A few days ago I was off at the day job showing a house when I causally mentioned my husband in conversation. The other real estate agent and their client looked at me and exclaimed there is no way I’m old enough to be married, and when I told them I am going to be […]

Book Review | My Lady Jane
Have you ever learned something about history – something that seems so ridiculous and a bit unfair that you thought “well no, that can’t possibly be right!” Well, it seems that’s what Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton, and Jodi Meadows have done with their novel My Lady Jane. Based – very loosely – on the true story […]
We Moved… Again!
If the blog title is throwing you for a loop, you aren’t imagining things. Yes – we did move recently. And yes, we did it again. (Even though Chuck and I both swore up and down that we would never move ever again because it’s the worst thing ever.) That’s actually part of why this blog […]
Cocktail Hour | Rio Edition
It’s Friday, which means one thing here at The Blogtini – Cocktail Hour! During the last Olympics my husband and I hosted a “Beer Olympics” during the Opening Ceremony that ended up just being a group of people sitting around drinking and heckling the TV. This time around we’ve decided to be a little bit […]

Book Review | Lying Out Loud by Kody Keplinger
Ohhh you guyssss. This book was good. So, so good. Lying Out Loud: A Companion to The DUFF by Kody Keplinger is everything The DUFF was (funny, heartwarming, totally angsty in an amazing way) and more. What’s that? You haven’t read The DUFF? It’s okay, I haven’t either – but I watched the movie (starring Bella Thorne) and […]
Cool For The Summer
Honestly, nothing makes me happier in the summer than an all white ensemble. Do I spend the entire time I’m wearing it terrified of going anywhere near anything but water? Of course. And do I freak out at the thought of getting too close even to the water, lest my ensemble end up completely see-through? […]
Cocktail Hour | Birthday Prosecco Cocktail
I can’t believe what I’m about to type – tomorrow, June 4, is my 29th birthday. TWENTY-NINE! There is honestly a part of me that still thinks I’m 22 (and I absolutely still feel 22… until I try to do something a 22 year old would do), so the fact that I am about to […]
Book Review | Anatomy of a Misfit by Andrea Portes
If you’re looking for a good book to kick off the summer add this one – Anatomy of a Misfit by Andrea Portes – to the list. Seriously. When I say I laughed and cried I honestly mean it. I actually cried a few times reading this book, but the end had me sobbing. But […]
