What: 7-day Alaskan Cruise Who: Me, the Boy, and certain members of the Boy's Family Our first two and half days of the cruise were spent at sea, making our way from Seattle up to the northernmost point of our route. Unless you feel like gambling or shopping non-stop,...
What I Wore: Minty Fresh
A further venture into the colored denim world: mint jeans! These were admittedly less scary than the bright red ones, and way easier to find things to pair with. I like 'em. This is what I wore yesterday (my blogiversary!) around the house and out to run errands. It...
Blogiversary!! + a Giveaway

Friday Favorites: Fantasy Badasses
I've been scrutinizing characters that I love lately, in order to improve my own writing. It's made me realize that all of the fantasy characters whose series I'm addicted to are pretty bad-ass. I mean, they kind of have to be to survive in their worlds long enough to...
Recipe: Round Steak Sauerbraten
This originally appeared as a guest post over at This Enchanted Pixie. Slow cookers are one of the easiest ways to make a tasty meal, and are especially handy for those days when you know you're going to have a jam-packed evening with no time to cook dinner. This...
