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

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
It’s Been A While
I think it's easy to say that I may never manage true consistency in my posting. Unless of course we can consider my some what frequent blocks of absence a constant, in which case, I'm doing great. It feels as though a million things and nothing has happened since I last wrote. Politically speaking, the… Continue reading It’s Been A While
525,600.
It’s been a year. 525,600 minutes. 12 months, 52 weeks, 365 days, 4 seasons... One incredible research project, two messed up ankles, three jobs. There’s a million ways I could measure the last year. Although almost none of them fall into the categories RENT prescribed. In daylights: all of them, although I didn’t get out… Continue reading 525,600.
Lately and Soon, 3/6/2021
Life has felt really nuts, so much so that I feel like I’ve fallen behind, but I’m learning to let that shit go. I’ve been working hard on several projects, I have finals coming up, the kiddos I work with have had some big schedule changes, we’ve had guests, gotten vaccinated twice, had power outages,… Continue reading Lately and Soon, 3/6/2021
Crazy Paper Product Person
I’m fairly certain that at least a part of the blogger community overlaps with the community of people who have too many office and paper products. You know the type: the people who love the target office section, the one who loves office max, depot etc. They often also love craft and art stores. I’m… Continue reading Crazy Paper Product Person
The PLAY book
I picked it up on a whirlwind Target trip and was low key thinking and hoping it might be some fun ideas I could use with my kiddos... I ended up both disappointed and pleasantly surprised. (An experience I might add that I hadn’t had very many times in my life up until this last… Continue reading The PLAY book
By Candlelight: Day two
After writing Day one, we realized in a moment of beauty that we still had some hot water left in the tank. It was 11 pm but I rushed into the shower anyway. The water was surprisingly warm, making me both grateful and irked that the water heater is clearly the best and maybe only… Continue reading By Candlelight: Day two
By Candlelight: Day one
In the middle of desert on Valentine’s Day, we lost power... and finished our tarts by candlelight. It was romantic and cold. So we put a blanket on the floor by the fire, lit more candles and enjoyed our evening. This morning, waking up buried in blankets, my cat my feet, and Nick building a… Continue reading By Candlelight: Day one
An anchor, a skunk, a desk chair, and Van Gogh’s ear…
As promised a few of the very rough, very quick, and very useful (seriously, it’s a great mental reset) drawings from my drawing prompt book!
