This story begins before Valentine's Day. I came home, and my sweet uncle who's way too generous with his time and resources (which I take full advantage of) had bought an enormous bouquet of red roses from Whole Foods, because apparently the Kraken saw them and insisted I needed one. They sat on the mantle … Continue reading Am I Becoming A Witch?

My Rules For The Perfect Library
Like pretty much every other person writing on the internet, I love libraries. I'm genuinely convinced that this is the single most romantic moment in cinema history, and you'll never convince me otherwise: I'm not saying I would ever leave my husband, but if a magical man-beast with fantastic eyebrows ever gives me a library... … Continue reading My Rules For The Perfect Library

Sorry Mom, I’m Broke
Sometimes they all come at you at once. Birthdays. Graduations. Mother's Day. I needed an idea for making multiple thoughtful, heartwarming, hand-made (re: cheap) cards, STAT.
