Not everyday, but once in a while I thing about my grandmother. Over the summer I planted three rose bushes in my backyard and one of them smells just like her perfume and the smell brings me right back home to her little house on the river in Zanesville. Today it would be fitting to… Read More The Cooper Matriarch
A couple years ago on this day I published a blog post on my old site about why I should be eating cake today. So, considering it’s November 9th again it seemed fitting to re-publish this post to remind myself why this day is so important to me and why I need to celebrate this… Read More Today We Eat Cake and Feel Fabulous

Maybe it was because of my older brothers or maybe it was because of the amount of boys in my neighborhood, but I grew up to be a huge tomboy. I did not play with Barbies, I did not play dress-up, and I fought tooth and nail when my mom wanted me to put on… Read More Confessions of a Former Sports Addict
Recently I was reminded of a fun, little writing project that was going around with some fellow bloggers several years ago about writing your own poem called, “Where I’m From” and I wanted to share the project with everyone else because it was such a fun project.
