Each year, around September, I begin brainstorming that year's holiday decor. Moodboards are pieced together on Pinterest, showing topiaries made of tangerines, Aerin Lauder's New York home, gifts wrapped in a multitude of coordinating papers... This year, my heart settled on really decking out ...
To the Fathers
There's something to be said about the men in our lives. The ones who held our hands as we learned to walk, who handed us the keys to an old Oldsmobile on a Sunday afternoon when we were 14. There's a strength in an opinion unmarred by fluff, and heart-to-hearts against a stubbly cheek.
There's ...
The Brunch Bunch Does Derby
I'm not sure how it started. A couple of us thought we may need a quick outside-the-office meeting every few weeks or so to discuss our goals, air any grievances, and encourage one another through life. After so many months, we brought on a couple more members, changed our group chat name to a ...

Sprung a Leek
If I'm being honest here, I've not always been a fan of vegetables. I grew up on a farm, and had way too many forced feedings of turnips and cabbage cooked down within an inch of their life. I loved the sweet corn though, and green beans when they were cooked just enough to still be snappy. I was ...

Bellaire: The End, Part 1
I've been known- on occasions- to surprise the heck out of people with decisions I've made. Whether it was the time I came home the day before prom with my waist-length hair chopped into a tiny pixie cut, or the mid-April afternoon in 2006 when I went for groceries and came home with a new ...
Good Gall-y
It was the Sunday before Derby... I was supposed to meet a girlfriend the next night at Nouvelle for pre-Derby Bubbly and nosh, anxious to get the season started. I remember getting a weird feeling in my belly as I was pulling out of a clients house to head home. It was a pain, yes, but more than ...
Oh, Now I See…
I think I was 5 or so when my parents started to fuss at me for sitting too close to the television. Daddy would be trying to watch UK basketball, and my giant head would be right in the way. I didn't make it into first grade before I started wearing coke-bottle glasses. Coupled with buck teeth ...
