They say change takes time. It also takes Pepto Bismol, apparently.

On the Tenth Day of Blogmas: Christmas For Adults
I’m a morning person. I love the quiet stillness of early dawn, especially when it’s still dark outside. I like to sit back with a cup of earl grey tea and listen to music that feels warm. I’ll open my Vera Bradley planner and make a list; the list typically begins with reasonable tasks but…

On the Ninth Day of Blogmas: Winter Solstice
Today marks the true start of winter: the day that earth tilts furthest from the sun. It was the shortest day and longest night of the year, although I was none the wiser to its brief luminosity or everlasting darkness.

On The Fourth Day of Blogmas: Under the Weather
I’m currently playing the game of, “did I sleep with my mouth open all night, or this the beginning of a blasphemous cold?” The fatigue has rendered me fairly useless for a delectable blog tonight. As I type this, my eyes are closing — but I will carry on tomorrow with a blog of epic…

On the Third Day of Blogmas: Where Are You Christmas?
I hate to say it, but I’m not feeling the Christmas spirit this year. Jaded adults like to say that this is simply a symptom of adulthood: the holidays lose their magic. But I don’t buy into that belief. I don’t think Christmas has lost its magic. And I don’t think I’ve lost my magic,…
