Room To Thrive

Angie Webb garden tomatoes

Our house used to belong to an avid gardener. He died many years ago, and the yard was not maintained by his spouse, so we know nothing its glory days. But every time we meet a new neighbor, all we hear about is how beautiful it used to be. This guy was extremely detail-oriented. The … Read more

What a Realist Taught Me About Magic

what-a-realist-taught-me

  I’m married to a realist. He just can’t help himself. It’s crucial that every pathway of our lives, every decision, every conversation be grounded in what is true, what can be proven, and what is logical. It’s noble really.

You’ve taken many forms. The “oh it might rain, I should leave my gear in the car” moments. The last straws before surely my husband will file for divorce if I ask him to stop the car for one more glimpse of a sunset or a field of horses. The situations where I’m just tired … Read more

“So what are you going to do now?” “I’m not really sure,” I said. It was May 16th. I was sitting in a really uncomfortable tweed upholstered chair in the company’s signature orange hue. It was my last day at work. I was wearing a skirt that practically showed my ass cheeks. Eff it, it’s my … Read more

ode-to-life-in-650

You were meant to house one person and all their things, you were perfect for that, but in the hustle and bustle of wedding planning, we didn’t have the time or energy to look for somewhere else to go.

I love Instagram and Pinterest. They’re both great places to be inspired by what other people are doing. I love looking at IG and am constantly amazed by how talented and active the creative community is. And I don’t mean to complain, but sometimes I’m frustrated with what I see there, and even though it’s … Read more

I’m realizing more and more that I’m not very good at being uncomfortable. So for an introvert who doesn’t like being uncomfortable, New Year’s Eve has to be quite possibly the worst holiday in existence. The expectation is this: spend $100 on a ticket to a loud overcrowded party full of girls teetering on stilettos … Read more
