The more we travel, the more we find our groove. My goal is to get myself down to a small carry-on no matter where I go or for how long. We really don’t require that much, I seem to be able to make it through my weeks at home with very little clothing and supplies […]
Even though I reject most of what society tells me to do and be as a woman – I’m not polite when it’s demanded of me and unwarranted, I don’t often shave or wear a bra, make-up is reserved more for special occasions rather than a daily occurrence – even still, physically aging is a strange thing that always […]
I recently wrote about my feelings on Baltimore, sometimes I like to play tourist in my hometown and other times I just try to cope with existing here. I have my regular spots that greet me on weekend mornings with a big cozy latte or afternoon destinations for mother & son dates. I know […]
Baltimore. The city I’ve called home for the last 15 years, the same amount of time I’ve been planning my escape from her city lines. Arriving here the summer before my emotionally uncomfortable high school journey, I’ve made two previous attempts at leaving this city behind for good. Both were with less than ideal people […]
I’ve always been a sweets-for-breakfast person, which I blame being raised on chocolate cake and brownies for breakfast or the sugariest cereals that only passed for cereal based on their location in the grocery store.

Growing up in an Italian household pasta was a diet staple, always served with a slow simmered homemade sauce. I knew I was really in for a special treat when I saw Mom’s lasagna go into the oven. I wish I could say I carried on the tradition of a Sunday sauce that simmered on […]
Welcome to my first anxiety-fueled Periscope! I deliberately did this as early as I could on a Wednesday, hoping that nobody would join in as I broadcast live, alas, a few people did but I was really appreciative of the interaction even though I was rendered incapable of responding properly. I was only going to […]
I recently completed a somewhat accidental 10 day sugar-free stint. When I say sugar-free, I don’t just mean the white stuff, that is already a pretty rare occurrence in my life these days. I mean any sweetener of any kind aside from whole fruit. No maple syrup. No rice bran syrup. No coconut sugar or […]
No matter how trite or cliche it may be, Valentine’s Day comes around every year. Regardless of our current relationship status, it can give us that little nudge to celebrate the love in our lives just a little more than we do any other day of the year. We celebrated this year with a brunch […]
