People watching is my jam. I find relationships, especially, extremely fascinating. I love looking around a room and observing couples. I wonder how they met, who made the first move, how long they've been together, how many kids they have, what their last argument was about, if they still like each other...the list goes on...

Battlefield
Our entire lives are dictated by which battles we choose. Each of us decides what is worth our time, what arguments are worth having, what people we want to hold on to, what type of love we deserve, when enough is enough and when the fight is crucial to the truth within ourselves...and that's not...

Somebody I used to Know
It's always extremely humbling when something you were so sure about doesn't go according to plan. Whether it's a game, an audition or a relationship, it's never a good feeling to be wrong. It's like wearing the losing team's jersey long after the game is over. Everyone knows things didn't exactly go your way which,... Continue Reading →
The Plus One
For those of you who don't know me, I'm a midwestern handful, sports enthusiast, sarcasm specialist, lover of all things magical and vodka infused, book nerd and wedding connoisseur.

It's my day off and while I'd love to tell you I'm drinking a mimosa while staring whimsically off into the sunset over the Pacific, I am currently smashed in between two pantsuits in the civil hallway of a Los Angeles Courthouse. To my left is a woman who looks slightly older than myself, writing... Continue Reading →

They say money is the root of all evil. It has also been said that money makes the world go round. If both of these statements are true, the world is truly an evil place. While I believe evil does exist, I don't think it has saturated the world to the point of no return.... Continue Reading →
The Unofficial Superhero
Anytime any of my girlfriends have told me they are pregnant, there's always a split second of hesitance before my reaction because two thoughts cross my mind. The first one is OH MY GOODNESS, YOU'VE DECIDED TO MAKE A TINY HUMAN AND THIS IS SO EXCITING!!!!! The second one is HOLY S#%* YOU'RE SOMEBODY'S MOM... Continue Reading →
I’m Old(er)
I find myself wishing I had the body I had 5 years ago. Then I remember at that age, I was wishing for the body 5 years before that. Sometimes I walk into rooms and forget why. I'm so stubborn I'll stay there until I figure out why and now valuable chunks of my life... Continue Reading →
The All Girls School
I moved to Cincinnati the summer before 7th grade. I learned very quickly that I would most likely be going to an all-girls Catholic High School. That was the "thing" there. It was in that moment I figured out we had actually moved to Hell. All girls? Let's be honest, half of the reason I... Continue Reading →
