1. Maus I: A Survivor's Tale: My Father Bleeds History by Art Spiegelman - My book club read this graphic novel this month. I felt like it was one of the best discussions we've ever had and there was so much we found thought provoking and moving. It is very intense and I've thought about it a lot in the weeks since. I definitely want to read Part...

I spent the last week at my parent's house in Texas. My brother and sister-in-law were there as well with their kids for a little summer break, and I left feeling completely full of love for this wonderful family I get to be a part of.We didn't do anything especially grand. I worked several days from my dad's office and admired all of the tchotchkes...

I got sick last week and I've been completely thrown off my routine. Four days in my pajamas will do that to me, so this weekend has been a bit of a reset. I did a bunch of chores around the house, ran a slew of errands I was putting off, and I'm feeling much more like myself. I've had more than one summer cold this year and I'm just sick of it.Wimbledon...

1. Heartless Hunter by Kristen Ciccarelli - This was FUN. A young adult novel about a witch and witch hunter that I was not sold on until my sister-in-law convinced me I would like it, and she was right. So fun, took me no time to read, and I'm holding out on reading the second book just to savor this a little longer.2 & 3. The Unselected...

Several weeks ago, I heard about a Jane Austen exhibit at the Morgan Library in New York. I booked a train up for a day, and visited earlier this month and it was just lovely! I had never been to the Morgan before. Honestly it's very small & expensive, so unless there's an exhibition that's particularly interesting, I'm not sure I would recommend...

This one is my favorite right now.I checked out Molly Baz's cookbook, Cook This Book, from my library and I'm loving making her recipes. Very attainable and super flavorful.On Thursday, I woke up feeling...

Most work days, I do my makeup first thing when I sit at my desk in my office.My work makeup bag is pretty simple: concealer, mascara, eyebrow gel, a random assortment of lip products, tweezers, and a compact mirror/foldable hairbrush that I have owned since 2005. (I can still remember buying it from Claire's with my friends in the 7th grade on a ΜΑΘ...

1. Happiness Falls by Angie Kim - This was our book club book for the month and I really liked it! The story follows a father who goes missing and a family's search for answers. Angie Kim is a local author, so we invited her to attend our book club and she came! She was a delight - so generous with her process and her vision for the story, told...

I went to New York one week ago to see Maybe Happy Ending and it was more than worth the trip. FANTASTIC! Truly obsessed. I've been listening to the music nonstop.Loved this feature on famous people in their living rooms.I made a chicken pot pie last week that made me absurdly happy every night when I eat it for dinner. This week, it was a bean and...

I watched the pro shot of Next to Normal on PBS this week and I was absolutely floored. The story is about the Goodman family dealing with tragedy and mental illness.I encountered this musical for the first time when I was in college, and I was obsessed for quite some time. I checked my blog archives and found three separate mentions, all in March...
