It’s been quiet in this space for a long time.  The night I wrote this post, I was mugged outside our home.

My current skincare routine

My current skincare routine

I’ve always had problematic skin.  As a teenager, and well into adulthood, I struggled with acne, and sensitive skin that’s dry and oily all at once (side note: if you think you have combination skin, look up dehydrated skin and see if that sounds more like you. Life. Changing. Information.) Continue reading “My current skincare routine” →

I wrote about new beginnings in my last post before Christmas, contemplating the new year.  I wrote it speaking in the metaphorical; years end and new ones take their places, and yet we mostly stay the same people, live the same lives.  While I made my plans, life made plans of its own, and here we are.

I’m writing from the sofa, mid-semester, mid-November, mid-twenties. And despite being in the middle of so many things, I’m suddenly aware and in awe of the ways we can begin anew.

I’m sure I’m not the only parent who skips lunch more often than not, or is guilty of scarfing down a couple handfuls of cheddar bunnies and calling it a meal.  To avoid existing entirely off of children’s snack foods, however, I do have a couple go-to lunches I never seem to tire of.

Minor Minimalism

Minor Minimalism

This post is the first in a series dedicated to our adventures in tidying up, paring down, and better enjoying our home (and life).

It would be a gross exaggeration to call us minimalists. We have stuff.  We like our stuff. Continue reading “Minor Minimalism” →

Katie Hampton

Katie Hampton is a writer, mother, partner, and PTSD survivor. She grew up riding horses in the Arizona desert, sucked inside a book, and elaborately fantasizing about being watched by a hidden audience (a la Truman show). These days you can find her crying every time she has to pick out a birthday card, making a lot of lists, and watching Wes Anderson movies on repeat. She lives outside of Tucson, AZ (by way of the Bay Area) with her husband and two children.

Morning person 🐇
She asked me to take this pic. Love you forever, southpaw 🖤👍🏼
They went to school today. Their first day in person since the pandemic began, and for Rowan, her first time ever at elementary school. Our district decided to go back in person and remove the online option. We feel conflicted, and return to school hopeful but not without significant hesitation. When the doors closed behind each of my children, I whispered a little prayer for their safety from beneath my mask. I love you, I love you. I am so proud of you both.
I want to remember today
When you stress-purchase a custom “FuckTrump” bendy straw on January 6 and it arrives on Inauguration Day 🇺🇸
you are worth caring for, your cells, your mind, your spirit. I hope you find moments to replenish the worn parts of yourself 🖤
Do it yourself.
