My grandmother, Elizabeth McGuinness, passed away on June 18th, 2020. The below essay, dedicated to her, was written a month or so before, when she was diagnosed with Covid-19 (which she, miraculously, survived). Until we meet again, Nani. We’ll love you forever. My grandmother tested positive for COVID-19 on Friday. My Nani, who has been…
A Day in Tuscany (Kind Of)
A huge, huge, huge thank you to all of my friends and fam who came out to Stonehaus help me celebrate turning the big 2-9! You all made me feel so special, and I sincerely love you all so so much. Also, it was kinda nice to pretend to escape to Italy for the day,…

on destinies
I had my palm read at work last week. My favorite IT guy came over and asked to see our palms, and then proceeded to blow us away with how well he was able to navigate through the lines on our hands and offer us a scarily accurate synopsis on our personalities. Mine? I’m close…
WORLD SERIES
We woke up this morning not realizing we’d go to a Dodgers World Series game (and watch them win). One of the coolest experiences of all time; a total bucket list moment. Plus, the fact that Kate and I got to share this together is pretty epic, too. Let’s Go Blue.
twenty seven
Holy Shit. 27?! When did this happen? Grateful. Always grateful. Here’s to seeing what treasure this year has in store (with all these girls).
