{ Writer’s Workshop: Father’s Day }

June 14, 2012

This Sunday will be the first Father’s Day in our household. Well, the first soon-to-be-Father’s Day! And I know that we’re technically not parents yet, but my very loving husband has taught me a lot about our pending parenthood over the last few months. He’s taught me that becoming a parent is scary, but exciting [...]

the most wonderful time of the year.

September 30, 2010

How I know my favorite season is here: 1. Pumpkin everything. And. I. Love.it. 2. I no longer am getting funny looks for wearing 3 layers of clothing. Note: People do not think cardigans are appropriate summer attire. 3. We are five days away from my birthday. Yep, the big 2-6 is upon us! 4. [...]

writer’s workshop :: that day

March 18, 2010

I often find myself just staring at BF in admiration. Never in my life did I think I could or would love someone this much. During these moments of adoration, the same thought is always running through my mind… How did I get this lucky? Never did I imagine that WE would be here, together, [...]

{writer’s workshop – a difficult conversation}

March 4, 2010

This isn’t easy to say. You know, sometimes I think you’re too hard on yourself. Truthfully, I think almost all of the time most of the time you are too hard on yourself. It’s not easy for me to tell you this, but you’ve really got to just let some things go and let them [...]

writer’s workshop :: kindness of strangers

December 10, 2009

Tuesday night I was on my way to the Junior League of Syracuse holiday party at Pascales downtown and thanks to my handy dandy new GPS, I found my way! I found a free parking space (cause what’s better than free, right?), and got out of the car. I started walking. I decided to call [...]

writer’s workshop :: life changing

November 19, 2009

Disclaimer: quite possibly the most personal post I’ve ever written. I remember the night perfectly. My sister and I were in the livingroom watching TV. The phone rang. We didn’t think anything of it. My mom and my dad went into their bedroom. I heard the sound of my mothers voice get high and shrill. [...]

writer’s workshop: dear bf

November 5, 2009

5.) Write a love letter to the object of your affection. Dear silly BF, I know I tell you this a hundred times a day, but it has to be said… You are amazing. I know, I know… how original. “You’re amazing.” But seriously I can’t even find the words to say. You are my [...]

writer’s workshop :: passion

October 22, 2009

2.) Describe what makes you want to live a life with passion. I’m motivated to live my life with passion because it keeps things interesting. Without passion, life is plain and boring. I am passionate to be the best person that I can be so for these brief moments that I am around in this [...]

writer’s workshop: what’s cookin’ in my crock pot.

October 8, 2009

Mama Kat wants to know what’s cooking in my crock pot. I’ll tell you what’s cooking… NOTHING. Why? Because I don’t have a crock pot. Although there has certainly been some heavy crock pot discussion lately (no joke). BF wanted to buy me a crock pot for my birthday (I’m not actually sure why – [...]
