Dinner In Minutes: Featuring Smithfield Marinated Pork Sirloin
I live a double life. At home, I am wife, pet parent, and writer. But at my day job, I have four kids who just returned to school. And we all know what that means: the return of homework, after school activities, and chaos. I'm easily...
Is Jamberry For You?
Unless you've been living under a rock, you've heard of Jamberry nails. Set up much like Mary Kay, you find yourself a consultant and make purchases through their Jamberry site. You can host parties (which earn you free products), make a single purchase,...
Stuff & Things 9/24
>> Through an unfortunate series of events dealing with a hair salon, I ended up cutting my own hair on Monday night in a fit of frustration. Bangs, no less. They turned out okay considering I broke the cardinal sin of womanhood. I did...
A Truth in the Stories.
I picked up a writing book the other day while browsing Barnes & Noble with ATA. I instantly flipped it open to chapter one and read the first line. I don't read the backs of books, so this is how I gauge my decision to buy or not. The very first thing...

I walked outside the other morning to walk the dog. It was so crisp and cool out, I went back inside to grab a sweatshirt. As we walked around the complex, I thought how easy it is to forget what the heat felt like. Just like that, it was fall. We...
Talking Fall featuring OPI Overexposed in South Beach
Nails: OPI Overexposed in South Beach. I'm pretty brand loyal to Julep these days. To be honest, if you're going to spend more than $3 on a nail polish, they're just the way to go. They last the longest, apply the smoothest, and I really just love the...

I could tell you about how I went out to dinner at a new Ramen place with Kim, or how I've been trying to snap (johodgespodges) my days to decide if I want to vlog again. I could talk about how I'm anxious to start writing another book, or I could thank you all...
What I’ve Been Up To: Behind The Scenes + A Big Announcement
I'm twenty-nine years old, and I'm still trying to find myself. Fifteen year old Joey would be very disappointed in that fact. The old insecurities that you feel when you're in high school tend to follow us into adulthood. We fight them off, one by...
Style Update: Accessorizing (Featuring Julep + Soufeel)
Nails: Julep Casey I'm trying with the whole fashion thing, friends. I am. But I'm just discovering that I'm a very simple girl with very plain style. I'm okay with it, I think. I mean, the point isn't to push myself into being someone...
I Still Like You
Hurdle after hurdle, this year keeps throwing twists and turns at us that should trip us up. I saw this image a few weeks ago, on a particularly hard day, and thought...yup. But the truth is, the only real option is to just keep moving forward. It's to the...
