While in the car with my dad yesterday, I read on Twitter that the Religious Freedom Bill had passed in Indiana. I was in disbelief that this ridiculous discriminating law is moving forward, therefore moving our state backwards. There are so many people in Indianapolis trying to make our city a world-class place to live, … Continue reading
How many people engage in Sunday dinners? I’m not talking about heating something up and eating in front of the television, but actually sitting down with family or friends to enjoy a meal together on Sunday evenings. On November 9, Indiana Humanities, Harrison Center for the Arts and City Gallery hosted the first city-wide supper, … Continue reading
Love is in the air! So many of my beautiful coupled-up friends have been tying the knot over the past year (always the bridesmaid and never the bride, woe is me, hint hint boyfriend…I promise I’m not crazy), and I’m running out of unique wedding and bridal gifts. I try to get something special and … Continue reading
I’ve said it time and time again: I will keep up with my blog this year. Well, I couldn’t even finish Think Kit this year, so there goes that goal flying out the window. I was looking forward to Think Kit for months, and then when it came around I was stumped. Whether it was … Continue reading

I am becoming SUCH a slacker when it comes to keeping up my blog. I said when I started out that I wouldn’t let this blog go untouched or forgotten…but it seems like I have done just that. So, in the spirit of improving my writing skills and using my brain for something other than … Continue reading
Tuesday night, Broad Ripple’s newest addition, Delicia, opened up at 52nd and College. I always love finding new spots in my neighborhood and surrounding areas, so I was itching to get over there to try what this Latin American spot had to offer. Walking in the doors, you would never be able to guess that … Continue reading
Social Media. I love it and I hate it at the same time. With everyone on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, email and the other handfuls of platforms, does Social Media make it more tempting to be unfaithful to your partner? Once you have a breakup, do you unfriend your ex on Facebook, or do you keep that … Continue reading
It’s the age of social media. Evites and Facebook events have replaced invitations. Tweets and texts have replaced phone calls. Emails are sent instead of a letter. While this gives us quick gratification and often saves time, do you ever stop to think how much a handwritten note is appreciated? I love writing cards, notes … Continue reading
