A field guide to growing up without growing apart
For this month’s COTM I’ve asked my fellow princesses how they feel about the words YES and NO. Which one do we say more of and how has that changed over our lifetime? This is a fundamental question I’ve thought a lot about in the […]
I love learning about people’s quirks. Everyone has a million little things that make them unique. So I thought we would explore that a little further this month. I asked the princesses to talk about a unique passion that they have. What something that we […]
To me, it’s always seemed like the story of Cinderella has a pretty obvious theme – it is better to be kind than cruel. Sure Ever After stretched this into more of a be intelligent and inclusive idea and the Disney cartoon is pretty heavily […]
Hey there 20 somethings! I know, I know– t’s been a long time! Sorry for that. Ariel was in charge last month and instead of doing her duty to the blog she was running around Norway with friends. Can you say troll-ific? Anyway, at last […]
Driving is one of my least favorite things about being a grown up. In Seattle I didn’t have a car. I lived on the busses and trains, walking to friends’ houses, work and grocery stores everyday for years. And while I admit that walking is […]

I don’t know if I’m happy. I’ve been working really hard the last few months at a new job and it feels really good. I like the concept of the company; I like the odds that it will succeed – setting me up with some […]
Recap: This month has been busy, and I’m not sure exactly what to write about in this post. I’ve learned a ton and felt both confused and secure in equal parts, but in all life is good and I’m glad to be where I am. Mostly. […]
Two weeks ago I wasn’t doing well. I was unemployed, broke, and completely at a loss of what to do next. My confidence was dismal from all the job rejections and my roommate had just gotten a dog even though she knew I was allergic. […]
I was called for jury duty last week and it got me thinking, how important are laws to you? For this month’s COTM I’ve asked the princesses to think about their personal biases and how much they affect their upholding of the law. I hadn’t […]
