Read Lately

One benefit of not having any friends is that I have plenty of time to read! Here's what I've been reading since we arrived in Seattle and I suddenly found all this time on my hands.

So, How Are You Liking Seattle?

It’s a pretty great feeling every time I get this question from a friend back in Missouri. I appreciate that I have friends who actually care how I’m doing now that I’ve moved, but every time it’s caught me a little off guard. I’ve said “Great!” but really, I had no idea because I had just moved here and was struggling just to find my way to the grocery store. So now that I’ve lived here for a bit, I thought I’d share all my feels about this move and tell you how I actually am liking my new city.

Rental Backsplash Options: Is It Worth It?

One of my favorite bloggers, Anna Dorfman, has been reading my mind lately and sharing some affordable, temporary options for kitchen backslashes in rentals (check out this post, this post, and this post). This is a very tricky subject, I think. Should I bother to fix up something like my kitchen backsplash in my apartment, where I will probably only live for a year or so?

I’m leaning towards yes, always. Ha!
