    Bonjour Blog!

    Dear Blog,

    Are you feeling neglected?  Perhaps you feel a little bit stuck in March?  Maybe this first post in April will put some spring in your step – even if it is hump day…

    Who doesn’t like starting their day by actually having to wait for the library to …

    All Aboard!

    Cue moment of nostalgia:

    One year ago today, I was packing for the trip of a lifetime – a one month, whirlwind tour to see the globe.  Ok, I saw multiple European countries.  Conquering the entire globe is still on my to-do list, right under “rewrite resume for summer job.”…

    Wanna go halfsies? I do.

    So here’s a fun little story:

    As you can imagine, college students don’t exactly rush to the gym on Friday afternoons (well, except for this lean-mean-academic-machine!).  They have…other things to do…  Anyways, last Friday I went to the gym after my last class and and I was joined by oh, …

    Sweet Dreams

    by

    Most of my posts are the result of thoughts that swirl in my head for a few days, all with a common theme, that I eventually organize into one (somewhat) cohesive entry.  This one has been working its way through my brain waves for months now though.

    Meet Abbey: – ain’t she cute! If you couldn’t tell from that picture, Abbey is a morning person.

    Meet Maura:

    If you couldn’t tell from that picture, Maura is not a morning person.

    Oh you morning people, always cheerful …

    I just let out a sigh of relief. Spring Break is here. Yay.

    I tried to post earlier but blogger was being lame and kept telling me “Error, I am being lame, your post will not publish.” Ok, that’s not exactly what the error message said, but that is how …

    The “B” stands for Bridget. Happy Birthday Bridget! I am really excited to celebrate your birthday and all, but don’t you think it’s a bit more important this year that we celebrate our 15th year of friendship? The 15th year anniversary gift is traditionally crystal – you know, just in …

    Something Actually Made by Maura!

    by

    I know, I know. We’ve all been thinking it. This blog is getting boring. Too much type and not enough sarcasm/baking. I get it reader, I do. There’s a problem though:

    Oh my goodness I want some french toast muffins. I can think of nothing I would like more in …

    Will You Be My Valentine?

    by

    With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, I’ve got love on my mind.

    Last year on Valentine’s Day I was in Ireland. I had spent a lovely weekend in Dublin, but on Sunday February 14th I took a bus back to Cork, my home-away-from home for the semester. While walking …

    Math Love

    by

    I love math. I really do. What I can never understand is why so many people hear the word “mathematics” and make a face of absolute disgust. Math is the controlled art of problem-solving. Yes. I said art. But I also said controlled. There are laws, rules, theorems, and very …

    Why?

    by

    It seems like every toddler’s favorite question is “Why?” When I babysit small children I often feel like I am being interrogated. Why are you here? Because Mommy and Daddy are going out for a little bit. Why are they going out? I think they are going to dinner. Why? …

    A snow day is the best excuse to do the following:

    Sleep in late.
    Make pancakes or waffles and eat a leisurely breakfast.
    Stay in pajamas – all day.
    Watch movies, especially rom-coms or chick flicks.
    Bake just for …

    S’moregasm Casserole

    by

    Do you like s’mores? Do you have an oven-safe dish and access to an oven? If the answer to both those questions is “yes” go to the nearest supermarket and purchase Teddy Grahams, mini marshmallows, and chocolate chips. No really, go. GO NOW!

    My cousin Brian told me about “S’moregasms,” …

    C’est progrès!

    by

    This semester, French has become a class I actually do not dread going to in the afternoon. Why? Most likely it is because my French teacher is awesome. She is a retired high school language teacher with a southern accent you only hear in movies – less twang and more …
