It’s possible that every store in America sells something that Giovanna wants. Slap a Disney Princess across the front and she’s sold. Which means I’m saying no a lot. No to the princess balloons (unless it’s Valentine’s Day!). No to the sugar-loaded treats displayed so prettily in the cafes. No [...]
Walking down the street, I came face to face with this. Harsh words freshly painted upon a brand new home.
As a liberal, I can sympathize with the person who took paint to wood to spread their message on this urban Seattle street. The middle class swoops into a working class ‘hood, tearing down [...]
This post is written in honor of my best friend who is dedicating 27 months of her twenties to promoting peace in Uganda as a member of the Peace Corps. She straddles two cultures, struggling to reconcile the excess of wealth in America with the extreme poverty in Africa.
Tis the season for materialism. It’s [...]
Today, I will share another piece of haphazardly (read: quickly) produced fiction according to the following prompt from the Red Writing Hood:
This week we want to challenge you to try something new.
Is there someone who drives you crazy?
Someone who really gets under your skin.

I wrote a letter to myself at 18 years old and it is featured today at The Hindsight Letters. It’s all about money and why I should have stopped caring about it a long time ago.
What would you like to tell your 18 year old self?
I don’t know why I keep posting about chocolate. Yes, I love it. But I am not completely obsessed. I swear. It is, however, fun to eat and fun to write about. Plus, my husband gave me a seriously beautiful blender for Mother’s Day and so we’ve been making lots of smoothies. One of [...]
Since Giovanna was born, I’ve been living under a rock. Or on a rock. Like another planet or something. You wanna know how I figured this out?
I am generally a pretty responsible person. Not spacey. And quite frugal. I detest throwing money away. It follows that I hate getting tickets of any kind. [...]
“Wealth is the number of things one can do without.” ~ Feodor Dostoyevsky
This is a beautiful statement. We tend to get so caught up in STUFF. But have you ever attempted to have a garage sale? If so, you’ll realize how much stuff you’ve accumulated that you don’t want, and [...]
How do I manage to accumulate so many bills? Car insurance, medical insurance, homeowner’s insurance, dental bills, medical bills, homeowner’s association dues, mortgage payment, credit card payment…I feel like I’m missing a few. I live pretty meagerly, too – my mother trims my hair and I haven’t been to a Starbucks or a movie theatre [...]
It is the catch-22 of the American consumer. During the good times, we save too little. During the bad times, we save too much. The economy is booming so we all buy new cars and houses on borrowed money that we can’t really afford, making the economic boom impossible to sustain. The recession hits and [...]
