also known as, Happy Thanksgiving Marzipanlings! But seriously y’all. I do love the holidays, so I’m more than a little susceptible to holiday cheer weepiness – BUT Z-OH-MY-GAHHH. Please watch this if you are traveling this weekend. Please watch this if you need some cheering up. Please just watch it. That guy that sang The [...]

It’s that time of year, Marzipanlings. You know, the time where all you want to do is loaf around in pajamas stuffing your face with deliciousness, and relaxing? And yet, somehow, you also have to: look good, talk about your latest accomplishments with distant relatives, buy presents even when you’re broke, and get in the [...]
Two years ago I was reckless. I was busying myself with running around and making out with everyone that I set my eyes on. I was moving too quickly, forgetting to eat, and abusing my body with lack of sleep and constant motion. I went dancing every night. I got myself to a place where [...]

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY marzipanlings!! I sure hope that you are taking the day off, kicking back, eating cheeseburgers or, ahem, veggie burgers, drinking frosty beverages, and watching the fireworks with loved ones. Or, if like me, you are working today, you are making a small fortune off of people who want to pay you [...]

Happy Valentines Day marzipanlings! I won’t lie. I LOVE valentines day.

I could care [...]

Oh man oh man do I adore you. Truly. And I want to wish you the BEST, most beautiful, and glorious Christmas. I intend to spend the next 48 hours in my pajamas. Watching TV. Smooching C and cuddling with my baby sister while we ANXIOUSLY await the other to come home from Africa. And [...]
ALRIGHT Northeast. It is so freaking cold up here! Poor C, I swear, we walked off the plane and she just looked so small and cold and heartbroken (and. weighs. approx. 93. pounds.). And we are getting a blizzard. On Cape Cod. So pretty much I never get to go home, because, my father assures [...]

I’m not sure about you, but this year my holiday season has expanded (literally) from Thanksgiving and Christmas as separate and distinct festivities to a six week marathon of parties, cookies, delicious alcoholic indulgences, and the growing need/desire for hibernation and rampant food consumption. It felt like I navigated Thanksgiving really well by reminding myself [...]
Hello little Marzipanlings! How was your Thanksgiving feasting?? I spent my lovely holiday in Jersey with my (seemingly ever expanding) big Italian family, and it was just absurdly delicious. Actually the whole week gave me kind of a migraine, as trying to be conscious of the what/how much you eat in the face of a [...]
