Play it forward
After a streak of bad luck, I was not in the best state of mind when I left NY to return to Missouri for Thanksgiving. Not to mention, I also had a leg brace and 17 stitches in my knee after a tumble down a friend’s stairwell. Hobbling around the whole weekend didn’t boost my spirits much, until an overwhelming kind gesture from a furniture saleswoman completely shocked me. I fell in...

(Big) Apple Picking
Fall is one of my favorite times of the year- especially in the Northeast where a city girl can escape her big apple life and head to the country to lose herself in another kind of apple… one that comes from an orchard. I went with my best friend Brooke back to her hometown in Connecticut for a weekend of autumn activities. We played with her family dog, Max, in the leaves, picked and carved...
