OURBKLYN

this is the story of a last minute decision to fly myself down to georgia where joe was filming for two weeks. i’d only be there for three days, but it would be worth it, as it was our only chance to spend some time away, together. we have both been traveling quite a bit [...]

when i was little, i went through a phase where i’d sleep under my bed. my favorite book was “where the wild things are” – i’d read it front to back over and over until i fell asleep. i would try to control my dreams, wanting to travel to the island with the jungle. i [...]

i received the news dec 9, 2012 that selena gomez was starring in harmony korine’s newest film, i was pleasantly surprised. i like selena enough – i’ve grown to like her more since writing that. i really dig harmony korine and nearly everything he does. my fandom with korine began in the year 1999. i [...]

i spent this past valentines day by myself, in the ritz carlton, in jamaica. that sentence just felt so damn good to write. joe was filming paula’s fourteenth season in savannah. after a few travel changes, it worked out for me to spend one more night down there (i had just finished up a solo [...]

early in december, joe and i decided to stay in for new years eve. last year was no bueno (not a total bust, but not ideal if you catch my drift) – so this year we wanted it to be just us (and the boys, of course.) we woke up slow, went shopping for dinner [...]

hi! i’m going to try to start talking regularly about something here- books. i’ve always been excited about reading. i remember the days when i dreamt of being able to understand the written word — since then i’ve been seeking an understanding of more and trying to do it as swiftly as possible. i prefer [...]

i decided to give my green thumb one more shot.  i have tried for about 10 years now to keep a garden, and to actually let it grow.  i have failed time and time again. seasons change, i move, i forget to water, i overwater, i forget to transplant, i don’t prune enough, i over [...]

Today is one of my loveliest’s birthday.  Miss Rachael.  Spring has sprung. Her peace and love has enveloped me in such a comforting stillness as I watch daffodils pop up left and right.  It’s March’s birth flower, they have the flower meaning of rebirth , respect, regard and unrequited love.  *Perfect fit*    

First and foremost, let me share with you the high lights of my childhood Valentine remnants.  I know for a fact if Joe and I were in love in first grade we’d mos def have exchanged these specific cards to eachother.  I’d give him Michael Jordan, He’d give me Barbie.  I know these Barbie ones [...]

I recently came across an entire box of artwork that Nate and I made as children.  It’s amazing and be ready to see some of it showcased on this here blog in the near future.  My mom seriously saved my first sentence ever written.  Amazing, right? As I was on my way out the door [...]

I’ve got specific love for my sibling. I think its one of the silliest, dearest forms of love out there. Right?

My good friend Corie visited from LA in late summer.  She took some adorable pictures of Joe and I- which I plan on sharing here soon.  Here’s a sneak peek!

I’d love to share two very exciting things with you guys. First, my brother Nathan has moved back to New Jersey! I am elated.  He lived in Asheville, NC for the past few years and decided to come back to his roots.  I still haven’t seen him (its been 4 days) but I really can’t [...]

This year we had to celebrate Valentines Day on February 13.  Joe had work on Monday, sometimes he doesn’t get home until 10 p.m.   Honestly, I’d hate to be one of those people who says they “don’t really care” about this day.  Because, I do.  I just don’t like to make a big deal [...]
