Things of Note:
This post is coming to you from the wilds of Carolina! Ok, not really the wilds. Actually my sister’s house in North Charleston. The family folk from my side are gathering here for Christmas. ⅔ of us are here already, with the remaining people arriving tonight. I get to see my mom, sisters, uncle, and adorable squishy nephew! I’m looking forward to this week. There will be lots of hanging out, good food, nephew cuddles, and holiday cheer. As it should be. 🙂
What are your plans for Christmas?

Book vs. Movie: The Martian
This pairing might hold the record for the shortest time frame in which I both read the book and saw the movie. The book version was my transatlantic read on the way back from our honeymoon, and then we went and saw the movie that first weekend back home. Less than a...

Things That Kept Me Sane During Wedding Planning
I don't know if you've picked up on this here over the past few months, but wedding planning was a lot of work. A lot of exciting but stressful work. Between that and running my own business, I had a lot on my plate. Occasionally (frequently) I needed to just...

Well this is the best news I've had all week: A Scientific Breakthrough Could Make Your Wine into Hangover-Free Magic. Followed immediately by not-good news: A giant ancient virus was just uncovered in melting ice — and it won’t be the last. And some...
