Restaurant Style Guacamole At Home
Happy National Guacamole Day! I’m going to tell you something that may surprise you. I don’t like avocados. I just don’t understand the point! They’re flavorless mush. Yeah, healthy fat and all that, but really? What’s the hype? Maybe that’s why I was able to afford my house. I’m one of those millennials who didn’t […]

Paper Towns by John Green
After reading The Fault in Our Stars, I became obsessed with John Green. I picked up as many of his books (second hand) as I could. I also read An Abundance of Katherines and it was terrible. I had higher hopes for Paper Towns since the world had seen fit to turn it into a […]
Artemis by Andy Weir
For starters, thank you Alli for being my Secret Santa and gifting me Artemis! It has been on my #TBR for a while now. Alli is also a member of our company book club. It’s my first read by Andy Weir, but now I definitely want to grab The Martian. The Story Artemis takes place […]
Friday Five: July 2019
Phew. It’s been a minute since I gathered my #FridayFive. Life really gets away from you when you’re traveling and buying a house and moving in and decorating and…damn. I feel like I’ve both done a lot and very little all at the same time. My New House Yay! I love my new house! It […]
