Day 2: Nick got up around 7:00 to get a little work done. I slept in until 7:45. It was great. Admittedly, during this two week break my schedule has been wildly unorthodox and unhealthy. This trip so far has actually been a great reset. We were out the door by 8:45, on our way… Continue reading Seattle Jan 1-3 2022, Day 2
Day 655, Numbers
a weird poem-ish, factoid, math related thought rabbit hole I fell down the other day ... This number varies by 1 or 2, or maybe 10. But for everyone this side of the pond, it's just about right. A few months short of two years. Six hundred fifty five. Say it slowly, out loud. Like… Continue reading Day 655, Numbers
Seattle, Jan 1-3 2022, Day 1
Day 1: We got a later start than I was originally hoping we would, but for the best reason. We were spending much needed down time with some of our best friends. Seriously, if you don't have adult besties who stay the night, make awesome brunches with you, cry over Queer Eye, and play Overcooked...… Continue reading Seattle, Jan 1-3 2022, Day 1
Change for Me in 2022
If you've been here for a while, you know I'm really into the whole resolution thing... but I'm definitely a goal person, and some people would say that's the same thing, so sue me... I feel like they're different. Anyway, the flipping of the calendar, it's exciting. A new chapter and a new season. And… Continue reading Change for Me in 2022

Best of 2021: Moments
Last year I wrote about the best Music, Books, Clothes, and Household items of 2020... and while those lists have their place, this year I really wanted to celebrate the moments. There were so many... and ironically most of them, I failed to capture on camera in anyway... because I succeeded in living in them.… Continue reading Best of 2021: Moments

The End of Another Season
It's been a while since I've really written. As with most Autumns in my life, this Autumns brought a lot of changes... a switch in the family I work for as the boys returned to school in person, full time, after almost 11 months with them. My own new classes, a new job for Nick,… Continue reading The End of Another Season
