As some of my friends know, there is irony behind my blog’s name. Although I named it after my blesséd pups, I’m not always their biggest fan. Deacon, Lucy and Cooper […]

I am so so so happy! Meggie and I are officially moved into our apartment. First off, Meg and I are about the two laziest motivators in the world. I […]

Once in a blue moon, alright, three times in the course of a week, I need to take a chill pill. Unfortunately, there is no true, actual, real chill pill, […]

I have returned from the sunny beaches of Mexico! Both sadly, and also happily. Sad to be back in the cold New England weather– although my Bostonian friends would beg […]

My Grandma, Noni– which apparently means beautiful woman in some […]

In the wake of watching the first few episodes of “Making a Murderer”, I have texted a huge number of my fellow “Serial” and “The Jinx” followers. I love true […]

At the age of three, there was nothing I wanted more than a Sleeping Beauty Barbie. I had braved Mall Santa’s lap, stoically avoided crying hysterically, and breezily requested one […]

I rarely find myself in possession of comfortable and appropriate Winter weather clothing. As my friend Em knows, I am the least prepared Winter dresser. That is a seriously accurate assertion. […]

I want all of these dresses. Right now. Today. Forever and always. They are so the perfect mix of conservative and…sassy? They’re an investment, but I feel like they’d totally work for […]

I distinctly remember that two nights before my grandfather— known as Gramps— passed away, he was watching the movie “Giant.” Or rather, the movie “Giant” was playing in the background […]

I have this rather unappealing quality in that I really don’t like the concept of a world that I’m part of continuing without me. For example, when I left for […]

I’ve really been making an effort to embrace the Holiday spirit this year. There’s something about the last few years of college decisions and finals that have come to overpower […]
