I've been making this salad - originally introduced to me in the pre-RG days by my friend Morgan - for years. It was one of our weekly staples, and then I completely forgot about it. For...mmm...a decade? Enter: A longtime reader, Krissy, who said that she could no longer find the recipe on my site, and asked if I'd repost.
College me, being college-y (the Hornitos tequila is somewhere in there, I guarantee you)
It's me, hi.
Did you know that being a single mother to two children in one of the most expensive cities in the world is very, very difficult?
Me, being just a tiny bit impulsive
There have been times in my life when I've thought things through before doing them. Not many, but it has happened.
This was not one of those times.
I went on a fantastic date the other night.
I begin this tale with a miniature story, which shall lead into a caveat.
MAN are tweens hard to shop for.
"So what do you want?"
"Whatever."
OK, so this is basically just stuff I covet. But if you generally enjoy my recommendations, they'll likely be up your alley, too.
Well, THIS is fun!
Duckbill - the personal assistant service I've been going on and on about these past few months - has started offering "bundles": Basically, groups of related tasks that you can request to have completed all at once. And! They invited me to create my own little holiday bundle - aptly titled A Very Ramshackle Glam Holiday - with everything from book recommendations to read by the fire, tablescape ideas using whatever you've got around the house, festive-but-uncomplicated beauty picks, and more.
You can sign up for a free month of the service using code RAMSHACKLE, and request my The Very Ramshackle Glam Holiday bundle here.
I get a little stressed out about what to do for my kids' teachers around the holidays. I want to make sure that they all feel appreciated…but I also very much don’t want to offend anyone (by, say, skipping someone I really should have given a gift to, or giving something that I think is thoughtful but that isn’t especially welcome).
So I went straight to the source, and asked a former elementary school teacher, Olivia (now the founder of Fresh Starts Registry) to tell me the honest truth about teachers and holiday gift-giving.
P.S. It goes without saying that the number one gift pick for teacher people, IMO, is this.
