  • Clocking into relationships

    Dating over the past years, I can say that I have learned a decent amount about men. But I’ve mostly learned a lot about myself, including my shortcomings. I’m also the type of person to overthink and dwell on things, which isn’t very helpful. Let’s face it, relationships are not easy and sometimes it feels…

  • 75 & Below

    75 & below should be webisode about how easily women get cold. I could be the star and everyone would attest to it. It would cover a draft in the house, sitting near the entryway in a restaurant, blanket burritos on the couch, cold feet and so much more. I’m not sure how most people…

  • Battle on Woodstock

    I remember it well, dad came home with muffins. Not just any muffins, these were the Otis Spunkmeyer muffins, one of my many guilty pleasures for a snack. Anyway, there were 4-5 at, three of which were blueberry which is also my favorite. In a family of six, the odds of me getting the blueberry…

  • Meet Lily

    My oldest and warmest creation! She’s got spunk and charisma! Catching drool and little curls from when I forget to wear a bonnet. She is quite the courageous little thing, roaring louder than the pride only at the age of 3 (not counting doll years). This is Lily, she is pleased to meet you! Born…

  • Yummy Nemo Cakes

    Ne-mo has totally won me over and no, I’m not talking about the adorable brave clown fish who got lost at sea. Ne-mo happens to be a brand that makes specialty cakes, amazing specialty cakes! The kind that makes your mouth water. I’m drooling just thinking about it. Now I’m not saying it’s better than…

  • JUST KEEP GOING…

    For the love of March and April… First and foremost, my sincerest apologies to you all for I have been absent for some time, I hope that you can continue to join me here. Life has caught up to me, in more ways than one. Not to sound like a broken record but life is…

  • African American History Month

    Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced. — James Baldwin I wanted my very last thoughts of February to be about Black History Month. As the month starts, I hear chatter about black history month. I hear things like why is it in February? Why is…

  • Happy Valentine’s Day!

    Happy Valentine’s Day!

    Happy Valentine’s day to those who live and love, regardless of your relationship status. LOVE: (noun) an intense feeling of deep affection (verb) feel a deep romantic or sexual attachment to someone I love seeing couples jump through hoops to plan and surprise each other. Picnics by the fire, Netflix and cuddling, dinner reservations for two,…

  • I’m coming out!

    I’m coming out!

    I’ve built my little space here and can’t wait to explore. Applesauce Chronicles started on Valentine’s Day because I want to re-invite my first (non-living) love into my life while living, learning, growing and exploring. I was in middle school and I wrote to escape, to have an opinion and to be rebellious. Not that I wasn’t rebellious…
