Go to the Band Room Go to the Band Room By Megan Cutler | July 29, 2013 | Comments 2 comments I still remember the most uplifting, empowering experience I’ve ever had. Back in high school, I was a member of the band. In the town where I grew up, you didn’t have to audition.

Leave Only Footprints Leave Only Footprints By Megan Cutler | July 15, 2013 | Comments 1 comment The one time I went snorkeling was probably the single most amazing thing I’ve ever done in my life. Snorkeling was our second off-resort adventure in Belize. Instead of leaving on a bus, we left on a boat. But first we took a trip to the surf shop to get fitted for flippers and masks. … Read More Read More
Under the Sun Under the Sun By Megan Cutler | July 8, 2013 | Comments 1 comment The saying goes that there’s nothing new under the sun (and maybe there isn’t). That’s why a truly original idea is worth it’s weight in gold. Why everyone and their brother will hurry to snap it up and why everyone who discovers it will instantly try to duplicate it. As a writer, originality is something … Read More Read More
More Kitchen Fun More Kitchen Fun By Megan Cutler | July 1, 2013 | Comments 1 comment A few weeks back I made a list of my favorite slow-cooker recipes cobbled together from various social media and blogs I read. My slow-cooker is convenient, but I don’t use it every night. So in the spirit of fairness, here are some non-slow-cooker favorites we’ve added to our meal rotation of late.

Maiden of the Rock Maiden of the Rock By Megan Cutler | June 24, 2013 | Comments 1 comment While we spent a lot of time on the beach in Belize, it wasn’t the (sole) reason we visited the country.

Who Are You Writing For? Who Are You Writing For? By Megan Cutler | June 17, 2013 | Comments 0 Comment I haven’t written about writing in awhile. Not because I don’t have anything to say, because I worry talking too much about it will annoy people. But I’ve noticed a lot of talk about this topic recently, and I feel I can speak from personal experience. I follow Neil Gaiman on Tumblr. People tend to … Read More Read More
DIY Jewelery Organizer DIY Jewelery Organizer By Megan Cutler | June 10, 2013 | Comments 0 Comment Now that our basement is finally fixed, we’ve set to work organizing the house the way we’d like it. We’ve sort of lived with everything where it fit in the year and a half since the disaster. We tackled the bedroom first. One of the problems I wanted to solve was jewelry storage. I have … Read More Read More
Airplane Adventures Airplane Adventures By Megan Cutler | June 3, 2013 | Comments 1 comment Writing about my recent trip to Florida reminded me of another vacation I never wrote about. It was before I started this blog and at a point in my life where, due to various time constraints, I had stopped journaling. It’s the kind of once-in-a-lifetime experience I’ve always wanted to do justice in writing. Before … Read More Read More
Be Who You Are Be Who You Are By Megan Cutler | May 27, 2013 | Comments 1 comment Sometimes while browsing the Internets, I come upon posts that make me sigh or roll my eyes, usually where people have over-examined a concept, movie or kid’s show to the point where I can’t take their conclusion seriously. And I preface this post in such a way because I fear I may be treading that … Read More Read More
