As I stand here, making the avocado peanut butter mousse I found on a food blog I follow for more-healthy, gluten-free, dairy-free, added-sugar free ways to trick myself into thinking I'm eating dessert, I wonder how things got so off track.

I Broke the Universe, But I Refuse to Buy It
I think I'm making wormholes and eating more electronics. My nascent wizardry may be at the toddler stage. For those who aren't aware of my backstory, I break electronics at a prodigious rate.

Take Your Partying Seriously
Last week we heard what Summer and Lia think it takes to adult. This week, I think I'd share some of my favorite hostessing tips.

Some Things The Future Isn’t
Living in the future is pretty amazing. We're a little low on the hoverboard score, but I can talk to someone face to face 7,000 miles away with a click of a button! Robots clean our houses, and apparently take care of other needs, but really, Twitter, I need you to calm down about that. … Continue reading Some Things The Future Isn’t
