Coffee Conversations with a Purple Girl
It is inevitable that when one goes to college at a Christian school and makes friends those friends will start getting married as soon as you graduate, or sooner. It is also inevitable that when you have 24 first cousins alone and you’re somewhere in the middle, you’ll grow up going to weddings, and then […]
I’ve recently discovered that my kitten Calamity really likes eating the wooden wicks of my wood-wick candles. Why? I don’t know, but she seems to enjoy chewing on them and breaking off little charred bits to munch and then let drop on my end table. I wonder if she has a deficiency of some kind. […]
Unlike many people of my generation, I didn’t have a phone until my senior year of high school, late in the year, and he was ancient. A friend gave him to me because she got a new one and just had it lying around and I was like, “Okay, why not?” Little did I know […]
Dear Brides, Congratulations! This is probably the most stressful and exciting summer of your life, but at the end of it all, you get to spend your life with the fella you love and that’s awesome! I’m sure you’ve already read all the advice the internet has to give you. You’ve probably looked at hundreds […]

Much like Harvest Moon I greatly enjoyed the spin-off Rune Factory: A Fantasy Harvest Moon. It basically combined two of my favorite things: Fantasy and Harvest Moon.

Confession: I have a Harvest Moon problem. Not currently, actually, well, not technically, but if I were to get started playing it, I probably would have a problem again. Did any of that make sense? Okay, story time. When I was in high school I had these two friends, Jac and Josiah, and they were […]
Good morning dear friends! It is a very blustery day here and I’m writing to you from the office where it’s still safe. The living room is safer now, thanks to my dear friend Michelle who recommended the solution we were looking for to our cat smell problem. Now I just have to get around […]
I have a beautiful story to tell, about some of the most beautiful people I know. I got to sit in court yesterday. That doesn’t sound beautiful, or fun, or even good, but it was. I sat in on the final adoption hearing for this family’s second little girl. This family has now adopted two […]
Good morning my friends! I am writing to you from Warsaw Indiana this morning while eating a waffle in my hotel room with my husband. We’re talking about comic book adaptations. We’re here to see my sister-in-law’s senior art show tonight, which is pretty exciting. It’s the first time I’ve been able to come out […]
