Coming Up:
Appearing at 92nd Street Y February 16, 2012 with Ree Drummond, Kathryn Finney and Sarah Brokaw.
This blog was created by two friends who made a pledge to try something new, fun, challenging, or even ridiculous every week for a year. At times, life got in the way, but we forged ahead.

We quickly realized that doing something (even something small) and writing about it weekly was much easier said than done! But our concept [...]
