Two years ago, I thought I was just planting some hydrangeas. Maybe adding a bit of curb appeal. Fast forward to now: I am a woman possessed. Not by demons (though that would make for a good Tuesday), but by creepers! No, not the kind that lurk in […]
Every household has its own mythology. In mine, the living room has been invaded by a towering, tail-wagging creature I affectionately call “Godzilla.” Weighing in at 70 pounds of pure joy and oblivious chaos, my big dog believes, without a shadow of a doubt, that he is a […]
Let’s get one thing straight: a horse isn’t climbing a tree anytime soon. Not today, not tomorrow, not even if you bribe it with organic apples and serenade it with Taylor Swift’s latest album. A horse is built to gallop across fields, not swing from branches like a […]
I recently stumbled across a quote I had scribbled down at some point in my life, buried in a note, between grocery lists and half-baked blog titles: “A narrow mind and a fat head invariably come on the same person.”— Zig Ziglar Wait, what? I blinked. Then blinked […]
You ever get that look? That “Are you mad at me?” look. That “Why aren’t you responding to my third message in 30 seconds?” That “You’re being quiet and I don’t like it” energy? Yeah. That one. Well here’s the thing: I’m not being distant. I’m buffering. Like […]
My middle dog doesn’t fake the funk. He’s not trying to win “Most Friendly” at the pup park. He’s not wagging his tail for just anyone. He is who he is: a slightly grouchy, highly discerning, unapologetically real little guy with a face like “Don’t even.” And yet—he’s […]

What’s one small improvement you can make in your life? The other day, while scrolling aimlessly through a carousel of press clips, memes, and motivational coffee mug slogans, I paused. A young athlete, at a press conference, uttered something that I haven’t been able to shake: “When there […]
Is anything sacred anymore? Lately, it feels like Hollywood has made a very specific, very intentional editorial choice: to kill off its main characters. That’s righ! The ones we’ve rooted for, grown with, sometimes hated briefly but always come back to. Gone. Wiped out. Poisoned, ambushed, ghosted by […]
Sometimes the big dog dreams he’s running. His paws twitch. His tail flicks. Sometimes he lets out a soft little “boof” — the sound of chasing something glorious through dog dreamland. Is it a squirrel? A cloud? A giant meatball rolling down the sidewalk? Who knows. But he […]
