Quarantine Confessions, Part 2
The last few weeks have been exponentially more exhausting than I could have imagined just three short months ago.
Tidings of Comfort and Joy

Scrolling through my Instagram feed, I always pause on a satisfying before/after DIY home project, often finding both the inspiration and confidence to tackle my next home refresh.
Quarantine Confessions, Part 1
This whole quarantine, work-from-home, social-distancing phase has brought on a lot of stress, strange rituals and other coping behaviors in all of us.
Stitches in Time
Sewing is my new coping mechanism.
Remembering NorthTown Mall’s teen fashion retailers of the mid-2000s
Getting nostalgic for the popular tween/teen fashion retailers of the late 90s and early aughts.

I Got my Cat’s DNA Tested
I was far less interested in the secrets of my own DNA than to discover my cat’s much more mysterious genetic ancestry. My partner and I have always believed that our 8-year-old Dellie has some Maine Coon in her blood.
More Than Meets the Eye
An unlikely entity has taken me fully into its fold. I’m completely obsessed with the Transformers.
O, Tannenbaum
The stories and connections assigned to each ornament on my tree are layers of happy nostalgia displayed in physical form.
