Let’s all hold hands and lose our minds together.
So, every November, writers and bloggers the world over are peer pressured invited to take part in literary self-flagellation of epic proportions. Today kicks off National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) and National Blog Post Month (NaBloPoMo). NaNoWriMo – commonly referenced as National Sh*%$y First Draft Month – puts writers up to the challenge of
Spinach Salad with Orzo, Chickpeas, and Feta
So, here’s a recipe for a salad. NO WAIT WAIT WAIT! I swear, it’s delicious and filling and something you’d actually want to eat. If you find this not to be true, I will eat my hat. Deal?
Butter Pecan Mashed Sweet Potatoes
Hold on to your hats: I’m blogging about food now. Mind you, I’m not actually doing the cooking – just *blogging* about the cooking – so you won’t be picking any hairs out of the recipes I’ll be sharing. So yay for no hairs? Give us a follow for healthy, cheap, delicious good eats.
Humility At Work
On my recent flight from San Jose for BlogHer, I sat across the aisle from a guy I recognized from the convention as a WordPress programmer. I argued with myself over whether I should say hi, it being extremely early and me having the proclivity to insert my foot in my mouth whenever I randomly approach […]
You Can Dance If You Want To
The last couple weeks have been a mishmosh of sad, uncomfortable, infuriating, and just plain exhausting. I’m still stunned by the death of Robin Williams. I can’t put my finger on why exactly his passing has hit me on such a profound level – I suppose he’s one of those actors you expect to grow old with […]
Considering C
Now more than ever, I find myself questioning many of the things that I thought I knew about myself. Going back to work has been a catalyst for self-examination and recalibration, and while I love channeling my energy into work and professional endeavors and figuring out who Emily the Mom/Employee is, nearly every day I miss […]
Come Fly With Me. Here’s Your Barf Bag.
Over the weekend, I had the pleasure of going to BlogHer14 in San Jose, California. It was a great experience not only because I got to collect my very first ever blogging award* but also because I learned how to do many new things such as take a selfie and work the word “niche” into 2/3rds […]

Privilege
It’s been a few weeks since I last wrote a blog post here. It’s funny; you can go nearly two and a half years doing something almost every day, essentially writing in your sleep. Then, you let a little time elapse and all of a sudden you feel like you have to start over from Square […]
Remember the Time When You Had Not a Care in the World?
Hi Kids! Rob the Intern here. Today is my very last day at P&G as I am retiring. “Kids” is the relevant word for this month’s RTT topic because when you finally hit that magic day when you’re able to walk away from your employer, it tends to put one in a very nostalgic mood, […]
