Let’s Party and Explore, my buddy just turned 4!

April 25, 2022April 25, 2022

This past weekend, I threw a party for our son’s fourth birthday. It is absolutely bananas to me that I have been a parent for four years, and that the little infant I grew inside my body is now running around, an actual child. We had friends from his preschool over for the party. We’re…

Deconstructing and Easter

April 13, 2022April 13, 2022

My son turns 4 later this week. I think it’s pretty normal to go through some soul searching when you become a parent, and that has definitely been the case for my husband and I. We want to do right by the next generation, and that means doing our own unlearning, learning, and healing some…

Dress Your Family in Vintage: Easter Edition

March 17, 2022

Easter is perhaps the most practical time to dress your family in vintage. A holiday steeped in tradition, church-going, and Easter egg hunt photo shoots. A child of the 90s, my brother and I have painfully long video tapes of the two of us traipsing around my grandparents house, often dressed in silk or hand-smocked…

Friday Five: Books to Read While Nursing

March 4, 2022March 15, 2022

I loved nursing, for the most part. I was lucky to be able to nurse my son for nine months. The thing I didn’t love about nursing was the quiet, lonely, middle of the night nursing sessions. I had bad postpartum depression and anxiety, so I had to find a way to distract myself. I…

Ways Your Independent Film Can Give Back to Your Community

February 16, 2022February 16, 2022

Aw, the film industry. On the rollercoaster of filmmaking emotions, it’s not uncommon to feel some degree of guilt. In those moments where everything seems to be falling apart, thoughts of “why am I even doing this?” might creep in. Especially if you’re making a film about… I don’t know, goofball idiots hosting a couple’s…

Hi! Grace here. I'm a writer, actor, filmmaker, milspouse, bio and foster mom.

I began writing as a way of coping with depression and anxiety. I find my monsters behave better when I create outward chaos (which is how I would describe most of my work and life).
