It's my birthday! Wheee! I honestly thought that by now I'd be the very picture of poise and grace, or at least, I would have figured out how to stop being such a spaz. Guess not.... Let me tell you a story... In the spring of 2009, I found myself at an impasse. I was … Continue reading day 27 | Two roads
I've decided to blame everything that happened last Wednesday on my friend, Michele. It's not really fair, but neither is life. Michele is an accomplished baker and specializes in making cupcakes. Honestly, she specializes in making everything, but I've had her cupcakes and they are ridiculous. She pinned this Neapolitan Cupcake recipe from Cooking Classy on Pinterest. … Continue reading day 26 | It’s not a party until someone’s crying in the bathroom…
Happy Memorial Day! 1) It was an emotional roller coaster of a weekend [more on that later] as I celebrated my birthday with a small fraction of my family. Though our numbers were small, I got to spend time with my oldest brother. Growing up, I barely knew him at all, as our age difference … Continue reading day 25 | Monday Musings | of family ties, customer service, and a moment of remembrance…
There's been a thing on my heart - so here it is. Being a twenty-something is absurdly transitional. Some days I feel like I'm waiting for my real life to start. I'm stuck in this place where I can actually remember when the class of 2015 was born and I'm going a bit gray, but I … Continue reading day 24 | On being young
I'm not having an actual birthday party this year, aside from a tiny family get together this afternoon (the get together is tiny, my family is normal-sized, just to be clear), so I decided to throw myself a little virtual party. All the glamour, none of the clean up, and I don't have to wear pants. … Continue reading day 23 | Virtual Party Planning
Summer is coming. I thought that summer was here, but then it rained for two and a half days and the temperature dropped by 15 degrees, so it's anyone's guess. For the time being, I'm back to hoping for warm weather! In that spirit, I've compiled my favorite internet finds to get prepped for summer! 1) Love my … Continue reading day 22 | Favorite Things Friday | Summer Time!
I have the unique, um...privilege? good luck? I dunno...of having a late May birthday. The benefit of the late spring/early summer birthday is that it coincides with the end of the school year and Memorial Day, the unofficial start of summer. When I was a little kid, I kind of thought that everyone got the … Continue reading day 21 | Birthday Memories
I started The adventures of EveryGirl four years ago. The first original post went live on June 29, 2011. It was a review of the film Stranger than Fiction, which is still one of my favorites. Seven people viewed the post. I'm pretty sure that at least 3 of them were me. 200 posts later, here … Continue reading day 20 | A look back

1) In one of my many jobs, I work for my dear and sweet friend Kristi who is, in addition to being an awesome mom and volunteer of the year at her daughter's elementary school, a therapist. Today, I was sitting in the office, tap tap tapping away at the keyboard as a waded through the … Continue reading day 18 | Monday Musings | of the boss lady, and doing what the kids do…
