If you come to my house, chances are you’ll find a candle burning somewhere. The more fragrant the better. I especially love fresh, clean, citrus-y scents. Lately my favorites are the White Barn Candle Company’s Mango Mandarin and Pink Grapefruit,…

I had a ton of guests around last week, so I used the occasion as an excuse to make my favorite sinfully wonderful cake. I invented this recipe myself and it all started because I don’t really like chocolate. I…

New Years UnResolutions

Posted on: January 1, 2009 Last updated on: November 8, 2023 Written by: Reese Dixon
Does anybody ever manage to keep their New Years Resolutions? I’ve never known anyone besides my friend Jess who could actually keep anything going past January. I’ve given up on the idea working for me. Instead I like to think…

Productivity in the Pandemic

I had a different topic for this post in mind, but when I looked up the date and realized we’re almost through May already, I needed to toss it out for a mini-existential breakdown. Whew. Time, eh? I love hearing…
