for that). This is one of my favorite summer recipes for enjoying the lovely, green, balloon-shaped goodness. Ingredients (to make about 14 quesadillas): 2 medium zucchini ½ a medium yellow onion 1 Tb. butter or olive oil 8 to 10 oz. goat cheese 14…

About a year ago, one of my good friends and I were dreaming about her and her daughter traveling to South Africa one day to visit us. She said, “Can you promise me that I won’t see a snake?” Uh, negatory. First of all, what is it with people associating Africa with snakes? They don’t just dwell on the African plains. North America is home to rattlesnakes, something you don’t want to have an encounter with. Unfortunately, this post isn’t…

I’ve love to read. I told you last week just how much I love reading. It’s a huge part of my life. I’ve always read. In fact, I don’t remember not reading, although because of my education, I’m told I didn’t read in English until after the 3rd grade. I was in a Spanish-Immersion program throughout Elementary School. All day, every day, from the time I was 5 years old, I was completely immersed in Spanish in my classroom. Every…

THANK YOU. Seriously, thank you the most. From the deepest place in my heart, thank you. It’s a bit scary to put yourself out there, really super out there, like I did last week when I wrote about how I’m figuring out the purpose of life. Being vulnerable is awesome, and also terrifying, but you made it terrifyingly awesome by your response to me opening up. Thank you for all the texts, comments, and emails about how that post resonated…

I’ll just put this out there: epic lip sync battles are my new guilty pleasure. In case you aren’t familiar with this viral sensation, they started out as a segment on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, and have since exceeded all expectations. Guests like Will Ferrel, Blake Shelton, and Emma Stone brought down the house, as does Jimmy Fallon himself on more than one occasion. Seriously guys, it’s some pretty hysterically funny stuff. Emma Stone kills it in this…

This post was meant to be about the books I’m loving reading right now, but it evolved into a post I’ve been writing in my head for a long, long time. It’s about reading and books as much as it’s about living, and figuring out the purpose of life. It’s patently obvious to me in retrospect that figuring out the purpose of life, at least for me, lies in reading the words of others as they reflect myself back to…
