You’ll find me in the kitchen at parties

September 5, 2011 My story

Do you like parties? I’m not talking about the kind of parties where you slip on a little black dress for nightclubs, take shots off a girl’s belly and swing under a disco ball (do those things still exist?).  I’m talking about big, celebratory events like birthday parties, graduation parties, baby showers, bridal showers, etc. [...]

Cross Bites with a Cross-Cultural Couple

Spread the Love Giveaway

July 5, 2011 giveaway

Cheesy Sunday

June 6, 2011 blog meet-up

I apologize. I missed last weekend’s ED post. I have not been very active online lately. I just have a lot on my mind and I haven’t really had the energy to write a lucid post, especially a sensitive and emotional one like my Weekend ED series. So this post will be a bit of [...]
