Every month, I search the city for new-to-me street art. It's gotten easier recently, since Baltimore decided to do an encore project of Open Walls. Basically, artists are commissioned to create murals on the sides of buildings, generally in the Station North area....
Every month, I host a link-up on a different topic. If you're interested in getting notified in advance of what the topic is going to be, please just send me an e-mail, and I'll add you to the list. Nature is a beautiful and magnificent part of our life, which is why...
Happy Wednesday! Has anyone around you made a corny Hump Day joke yet? Go ahead and be that person, it's fine. I'll allow it. It's not just Hump Day, though. It's Tourism Day! Today would be a good time to explore any of those local treasures you have in your city....
A couple months ago, I got a very sweet message from Rachael in California, who had just found my blog. She called me a "combination of Candy Chang and a RAOK crusader!", so when she asked if I was up for collaborating on a project, I was all in. She had this idea for...
Hey lovelies. Thank you so much for reading. I wanted to offer another giveaway just because you guys and gals are wonderful. Instead of the usual snail mail surprise package, though, this time you’re entering to win one month of my Monthly Marvels surprise package...

Bug has to investigate everything. He's basically my body guard, and nothing gets past him. I tried to sneak my bag of three hundred Dum Dum lollipops into my room without suspicion. Hah, nice try, Mary. Look at these condescending eyes. "Yeah, this is the kind of...
Last year, I talked about planning your epitaph. It might seem morbid at first, but the fact is that we're all going to die, so we might as well have things to work towards and make sure our send off is a brilliant and true celebration of ourselves. This isn't for...
When April told me that we could do lip sync performances at her Jimmy Fallon birthday party, I said yes yes yes. After I figured out that I was doing Ke$ha's "We R Who We R", I went on Forever 21's website and ordered a leotard and tacky gold jewelry. Once the...
