Let me paint you a picture. Actually, scratch that, let’s start with what happened to me when I discovered a blogger/writer called The Pioneer Woman. It was early 2010. My friends Matt and Jessica told me they had seen this awesome lady on TV, promptly visited her blog and informed me I must do the...
There were tornado warnings yesterday, and although no tornado actually came to visit us, we did get some serious rain and wind. What is old news for most people who live, well, anywhere where there’s weather, was insanity for us SoCal kids. Please excuse the red face… I had just gotten back from running sprints....
Last weekend #3 had plans with friends (the nerve!) so I decided to make a scrumptious dinner for just Mr. G and I at home. Those of you who have been loyal Kristin fans (I appreciate you!!) may remember when I focused a dinner party around Thomas Keller’s Bouchon cookbook. I decided to break into...
Inspired mostly by recent episodes of Oprah’s “Behind the Scenes” series – which airs on Friday nights on OWN in case you, like me, have nothing to do on Friday nights but watch the Oprah network… anyway, in light of this, I am adding a new category to the blog: Favorite Things. There’s only one...
As many of you know, a few months ago we relocated from San Diego to Little Rock for a temporary assignment. Lately I have been feeling a lot of sadness. It makes sense. We’re in a weird stage of life that not many people experience. But it’s hard to admit when things are sad. Admitting...

While the rest of the country (or at least the parts we consider home) is soaking up the sunshine, Arkansas has been doused with snow the past few days! Here’s the thing about being doused by snow when you’re in a land that is not used to getting snow: everything comes to a skreetching halt....
And by TK I mean Thomas Keller. I decided to give him that nickname because I’m pretty sure we’d be friends if we ever met. Like those kind of friends where one person (me) is slightly obsessed with the other (Thomas Keller) and then the other winds up getting a restraining order because you’re a...
Cleaning Out My Fridge Challenge Part 1. Here are the current contents of my fridge and freezer. I also have a good amount of staples (flour, sugar, some canned tomatoes)in the pantry but decided not to add those to the list because it would get REAL boring REAL quick. Fridge: A little bit of 2%...
I am suffering from a little bit of writer’s block, which Glenn thinks would be an entertaining thing to write about. Umm, Glenn… what would I write since COMING UP WITH THINGS TO WRITE is what I’m having a hard time doing?! Just one sentence? I have writer’s block. There. Done. Blog entry finished. Pardon...
