When I was a little girl, I used to have quite a vivid imagination. Like, really vivid. If I wasn’t taping down light switches, carrying around a kerosene lantern and making my sisters wake up at 5am to churn butter in a decorative butter churner my mother bought in Lancaster, PA (yes, you guessed it: …
I’m not really in the field of giving personal advice, which most people should be very grateful for! But every so often something from my work life teaches me a lesson that I can use in other aspects of ma vie déjantée. Semi-recently I decided to stop playing off the whole self employed as a …
After a twelve hour journey door to door, you better end up somewhere worth the long queues, airplane food (although Virgin Atlantic is better than most, I will say) and jet lag. While the holidays at my house can be extraordinarily hectic (I’m sure you can say the same of yours), its always worth the …
I’m going to go off script a little bit like I did when I ruminated about loss and just write about something I’ve been thinking about for a while: what it means to really let go of something. Loss can come when you least expect it, and you may or may not have a choice …
I love touristing in my own city- Rai’s showing me around in Rio quickly turned me on to the many merits of being a tourist at home. One of the many places I have yet to go in London is Greenwich. Although I failed to really understand the concept of the prime meridian (!!!) until …

This culminates in a mad dash most mornings, where the most I get for breakfast is a piece of half-toasted bread …
Edit: Garston Grenne, you’re made date to BdN this year. Excited to see you at the event! We’ll post tons of pictures so everyone else can feel like they’re right there with us! Remember a while ago when I told you all about my new obsession, the Junior League of London? I recently joined this …
Alas, fall is finally upon us. I spent one of the last beautiful summer-like Sunday mornings we had in London wandering around Primrose Hill in my favorite summer sundress, enjoying the rays, flowers and blue skies. I’m in love with my new neighborhood. I had always heard that the view of the city from Primrose …
I don’t usually do posts like this but.. what’s the point of being a blogger if you can’t use the blogger community to gather support around you when you need it?! I just joined the Junior League of London, a charitable organization devoted to building stronger communities through service. I’m meeting lots of new friends …
