This little house I have in Tempe feels like home. It didn’t for many years. Although I’ve been here for nearly 8, it’s only been in the last few that I put love into where I was living. It was always clean. I always had dinner parties and an...

I crammed a lot of crazy into the last 3 days. First the snip: I know. The photos aren’t great. But the haircut? Well, I’m kinda in love. One day (after having a baby or four), I’m going to suck it up and get the courage to cut my hair exactly as...

This weekend was the Arizona Taco Festival. Even if it had just offered tacos, I’d have been there. But, Dios mio, then I heard about the entertainment — Lucha libre! I knew nothing of Lucha before seeing Nacho Libre. And while it definitely didn’t...

Good news — as of this morning at 7:01 am, Tempe Town Lake is being refilled. Remember when one of the bladders burst earlier this summer? After watching the workers during countless runs around the lake over the last few months, they filled the final bladder...

Finny and I had one of those conversations yesterday that made me realize we think we are domestically invincible. After her trip to Germany, she’s bound and determined to master making great homemade pretzels. Logically, I suggested these would be an excellent...
