Buckle up for some humblebragging. I could read before kindergarten. In fact, when I went into kindergarten, I once got in trouble for reading the teacher’s lesson plans. THAT WERE IN CURSIVE. In first grade, during reading time, the teacher sent me to the class with fourth- and fifth-graders to read with them. All throughContinue reading “Forever a bookworm”

Land of the free
For the longest time, I thought that “And have a great day” was part of our national anthem. Why? Because that’s what we heard over the morning announcements after it played in elementary school. Without fail, as soon as the last words of the anthem were sung, Mr. Haller came over the intercom and simplyContinue reading “Land of the free”
How That Vegetarian Thing is going
If you are a frequent or even sometimes reader of this blog, you know that since January 1 I have been living a meatless existence. I’ve been a pescetarian. Or, if you’re my mom and don’t fully listen all the time when I tell you things, a “presbyterian.” Even though I really am that, too.Continue reading “How That Vegetarian Thing is going”
A farewell to cheese
Due to my body’s decision that it no longer can handle cheese, there are some lifestyle changes that have to be made.

Not that it’s not aContinue reading “A farewell to cheese”

If we’re being 100-percent honest here, I had this blog planned way before Dad commented on a post and said he’d be down to get me a camera for Christmas if he was featured in more posts. In fact, I should have written this during the summer, when Chef Dad was at the grill inContinue reading “Chef Dad”
All royal and whatnot
Day 2. We’ve still got a ways to go, kiddos. You’re gonna get tired of this. Or you’re gonna love it. And if that’s the case, I will gladly take that love and support and maybe even money? and use it to move to London and get a job as a tour guide on aContinue reading “All royal and whatnot”
Dazzled by the pudds
You guys, people say England isn’t known for its food. And to that, I say, “Pshaw,” on account of some of the best food I’ve ever eaten I had when I was in England. For reals. England should be known for its deliciousness. And, because we are American, we took pictures of pretty much everythingContinue reading “Dazzled by the pudds”
20. Family
Today, as is tradition every year on the weekend before Christmas, my family had their annual Christmas party. There’s always a TON of food – and by ton I mean RIDICULOUS AMOUNTS – and we do a white elephant gift exchange. This year there were 30 people that had to steal presents from each otherContinue reading “20. Family”
