A Weekend in AC

J and I are spending our weekend here… And seeing this man perform live tonight… Living just 2.5 hours from Atlantic City, my parents used to drag me and my sister here all the time when we were little. Being bored out of my mind on countless occasions has led to my distaste for “America’s […]

Star Wars Yoga

I have never been a fan of yoga — I’ve never had the patience for it as I much prefer high-impact exercises that literally kick my butt into shape. However, Star Wars Yoga is something I may be able to get behind… Created by Matthew Latkiewicz, Star Wars Yoga has been garnering much attention since […]

My Scratch Map

My Scratch Map is a must-have for any avid traveler. Rather than using pushpins to mark the areas you’ve visited, the user scratches off the gold foil to reveal a colorful map underneath. While I would love to get my hands on one of these to hang proudly in my office, I would be too […]

Knitted Dissections

Who knew dissected frogs could look so cute? I always found biology class dissections fascinating, so it comes as no surprise that I was drawn to Etsy seller CraftyHedgehog‘s collection of knitted dissections. Cute yet morbid, the series includes frogs, rats, fetal pigs, bunnies, and alligators. Each creature even comes pinned down in its own dissection […]

I Hate Being Pregnant [Confessions]

Yesterday J asked me when I would like to take my maternity photos. “I don’t know…next month? I don’t really care.” Then I realized…I really do care. But for the wrong reasons. Because the truth of the matter is, I don’t want to take them. Because never have I felt more unattractive in my life. Because […]
