Hydration is Key, and Other Lessons 2018 Taught Me
2018 has felt at least 84 years long for sure. But as it draws to a close, I’ve found myself in an introspective mood. I can easily say that 2018 has been the year that I’ve felt the closest to being an actual adult. I’ve learned a lot about the world and about myself and…

10 Best Posts of 2017
We don’t think we’re alone in saying that we will not miss 2017. On a global scale, it was a year of turmoil, distress, and apocalyptic scenes from coast to coast. But on a personal note, we did some things last year that we are proud of, including on this blog. So in an effort…

An Act of Faith
So this week I had initially planned to talk about the prom for adult nerds that I helped throw. It was going to be me waxing poetic about belonging and having a safe space, letting people reclaim milestones, etc. It would have been great. However, this week also marked the beginning of the Jewish High…

Winter 2017: Make a Brand New Start of It
A new year has dawned and, for maybe the first time, we both returned from our beloved Bluegrass State after a holiday break with that cozy, fuzzy feeling of going back home.

December Playlist: Comfort and Joy
We here at Zelda & Scout are firm believers in separation of the holidays. October is for jack-o-lanterns, November for turkeys: We do not subscribe to pre-Thanksgiving Santa hats or peppermint kisses. We fast and abstain, shutting out the twinkle lights and the carols that every store starts piping in as soon as Halloween passes (sometimes…

15 New Things for 2015
Well, it’s official. A new year has begun. I’ve never really been big on New Year’s resolutions, partly because it seems arbitrary to me that January 1st is the day when you suddenly turn your life upside down, and partly because I have a terrible track record at keeping them. I think part of it stems…

Happy New Liver!
Ah New Year’s Eve — a time for reflection, a time for resolution, a time for…inebriation. Some of you may be going out, partying your faces off in some sticky-floored bar, hoping to smush faces with a special someone (or just a someone) when the clock strikes 12. If you’re like Scout, you will avoid…
