Like Rain on Your Wedding Day (opens the original)
Read excerpt
By the time you read this, something very exciting will have happened. Leah and Erika got officially married at City Hall this morning and I was honored to be their witness. I’ve long thought City Hall weddings are the pinnacle of romance and I was so excited to see it in person. More on this next week, but it’s such a wonderful and loving start to the week.The Nor’easter was mostly underwhelming but it was an excuse to get very cozy. I got lots of Este snuggles (isn’t it the best when it gets s
I Wrote Something...And It’s Not About Food (opens the original)

Hi friends,I’ve hinted at this, but it’s time for the big reveal. This week, I published my first fan fiction with , inspired by their latest release, Never Lasting by Angela Bourassa (a great read). I’ve been a fan of 831 Stories since its launch and I am a longtime fan of Claire Mazur and Erica Cerulo, the company’s founders (I miss their chatty podcast but is always in my inbox).

I’m planning to do tasclich with Jared and finish my 10Q before going to a breakfast with my family friends, who make the best homemade bagels.August was never mine and it was fleeting. I started the month at the Jersey Shore, a perfect place, and traveled to Huntsville, Minnesota, and Wisconsin, with a bonus layover at the Detroit airport, where we had D
A New Year and a Broken Fridge (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Hi friends,Since we last spoke, some things have changed. The biggest one is that my refrigerator and freezer ended their era of functioning and cooling. I’ve been living without either for over a week and a half and it’s been incredibly disruptive (and expensive). So many of my daily pleasures, like an iced americano with coconut water or frozen berries in my yogurt or a nice hunk of cheese as a post work snack, are out of reach. CSA produce is at Leah and Erika’s so it doesn’t wilt and I’ve st
