I’m sure a few ladies out there will “Tsk tsk” me over my thoughts on this one, but as I head out tonight with girlfriends for Mexican food and a showing of “Valentine’s Day,” I couldn’t help but share. You see, in every couple’s relationship, there are quirky rules. And one of them in the...

Fighting the flu
“I’llbeokayI’mjustgonnaliedownforaminute.” That’s what I remember telling Nick last night before I flopped over on the couch last night around 7, letting the waves of a nasty flu bug envelope me.
It was that kind of sick where you can’t get up from the sofa, the TV is on the entire time, and you have long stretches...
February Self-Portrait: Reflections on a Birthday
At some point today the clock will turn and tell me it’s my birthday. That on this date, in 1982, I was born. And that I’m now officially 28 years old. (Which, seriously, How did that happen?).
If I could make one wish (because that’s what people tell you to do on your birthday), it’d involve...
What I’m Lovin’ Round-up: Take 2
Here it is crew, another take on what it is I’m loving as of late. And for all of you who’ve stumbled on to my blog in recent weeks, I know it’s been absent of client photos. I promise, I AM still a photographer. And my season will pick up again starting in March. For...
Embracing frugality on this Valentine’s Day
This year, for Valentine’s Day, there will be no cards.
No roses. No jewelry. No fancy meal out.
Instead there will be dreams of macaroons split on a summer afternoon in Paris.
And cake.
Specifically, this cake.
And that, my friends, will be more than enough to satisfy us.

An Open Letter to My Right Index Finger
Dear Right-Hand Index Finger,
First of all, let me apologize. I was in a hurry. Trying to toss the chicken, peppers and onions for those fajitas on a scalding hot skillet AND attempting to multi-task? That was dumb of me. I shouldn’t have tried to cut open that pack of Organic Valley cheddar at the same...
When he’s gone…
I miss the scent of his aftershave that lingers in the bathroom after he gets ready.
I miss the smell of the bacon he fries and the eggs he makes and the way he sits perched on a barstool reading the newspaper each morning.
I miss hearing him laugh in the other room over some ridiculous Internet...
A snowstorm is perfect when …
You desperately needed a reminder from God that for all the other days winter is a pain in the butt, there are a few that can still leave you in wonderment.
You have a Subaru Outback with four-wheel-drive your husband wants to test out on the roads shouting “I LOVE THIS CAR!” as he plows through...
Give me 24 hours in Ann Arbor …
And I’LL SEE:
A vibrant campus town crawling with college students who LOVEEEEEE their Urban Outfitter. (Seriously, U of M students take fitting this store’s mold of hipster seriously — we popped in while they were having a 10 percent discount sale and you would have thought they were giving away the store.)
A beautiful Big Ten...
It’s an honor to be nominated — FOR REAL IT IS
If you pay attention to this kind of stuff (and boy do I!), you know yesterday was the day they announced the nominees for this year’s Academy Awards. You know how the tech kids were all aflutter over last week’s news of the iPad? Well, that’s how I get when it comes time for film...
