They Don’t Call ‘Em the Trenches for Nothin’
I hired a babysitter today so that I could work with a client, get some food shopping done and, as it turns out, even have a few extra minutes to fill the car with gas and get my eyebrows done. Success! The spa, it was not. But honestly, a few hours alone – even to […]

Green Tomato Stacks with Goat Cheese, Peaches and Balsamic Reduction (Two Ways)

Belonging
For eight years I spent a portion of my summer at Camp Favorite. (Real name. I know.) When I was seven I begged my parents to let me go and they agreed to five nights. By the time I was fourteen I was spending a month there as a Counselor in Training (CIT). I loved […]
