Where She Went: BlogHer Book Club
It’s time for another BlogHer Book Club book! This time, it’s Gayle Forman’s Where She Went, the sequel to her very popular If I Stay. A couple of weeks ago, I spent the weekend sick on the couch, and read both books back to back, so I’m having a really hard time thinking of them [...]

I’m not sure what it was, but something about the meals I ate this Sunday really made me happy. Maybe because I made them all? And tried new things? They all just seemed so wholesome and healthy and tasty and new-to-me, and I enjoyed the heck out of them. The day started off with a [...]
