I am lucky in a thousand ways this summer. And one of them is that I get to help host a Secret Mission for the Dream Lab at Mondo Beyondo. Here’s what it is: My friends at Mondo Beyondo want to inspire folks to create guerilla goodness in the world–acts of kindness or love that help […]
Dear Jamie Oliver, I am enjoying your show. And while I may never truly recover from watching you make a chicken nugget by putting a carcass in a food processor, bones and all, and then squeezing the goo through a strainer–I do feel like sharing that moment with you somehow made me a better person.

Get Lucky is a novel about many different things, but one of them is sisters. I have two sisters, myself–I’m the middle one–and so I know a lot about the subject. Here’s a book trailer I made using my mom’s Super 8 home movies of us as children. The redhead who’s working so hard on […]

It’s my 9-year wedding anniversary this week. (Nine years married, fifteen together.) And so, a nine-best ode to my awesome husband. Here are nine great things about him — though, really, I could go on and on: 9. The mustache. 8. The pants. 7. The way he is so completely stoked to have a wife […]
