Last month I drove across the United States from Oregon to New York with my friend Matt. Side note: he’s been begging to be written about since last year (apparently one dedicated post and a handful of other mentions weren’t good enough for him!!). Sometime in the middle of Wyoming he turned to me and said, “Does…
Let’s talk about August. August was my best month overall, traffic-wise. Note, however, that all that traffic was concentrated in the first half of the month. A single post–one from pretty deep in the archives, too–is the culprit. Feminist Friday: The Problem With The Manic Pixie Dream Girl started blowing up. It may or may…
This past weekend I went to Vancouver, British Columbia for a photography trip, so it only makes sense that I’d supplement that with Instagram posts. Here are some previews from my daily shoots (which you’ll be seeing more of in posts to come)! View this post on Instagram Welcome to Canada 🍁 #travel #roadtrip #vancouver…
Here’s the second A-Z Challenge guest blogger. Welcome Amanda from Amanda Under Construction! It’s said in response to long meaningful messages, when the sender isn’t sure of what to say or is annoyed/bothered by the recipient. It’s sent when the sender is indifferent towards the recipient. It’s used when the sender is angry and unwilling to compromise. We…
Now you’ve seen my spring break trip to Boston through Instagram and had an in-depth look at the Museum of Fine Arts and the North End. But there’s still a lot from my trip that I haven’t discussed: watching Teletubbies at my sister’s co-ed fraternity, seeing NFL Patriots Jordan Devey and Bryan Stork reading aloud…
My long-term blog goals list looks something like this: Get Freshly Pressed. Attend a blogging conference. Turn blogging into a career. I’ve accomplished the first one (score) and the last one is highly improbable. The second is doable, but difficult. Mostly because I live in two places. For instance, WordPress is hosting a Press Publish conference in…
I desperately needed an editorial calendar. A real one, anyway–my scribbled notes and dates were becoming too disorganized, especially when I wanted to plan for bigger blogging projects. When you're a #blogger who changes her mind as much as I do… pic.twitter.com/NVHqgdWw5G — Sabina (@VictimToCharm) December 19, 2014 I spent a lot of time googling…

Reading has always been a primarily solitary activity. Sure, adults read aloud to young children, but in most cases that stops when a child gains the ability to read independently. Just because we read the actual words alone, though, doesn’t mean that books aren’t meant to be shared. Discussions about literature in class, at book club,…
There’s a time and a place for live tweeting. Commentary and quotes that remind you of your family’s silliness is appropriate for the holidays, but you can–and should–use different tones for different events. My best friend Julia and I went to a concert earlier this week at the Wonder Ballroom in Portland. Smallpools and Magic…
