All Natural
As you know, my husband and I recently went on a two week vacation. Since we were camping the whole time, I made the decision to not bring any makeup along. Now, it’s not that I typically wear a ton of makeup but I definitely […]

When Siblings Become Parents
Get ready for a post about that life milestone that I’m sure is crowding everyone’s newsfeeds more and more these days, parenthood. I married into a family where kids were already the main event; my husband’s two siblings had two kids a piece when we […]
Condition of the Month: October Distractions
We’ve all been a little (try a lot) distracted this month, so rather than scrap our monthly condition post we’ve just decided to post it now (very, very late) and talk about the things that distract us. <>><<>><<> Man oh man am I busy. That’s […]
I Come From a Land of Hoarders
This summer I took a 3 week trip to the U.S., much of which was spent staying with my family or my husband’s family. It was fun. It was a memorable trip. It was just swell. But… I think I’m finding it increasingly difficult to […]
A Milestone In My Life: Reconnecting With Him Ten Years Later
So there was this guy. I know, I know, for as single as I am (hint: very) I write about boys a disproportional amount. How many crushes and almosts can a girl really talk about before her friends start to worry? But, please, bear with […]
Park Love
I’m writing this from my phone as I sit in the lobby of a hotel I’m not staying at, because it’s the only place near Bryce canyon that has a tv showing Monday night football. And I am blissfully happy. Getting away is just what […]
Over Half My Friends are Significant Others
Well, the wedding is over. Deep breath. I easily spent half of my summer working on crafts and support from my friend’s wedding and now that it’s done I feel more than exhaustion, I feel relief. My time is my own again! And while I […]
Where Do I Go From Here?
I know everyone is probably sick of hearing me post about work. But unfortunately, it continues to be the eternal thorn in my side. For the longest time, work was stressful because we were so understaffed and I was doing multiple positions by myself. Now […]
Another Post on Teaching
So, as you have all heard, Cinderslut has become a teacher. She’s passed all of her classes, done her student teaching, and landed herself a new teaching job this fall. Many congrats to her! However, this post is about me. It turns out that two […]
Condition of the Month-September
As the weather cools and the air starts to crisp, the princesses are starting to think about the change of seasons. I often find Fall to be one the most contemplative times of the year for me. So this month, we talk about the seasons […]
Wedding Planning Should be a Team Sport
I’ve been a bridesmaid before. We’ve made the invites, taken the photos, planned the parties, and so much more, but something about this summer’s bridesmaid duties has felt off. You’d think I’d have gotten the hang of it by now, seeing as this is my […]
School’s Out…Of its Mind!
Hey guys—I’m officially employed again! This week I started work at my new school, an international school in middle-of-nowhere, Middle East. I’ve ridden this rodeo before, so to speak, as far as working at international schools goes, but this here is a horse of a […]
