Happy Monday! It’s hard to believe another weekend is over, and that it’s almost February! The past few days have been exceptionally quiet for me as I continue to recover from a pretty bad illness that has lasted way too long. This required a lot of saying ‘no’ to various opportunities to go out and…

Happy Monday! I hope you had restful and fun weekend (or at least one of those). I spent most of the weekend doing as little as possible; somehow I managed to get sick for the second time in two weeks…#thanksimmunesystem. I find it incredibly frustrating when there are so many things I want to do and people…

So I realize it’s been a while since my last article for this segment…#slacking. Between getting sick multiple times over the past few months, the holiday season and life in general, my opportunity to interview men has been limited! In any case I hope not to go so long without another ‘Ask Him’ addition again.…

Monday 5 is back! While it didn’t seem to get huge response in the Fall, a few people have mentioned that they miss the segment and tbh, me too. What I like about it is that it forces me to really think about what I’m excited about and even helps me feel more grateful for those…

“When a man loves a woman, he has to become worthy of her. The higher her virtue, the more noble her character, the more devoted she is to truth, justice, goodness, the more a man has to aspire to be worthy of her. The history of civilization could actually be written in terms of the level…

When I was 12 my parents divorced; even though I knew classmates who had divorced parents, it was one of those things I never thought would happen to me. After I recovered from the initial shock, I told myself it was a normal thing. Whenever someone found out my parents were divorced and said, “I’m…

Looking back on our childhood Christmases I think we can all agree that a huge part of the excitement was the anticipation. Counting down the days as the moment we could finally open our presents grew closer and closer (not the most selfless thing but we were kids okay). Now we know Santa isn’t real (cue…

I think anyone who has seen The Office was touched by this moment: One of the reasons viewers were so attached to Jim and Pam was the long history they had. Their story wasn’t your typical girl-meets-boy scenario we often see in TV and movies today where shortly after a brief meeting the couple either…

Even though getting older can often be a source of anxiety, I’m really excited about it. Probably because I was born middle aged, each year I feel that I’m growing a little more into my personality. I’m especially looking forward to the day I can go to bed at nine and not feel judged for…

I don’t remember when my obsession with American Girls started, however I do remember vividly being excited beyond belief when my mom’s friend Jill lent me a life-sized Josefina skirt I could wear (which mysteriously never made it back to her), and when I got the Samantha night gown, and the Kirsten doll. I recall rushing to the…
