This morning, the leaf mobile found a friend. I’ll show it to you in a second. First, you should know, I’m listening to this song and drinking Nespresso on the floor in front of the fireplace. Whiskey and I are wondering if the rain will lighten up long enough to go for a walk before [...]

I am surrounded by 30-year old men! Happy Birthday, Jay and Matt! (Note: Jay turned 30 a few days ago, hence the red eyes). Happy Halloween to the rest. Jen

The other night we came home to a courtyard full of glowing pumpkins. This one was my favourite. The only problem (as you can see) was I couldn’t quite figure out the flash on my camera. I think after we get back from Mexico, I will take a photography course. Any suggestions? Until then, I [...]

Meet my parents. I love them. Today is their birthday. Yes, both of them. 9 year’s apart, but born on the same day. That is a sign, if I’ve ever heard one. I like to imagine when they found out (was it the second date? the third?), there was no other choice in the world but to [...]

Don’t ask how I found this article. How does anyone find anything on the internet these days but by strolling around with their jeans rolled up, wading ever deeper into some endless grade of ocean, while never quite getting in over their heads? I found this article and it struck me hard as exactly what I’d want to see if I [...]

To finish Thursday’s sleep-in somewhere like this. Bury limbs under heavy quilts that smell like pine. Prop ourselves up on pillows, rest the spines of books on each others backs. Lost in scarves, hats, mittens, if we need them. Later, two steamy lattes in hand, walk whiskey down the long road to the pace of [...]

Yes, I bought it. Yes, I love it. Yes, I will run home every day for the next two weeks to check my mailbox. Yes, I sometimes wonder if Michelle Brusegaard thinks she’s as fabulous as I think she is. Yes, there are others: Believe me, your girlfriend, sister, best friend, mother, etc would like [...]

Dear Ash, I made an executive decision, pending your response. Kat’s coming over, we’re making spicy black bean burgers, you will love me, even when it’s hard. Love, Jen
