Since you last heard from me in this space, I’ve moved three times (DC -> parents’ home in Green Bay, Green Bay -> Madison sublet, sublet -> actual new home), finished seven credits of grad school, spent five weeks hanging out with amazing kids at a local learning center, and have lost or accidentally destroyed three… Continue reading pulling it together

hearty vegetarian eating
I am by no means a strict vegetarian, but I rarely eat meat, especially at home and especially during Lent. As many people lean meatless this time of year on Fridays and also more generally, suddenly I realize that meatless eating doesn’t come as easily if you’re not in the habit. So, since I’m super hungry on Ash… Continue reading hearty vegetarian eating
favorites for summer skin

history nerds, put your hands up
I’m feeling veeery bookish these days. Obviously, I am always pretty bookish, but I’ve been trying to cut down on spending (don’t tell my Sephora cart, which is always full of sheet masks) and consequently have been reading more instead of running around with a credit card. That’s not a fair characterization of my habits, but… Continue reading history nerds, put your hands up
