I’m a little late with this, but made it within the week! We celebrated a bit last year, but this is the first June where I’ve truly been able to enjoy this amazing life partner in his role as a father. Our girl has someone who will champion her, encourage her, guide her and protect… Continue reading Happy Father’s Day
Summer on the Steps
I love love love this space and how we get to enjoy it in summer. I can’t take credit for our tub gardens but I’m so thankful I married someone with a green thumb. These aren’t big enough to process all of our compost, but we’re able to dump some of it in them. Sitting… Continue reading Summer on the Steps
Just deleted Instagram from my phone.
Since I’ll only be using it to see others’ pictures and communicate, i can access it from my computer as needed. This is such a nice feeling. I’m really looking forward to the world of micro-blogging.
I’m Breaking Up With Social Media
Before I even begin, I feel the need to caveat two things: 1. My aim is for this to be a brief post. It won’t be exhaustive or dive into every nuance possible. 2. I’m not explaining this to try to convince you to make the same decisions that I have. I just want to… Continue reading I’m Breaking Up With Social Media

Im going to be posting more little things here – more on why later. For now here is this. A perfect morning. A glimpse of a thousand moments i hope I never forget. Birds chirping and golden sunlight kissing the grass. And a brilliant little spirit discovering the world. How i love this life with… Continue reading This.
Grandma
Three years ago this May, I hugged my grandma for the last time. We both knew that’s what it might be, though we hoped it wouldn’t. I’m so thankful for two and a half more years of phone calls, pictures, Christmas gifts and cards. I’m so thankful she got to meet my daughter this year,… Continue reading Grandma
A random collection of thoughts on a tough day
Some days are tougher than others. Today was one of those. This weird year is wrapping up, and I’m not sure where we go from here. Ironically, at the end of 2019 I felt like I knew what was ahead. I had plans for the things I wanted to focus on. I was beginning my… Continue reading A random collection of thoughts on a tough day
The Social Dilemma
So there’s a movie on Netflix about how technology, and particularly the algorithms behind social media, affect our lives. You can go watch it or not watch it, and I’ll sum it up for you in a sentence: being addicted to and manipulated by technology is bad! There you go. I just saved you an… Continue reading The Social Dilemma
Thoughts On My Post-Partum Body
I’ve started running this week. It has me thinking a lot about post-partum body image. My body has changed so much in the last year. In fact, it has been almost exactly a year since this wild journey started. If you’ve ever been pregnant or know someone who has been pregnant, then you know that… Continue reading Thoughts On My Post-Partum Body
TBH
Can I be honest? This period of life is a little rough. A move compounded by coronavirus means I feel disconnected. I like to think of myself as someone who is grounded in community, but that doesn’t feel accurate right now. Nine months of growing a human, plus that move back to a junk food… Continue reading TBH
