Caroline and I grew up living next door to our grandmother who we (and everyone in our small town) called ‘Lala’, and across the street from Lala was her neighbor of over sixty years “Miss” Barbara. Lala and Miss Barbara […]

Thirty-Oneder Mifflin
Is this week dedicated to me? I think so. Like most families, we usually get together and celebrate the birthdays for that month. I am the only August birthday, so I get all the attention dedicated to me. Two things about me:1. I LOVE a themed party.2. I LOVE The Office. My family surprised me […]
Thirty-FUN
Today is my birthday! I’m not going to lie, last year I had a bit of an emotional breakdown at the thought of turning 30. A coworker had a birthday two days before mine, and we all sang “Happy Birthday” to her, and I had to leave because I was crying. I was having a […]

The ZPT
The matriarch of our family, Paula, is not much of a planner. When we were growing up, she somehow would decide most nights around 5 what we were eating for dinner that night. I vividly remember many afternoons, her getting up from the couch after Oprah and asking us what we felt like. How’d she […]
