Why My Husband Turned Down a Great Coastal Job to Stay in Our ‘Flyover’ City

A few years ago my husband was abruptly laid off. As a freelance writer, I can live anywhere, so when he wasn’t having any initial luck, he expanded his job search from our hometown of Louisville, Kentucky, to the whole country. And some interesting opportunities came up, including one in the Pacific Northwest.

How St. Patrick’s Day Is More About Celebrating Home Than You May Realize

I remember it clearly: Heavy winds rustle the tricolored flags that hang ceremoniously from buildings as the parade marches through my neighborhood in Yonkers, New York. The steady cadence of drums and the bellowing skirl of bagpipes echo into the local Irish bar, where those dressed in green sip sudsy pints of colored ale and wolf down heaping globs of thinly-sliced corned beef and curly-leafed cabbage. Ah, St. Patrick’s Day.

There’s One Kind of “Clutter” It’s Okay to Keep

There are so many kinds of clutter: excess items you think you might need someday, clutter you’re so used to having around that you don’t even notice it anymore, piles of paper you have to go through, and things you feel guilty getting rid of because someone gave them to you or you spent good money on them.
