Today’s picks are perfect to wear for your…
Father’s Day
It’s Father’s Day and I’ve got the Father’s Day blues because I don’t know how many more, if any more, Father’s Days we’ve got, me and you. People are posting pictures of dads at barbecues, and dads on wedding days during father-daughter dances, and everyone else’s dad seems happy and healthy and I don’t know…
The REAL Botanical Garden – Stopping to Smell the Roses
Exciting news! Upon admitting that I thought the Brooklyn Botanic Garden was THE Botanic Garden and having been proven wrong, very wrong, I successfully convinced Darren (he didn’t need any convincing) that we should spend our weekend going to the New York Botanical Garden’s Rose Weekend, with over 500 different types of roses in bloom,…

I Thought You Were Gone
That morning, I thought you were gone. I thought that I’d never live through the 20th of September without thinking, the day my dad died.

April – Girl, Wash Your Face by Rachel Hollis
