Continue reading →: 2 Bed, 2 Bath, 3 car GarageI have a secret to confess. Sometimes when I’m bored at work… I look at real estate. I have no reason too (other than to pass the time or distract myself). We’re in our forever home which is lucky for us because have you seen these prices?!? Don’t even get…

Continue reading →: My Favorite PlaceMy Favorite Place- doesn’t that sound like a “theme” Raphie would have to write in A Christmas Story? Well it’s not. It’s actually the name of an improvisational game I was introduced to many summers ago. A former classmate briefly studied at one of the major improv studios in Chicago.…

Continue reading →: Untitled IThere’s a word I can’t say. Not because it’s naughty- if it were only four letters I think I could handle it. This is a word with about four syllables (give or take a few) that has to do with my four legged friend. Anthropomorphize. I get the Rs and…

Continue reading →: IndigestionI have really enjoyed writing my blog. It’s fun to just write little snacks and pull them out to post on a rainy Monday. So fun in fact that I have completely neglected my book. That, at the very least, is like writing an entree. The goal was to have…

Continue reading →: This Looks Like a Job For…I want to have a quick discussion about catch phrases. I want one. Well two actually. “So that got me thinking… (fill in the blank)” and “therein lies the problem” I don’t want to be clever, catchy or memorable. I’m not loving it and it certainly isn’t finger…

Continue reading →: AntsWhen I went to wash my hands this week, I had a little surprise. My kitchen sink was inundated with ants. Hundreds or them. Millions of them. I couldn’t really say for sure. But I do know they were living their best lives using the pools of water in the…

Continue reading →: ROY G. BIV, Esq.I always make a beeline to the paint section at Home Depot. We’re usually there for something much less exciting, but I can’t help it. I love color. I love seeing all the paint chips systematically arranged by value and hue- creativity and order synergized in one perfect display. Don’t…

Continue reading →: PhoHave you ever thought about how every decade seems to have one phrase so ingrained in the vernacular it becomes part of the cultural zeitgeist of that era? No? I have. The 60s had “Make love, not war.” The 70s had “Groovy baby ( or maybe that’s just Austin Powers…)…

Continue reading →: Husband, Part II remember the exact moment I knew I loved my now husband. There were no fireworks. No heavenly choirs singing I Will Always Love You (as if any celestial being could sing it better than Whitney). Not to mention none of the love songs on the radio started making sense. …

Continue reading →: Trucks & BlueberriesMy husband is a horticulturist and a landscaper. When he’s in peak season, I become a landscaper too. I hate it. I mean I really hate it. I like being outside and all, but I hate dragging stuff, and bending over, and holly bushes, and don’t even get me started…
Hello,
I’m Kaytlyn
I’ve been a writer my whole life, but it took me 39 years to figure it out. Join me as I make up for lost time, cranking out my brand of creative nonfiction- mostly short, personal essays and other piffle. I hope you like reading it as much as I like writing it. Let me know in the comments, unless you don’t like it- then keep it to yourself. I’m fragile.
Let’s connect…
Except I don’t do socials. Maybe you should try my beeper.
Join the fun!
A relationship is a two-way street. Do your part and subscribe to stay up to date with my latest posts and maybe even share a thing or two yourself. I can’t be the only one doing all the work around here.
